FLS Transportation

They (FLS) do note their NB office as 90 McNaughton Ave. Moncton NB. That is Keltics building.
 
You know good old Link show's them under members list twice with locations in MTL & Calgary. As a carrier.
Go over to Safer and under MC # 208433. They have a horse and a wagon. They belong to that elite group
of yahoo's out of Montreal. That double & Triple broker freight.
 
They don't own them 100% but they have a vested interest in the company. This isn't a new thing ... they've been involved for probably 5-6 years or so.
 
FLS is on my DNU list, we won't sign their contract. If you read it they show one address as Montreal, the other in Delaware, with no bond.

Then add the 70-90 days to pay and not a leg to stand on if they do defalt on payment. You don't have the right to collect from the customer should they not pay.

BUYER BEWARE IS WHAT I CALL THIS CONTRACT!!!

Most of the Broker contracts that I see now have a section stating that we, the carrier, can NOT go after the paying customer for non payment by the Broker. I alway run a line thru that section and intial the change over the printing. You do not have to sign their contract as presented. No way I will ever willing give up my right to go after everyone for payment.
 
They had 50 or so trucks running a few years ago and they decided to shut the FLS trucking division down when times were really crappy, and for a while you'd see a Keltic hauling an FLS trailer or vice versa. As far as what I think of them as a company, I think with a lot of the larger outfits it's a matter of who you're dealing with there because each is running a 'mini-show' within the theatre, sort of speak. TQL seems to have a universally crappy rep though, they must have a hard time getting people there who actually care about ethics or something ...
 
FLS, are they in financial trouble? Since the beginning of this year they are right around 120 days. When they should be about to pay, which has always been around 75 days to reception by mail, we get a nasty and threatening request for our POD and invoice. I have some invoices for which I have responded to e-mails as many as 4 times... sending again and again the same invoice... Looks like you have to take loads on a regular weekly basis to get paid in a timely fashion... don't know how you do it when they usually offer less per mile than what you need to cover costs...
 
Does anyone use their quick pay option? How "quick" is it actually?
 
Okay, so we have finally been paid for all invoices that were due. I finally got to deal with someone who is actually at work to do a job. I still haven't been able to figure out why everything I sent them seemed to end up in the land of the lost socks. We are now on the EDI list so maybe this will help things along.
