Keep getting calls from this company wanting to haul a load for me, says he has lots of trucks etc etc, can't find anything on him, so very suspicious.

I'd be careful.

Also Residential address in Edmonton with a GTA telephone and one truck.
Many "sketchy" Carriers are all of a sudden opening "Offices" in AB & NS... These "Offices" are typically an accountant, UPS Store or a residence (likely a family member or friend).
They're doing this to take advantage of lower taxes. Is it legal - I'm not sure. It seems un-ethical to me.

As well... this probably isn't the only unsavory thing their doing.

We'll choose to stay away from anyone using this business model.

They are doing it for insurance rates as they have fucked the rates up for the rest of us now it it NS and Aberta's run to pay for these assholes that close the roads daily. For some reason most of the carriers if you trace them back are all in 3 towns in the GTA wanna guess which 3?
 
I think there is a few things they are dodging out that way, taxes, insurance rates and WSIB.
I won't touch these guys unless they have inspections showing on the US side, more than 1 unit with some mileage, or some super solid references and I don't mean TQL. Complete gong show otherwise.

Hey guys , I deleted my postings on this thread yesterday and was willing to give them a try since they are 9 months old now

distant and vague with updates from the start knew this would result in cancelation " truck stuck at previous delivery" when they couldnt dbl broker through whatapps group

now they have reason to hit the dnu
 
Made a mistake and didnt check insider transport before assigning them a load. Was late for delivery by 2 days, they dont respond to emails, and lied about driver being onsite.
Do yourself a favor and DNU

Had Lynfox on a few of my shipments not too long ago - dispatch apparently spread across a few offices.
Never picked up one of the loads - had to send in one of our guys to do the load.
Second shipment was delivered much later than the agreed upon date. I would avoid.
 
Google rating is a 2.3, and Safer Web has their OOS at 30% - so I wouldn't hire them to be honest.

Just wait until they find out about Flag of Convenience ;)
 
You are better off rolling the pickup to the next day or next week and assign load to other carrier rather than shipping with lynfox.
