If anybody is interested the Mercantile act does work, We did 2 loads for Rockman in January 2010 and did not get paid from them , after numerous calls and excuses then not returning our calls, we contacted the buyer of the shipments and notified them of our issues with Rockman. We finally did get our money from the consignee after sending them a copy of ther Mercantile act and explaining that we would pursue this in small claims court including them on the suit under the Mercantile act , So there is hope for honest carriers that try to get dooped by these Bums such as Rockman
