Dealt with QCT Inc 4 weeks ago and became nervous after reading all these comments. There driver named Parminder came to grab a cheque this morning. Very friendly guy. Truck was white and trailer was blank. Feeling a little more at ease now after talking to their driver.

As I said, running outside of compliance. You actually don't know who you are hiring, whether they are insured etc. because everything is done in a way that it's a huge paper chase. The driver would end up going to what is probably the old Sheldon office and handing in the cheque and getting another one for his cut. I just find it high risk should something go wrong ... but they are not, and never have been ill-intentioned.
Man did you ever bring back memories for me!!! I used to have to go into his dingy little office with the stack of phone books piled on the floor. He would reach into his paper bag under his desk and pull my cash out (of course after you waited a while). He would constantly tell whoever was on the phone, "wait, don't go, few more minutes" haha

Sounds like he's still alive. Last address we have on file for him is Bathurst street in Toronto. Keep on trucking Sheldon!

He is still around under Grizzly.
We move freight for him once in a while.
He's lost his voice and communicates via Email only.
No more going to Spadina to pick up cheques... He pays via E Transfer now @ 21 days.

They did a load for us, good service. I followed up to ensure driver (parmjit) was paid. Had drivers cell number and he confirmed that he was in fact paid.
Would use again, if needed.
Sister company got a load from them, paid quick pay as it was the first load. All was fine, picked up cheque at their office in Whitby

To help clarify. I have been dealing with QCT for approximately 4.5 years. They are the same QCT as was on Automatic but they moved. We only move about 10 loads a year with them but we have never had an issue with them. We don't take the QP option as its a little too steep, but they pay about 45 days. They are not Sheldon, but glad to hear he s still alive .He s been around forever i hear.

Back in May I was giving a load to one of our carriers, I offered her good rate going to west but she said I booked it for very good price which was over 1500 what I was paying, ( surely I wasn't low balling I cover 3-4 loads a week at that rate without a problem). I said to the carrier you are very lucky on this, let me know if you need my help on backhaul to east. she said NO this broker already have me covered for backhaul too. WOW so out of curiosity I asked how much, she said 1000 over this time than regular pay rate. I just said be safe and hung up. Moving forward after 10 days, I got a call from the carrier asking to help out to backhaul.
OK I said what happened to your backhaul, she said the broker has been holding us for last 4 days saying shipment is not ready. So luckily I had a load and brought them back to home.
Now, in mid-Nov she called me again and asking me how to get unpaid bills, again out of curiosity I asked because I knew back in mind it gotta be the same broker and Yes it was. IT WAS QCT out of Whitby ladies and gentlemen, one more unpaid bill trophy goes to them. 5 months not paid, saying you delvd late, the customer is not paying us.
