@Mike07 did you end up working with them? They are attempting to get set up for a load with us, they are new and look a little suspicious. LMK, thank you sir

Both shipper and receiver wrote down a different carrier name? That is not only very suspicious but also has the distinct aroma of double brokering. Before anyone gets paid, you might want to be absolutely sure who moved the load.
Agreed. When they left the shipper and I saw what carrier was on the paper work, I called the receiver and asked them if they have cameras on site or if they can take a picture for me. They said they would. When time came, they forgot. But they wrote down the same carrier the shipper did. So its pretty clear what happened. But I wanted the evidence.

If the names on the Bill of Lading don’t match the name of the carrier you arranged to haul the load with, then you have ample proof of double brokering.I am sure you will hear the excuse that this was a “sister” company. There seems to be a proliferation of “sisters” these days! Try and talk to the carrier who actually hauled the freight and get their side of the story, and most importantly, what they were paid.
One of the members in our office approved the set up of this carrier. They did 100% double broker our load.
Picked up Tuesday was to deliver Friday in Calgary, advised late Friday night the driver was delayed and would arrive late Saturday early Sunday. Monday still not on site, carrier advised he was onsite several times and even stated a door #.
Tuesday morning after applying firm pressure on their insurer were advised that the Fresh Load of Meat was cross docked at a non Refridgerated cross docked on to another carrier. This was done in Mississauga on Monday evening, 3 days after delivery was to happen.
1000% stay away from this carrier...

This is a classic example of what can go wrong when a load is double brokered. We are all aware that many, if not most times a double brokered load gets delivered without incident. However, when control of your freight gets transferred from the carrier you hired to another, unknown party without your knowledge, anything and everything can go completely sideways, as this case so graphically displays. Constant vigilance and an abundance of caution are required at all times, more so now than ever.
