His name is ANDREW SABO and e-mail andy.sabo@routexint.com.
He is an awful payer and I had to contact the shipper and receiver in order to have the chq released. Only this way you will have payment for your load.

I have to update my previous post from this morning. I just got my cheque in the mail today. It was dated Feb 25 (60 days from invoice). So I think they are printing the cheques and maybe holding on to them before they mail them. No way even the mail could have taken from March 16th until today to reach me. I suspect it was just mailed a short time ago. But I did get paid...now let's make sure it clears the bank...
We took a shipment from them 3 years ago, $200 measly bucks...took 100+ days to collect. We only checked their credit after we did the load since the value was so low...our fault for not being more vigilant. I couldn't believe the credit rating, and can't believe they are still in business. Glad we got paid. Chica, if you still have the envelope it was mailed in, you can always see the post office's received date printed faintly on it....this can give you a clue if they were holding it, or if it really got 'lost' on the way to you.... Just food for thought for future situations like this.

Thanks for the advice, Boss. The envelope is too faint to read, but good advice for next time we have the same problem. He has a couple of good customers, so I don't know why he doesn't pay. Anyways, glad it's over and load is paid.

March invoice - still waiting on payment. Andy never in the office - I have called everyday this week - always the same answer "he's not in"....Andy says Real does the cheques. Spoke to Real this week - said Andy does them....cheque mailed end of May...well before the strike - never received....
Stay far away from this useless outfit....will collect from the customer.
Approaching 90 days on our receivable....
BEWARE....BEWARE....BEWARE....

I know for a fact that Andy does the paycheques. He babbles on and on about politics when you get ahold of him to avoid the subject of your cheque. We got our cheque after many, many phone calls. But he sure seems to take alot of holidays and have lots of meetings with customers etc. Any excuse not to answer the phone. And he will always blame Canada Post and their poor service for the 3 weeks it takes you to get your cheque!

Just an update on my post below....
Finally got paid - had to get the customer involved. If you come across Routex anywhere....and I mean anywhere....run for the hills....
Save yourself the migraine, constant calls, emails and dodging....they just don't like to pay....plain & simple....

lkpltd,
This is old news regarding Routex and Andrew Sabo. He is one of the most unprofessional owners I have ever had the misfortune of speaking to or dealing with.
He pays when he gets paid - when we wants and how he wants. Plain and simple. He is completely arrogant - I don't know why he has such an "ego" - he's just a typical lousy MTL freight broker with no money, no class and doesn't pay....
Nor does he care if you call his customer - shipper or receiver. In fact if you "threaten" this recourse - he'll tell you to call them all!!!!
Many of us are fully aware of him - have been for years....you will be waiting a long time to get anything out of him....

When I looked them up on this site I knew then this was going to be old news just wanted to advise that Routex International was at it again. Thanks anyway.

Tom,
Are you a TransCore Link Logistics Customer (or owner, or part owner)?
I will at this time assume your answer is 'no'. If 'yes', please disregard the rant below and accept my apologies.
You do understand that TransCore Link Logistics provides a variety of software and services to its customers and really is accountable only to its customers and to its owners.
To the customer - an ethical and moral obligation to accept and monitor the practices of all customers and of course to do it's best to prevent service disruptions.
To the owner(s) - to be as profitable as possible in providing its products/services.
Why should they be obligated to act on complaints from you? To be honest with you, we’ve been a customer of theirs since day 1 (literally) and I have a hard time understanding why they would even discuss with a non-customer confidential information about customers, pending investigations or in house procedures… I’m inclined to call in and complain to them about doing so.
Don’t get me wrong, I admire your persistence in attempting to collect on your customers behalf and do hope you are successful for every single account that hires your services. I have distaste for people that never intend to pay, we’ve all been burned at one time or another…
I just can’t read another post where you are instructing another company how to run their business and what they ‘need’ to do immediately… Please stop.
If you want to make a real impact to ‘stop the delinquents’ from opening new businesses after closing a bankrupt one, lobby an MP to enforce stricter laws in order to JAIL those that double broker without paying the hauling carrier or to enforce carrier freight bills as a ‘secure creditor’ for those contracting a carrier for services (brokers, manufacturers, shippers, etc...) but don’t try and hold Link accountable for all the shysters, they do try their best to filter the ‘good’ companies from the ‘bad’ ones.
To all members, I’m sorry if I’ve broken the member terms and conditions (directing my comments at a specific member in a negative way) but I had to say what the bulk of us have been thinking for some time… I hope Admin can forgive me…
Keep well,
Mike

Mike Jr you have hit it on the head, my opinion is that this site is being used as a tool to collect. By that I mean a certain someone does all this posting and updating then goes to the company he is trying to collect from and gives them the link to this site to show what he can do to their reputation. I'm not sure how I feel about it to be honest, because I firmly believe do what you have to do to get your money, but I do tire of all the updates with the same info over and over.
To All Concerned,
Why not send your write up's to Club Piscine who's being sued for $50K to $60,000.00 because Routex International decided to RIP off the trucker? Or call Groupe Robert and ask them how much fun they had at the time Groupe Robert was writing off $300k due to White Birch's Bankruptcy (who is connected with SP Newsprint). I also ask that you review all of my postings - every one of them - and confirm if you are doing business with any of them on credit terms. Take a poll - call 1000 truckers and ask if they would rather have knowledge or not of a deceptive, unreliable, 2 faced broker or trucker who is not paying for freight or owner operators.
Without a doubt my practices / productions is well appreciated in the trucking industry. My format is no different than any other trucker in terms of chasing outstanding freight invoices. As far as Load Link - come on - really? Ask them at the time they booted Tony with Kingston off the link. They knew Tony was the owner and still eating off of their site with GHK and the Link LOOKED the other way. You talk about a mockery to the system. As far as Routex - the complaints I have knowledge of against Routex - the truckers that had filed the complaints were ready, willing and couldn't wait to do it. There's enough complaints in place that the link cannot look the other way. There are no debtor jails in regards to your comment on double brokering and you know better.
However, what helps the industry is for truckers, brokers etc. must do their due diligence and work options such as postings etc. Get the word out - the sooner the better - because you NEVER know what's under the rug!
Sincerely,
Tom Lebarron

Agreed,
This forum (in part) is to protect each other from the 'baddies'. Please keep it up. We all need to watch each others back.
Just stop trying to tell TransCore how to run their business, they are not the 'law', they are not accountable to you and they are trying to cut off the unethical providers once enough ligitimate complaints come in (that they must research and verify). There is a process like every company that must be adhered to of course.
Thank you for your announcements regarding new delinquents, it's appreciated.
Don't forget to donate to the site, it's not free to run.
Keep well,
Mike

Well....
All I can do is shake my head here Tom. To be honest - I was looking forward to your reply from MikeJr's post. I am sure you pondered a reply for quite some time. I certainly would have. Simply due to the fact that his comments were blunt, accurate, enlightening and completely necessary. But alas - I am disappointed....
You failed to answer the questions which were posed to you. Obviously you are NOT a Link member. Therefore have no right to contact anyone at Link about a delinquent who owes YOUR customer monies. I have spoken to many people at Link regarding you, your collection practices and inquiries - it needs to stop.
Yes - this forum is designed as a tool and resource for many facets of transportation. Credit and collections is just one of the many topics on this board. But it's a topic you have "swarmed" and taken over since becoming a member here. I speak for many of us - we are tired of your posts which consist either of "old news" or constant updates. Being in the US I'm afraid leaves you "out of the loop" on many occasions.
Collections are unfortunate Tom - it means someone has not been paid. I can relate on some level with you as I look after receivables myself. But there is more to the job then just posting and commenting here. You have got to be active and creative in many other avenues of collections - that is what makes it challenging.
The forum is but one resource in the huge world of transport. A resource many of us have built up to be quite a niche - one that is certainly gaining popularity and status. With that status comes a responsibility to ensure its place and "good word" with fellow brokers, carrier and truckers. We all want the same thing here - to work hard - provide a good service and be paid for it.
Everyone is aware of the "doom & gloom" we all face or potentially have to deal with in trucking. We just don't need your constant reminders of that...on a daily basis...
Thank you
