Stressbeater, I just have to ask and it's not just you, I see over 2 pages of bad info on this company and you are asking for updated info.....is it because they owe you money or are you considering doing work for them?
Like I said I see this all the time on this site and am just curious if anyone would do business with these people or do they have an outstanding receivable?

Lowmiler88,
I was thinking the exact same thing here as you. With all that has been added on this forum regarding CGL - pretty evident regarding their current financial position.

We are meeting with one of their clients and I just wanted to validate "arrears" nature of their payables as possible selling point.

drivers stories
I have had a few guys leave over the years, to go to them. Drivers are promised the moon, but apparently, if you sleep with the dispatcher, you get the better loads. Sounds like a top notch joint to me.

wow, when everyone else is raising driver pay, think they missed the boat on that one
Classic case of mismanagement
This seems to me to be a classic case of mismanagement or incompetence or possibly both in tandem. If anyone has been told "we're having cash flow problems", then in effect your being told "we don't know how to operate a business". If they are having cash flow problems as a result of a large customer not paying them, then it's obvious that they don't have the kahunas or the will to get serious about collections. The largest customer that any business has, could very well be the death knell of that business, if that large customer cannot pay within terms, as must be in the case here. Why would they continue to grant credit to a defaulting customer? Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, unless they are granted some form of security to place them as a secured creditor, or provided with a personal guarantee from the owner or principals. If, in attempting to extend credit terms while in default, they are unwilling to give you some form of guaranteed security, then they themselves have no confidence in their own ability to turn things around. Even if it's a Fortune 500 company your dealing with, it's being operated by incompetents with no idea about how to control financial matters, if they try to impose upon you, the relief they unilaterally grant to others.
This is from CGL's website:
As a company, and as individuals, we value:
A passion for our customers and partners
A collective approach to personal development and corporate excellence
Quality processes that drive positive results
Dedication and the will to succeed
Integrity, honesty, and loyalty
Obviously, the above is meant for the optics, rather than being held to as a true prediction of their behavior.

Oh Sevana,
I cringed when I read your post regarding "payment update". They have seriously downsized - have been hanging on by a thread literally for years.
I would hate to see you burned and posting 4 months from now still not paid. Keep them to COD and you won't have to worry. I have enough experience with this company (good and bad) - save yourself the headache....they just don't work when given "credit" - in any scenario....

We are still owed $2,850 from this company. We have had to include the shipper to get all outstanding monies but this last amount is almost impossible.
The president of Customized Global Solutions, Frank Snyder, will not return e-mails or phone calls even though we have a letter on his letterhead with his signature that promised more timely communication and payment details.
Please do not use this company.
