They just did 4 loads for me. I wasnt aware of them being brokers... they moved flatbeds from california and did an excellent job
Just an update, I noticed a sign, over a door, at a commercial property, on Dundas St. in Woodstock, with this company's name. I have also noticed a tractor that was decalled and pulling a flat bed with the same logo in Woodstock. Their SMS shows a number of inspections with number of different plates and quite a spread of states. They do not have an authority for brokerage under their carrier id MC927785.

The place on Dundas must be relatively new, only noticed it the other day because I was looking for the new walk-in clinic there too. I think they have a yard over by Bysham Park?
More and more we're seeing companies posting out of random cities only with another city's phone # and a house listed as their address. But they are a 'trucking company'. It seems all you need is a MC# and the Link allows access regardless if you are a carrier or a broker....or should I say 'broker'.
The problem is a sum of all the failed parts:
- Load link wants the customer so they don't do as good of a job vetting the potential customer. They will allow a customer whose billing address does not match that of the billing address for load link. They just make sure they're paid in advance.
- Carriers don't vet their customers - the driver is waiting and here is an opportunity. We'll deal with non-payment later.
- Broker/Carrier references are non existent and if some are offered they're friends or relations - if you can't find 3 people to vouch for you then you're really in trouble.
- Small Claim Court (SCC) is a joke. Even if you get a judgment, have fun trying to collect.
- Its easier and safer to screw hard working honest people than it is to make money. This is caused by a lack of enforcement.
