MC Number, seems to be a lot of "Best Trucking" out there lol
The amount of fraud going on right now in our industry is just crazy.....It's like taxes....stop robbing the people and use the current tax base and there's plenty to go around! If we could get rid of all these crooks there's (or will be hopefully!!) enough freight for everyone to make a living!! GRRRRRRR.....sorry rant over!!!

Just got an inquiry on one of our loads from ON to VA by this company: THE BEST TRUCKING AND DELIVERY, MC 1630011, US DOT# 4218224 OUT OF AUSTIN, TX.
Same story quoted $1000 USD on very specialized liftgate service. Chances are were planning to double broker. We decided to avoid them.

We almost booked a load with them yesterday. As soon as they asked for quick-pay we suspected that something was off. We asked for their authorities and insurance and when they sent it you can see that the insurance certificate was revised and looked fake. We asked them for 3 references which they provided. When we called those references they said they have no idea who this carrier is and it's not the first call they are getting asking for references for this company. My next step was to look here and sure enough confirmed that they are just another scammer. This is getting worse and worse. You have to be so careful with these scammers.
Can anyone advise their vetting process and give some advice on how to avoid these scammers?

This is a good process. We also just disregard anyone who registered in the past 5 years.
Also don't use Wolverton Transport. Christine Wolverton is a POS.

As others have said, be extremely cautious of any new entry, 5 years or less. For US shipments always check the US Safer website. At least three verifiable references as a minimum. Do a Google search for comments and reviews even though they are easily fabricated. While on Google, check their address on Google Maps. Is it an actual transport yard, or someone’s residential address? Verify the insurance with the broker and even the insurance company if things sound fishy. Websites can be deceiving , but pictures of Euro style cabovers, and incomprehensible language are good indicators of the quality of what you are thinking about buying. Addresses spread across the country and numerous phone numbers with different area codes used to mean this was an established company with branches far and wide. Now it usually means this is a sketchy outfit playing the cheap insurance game. Most importantly, use your vetting process religiously, every time you are entertaining using a new entity. It can be tough on a Friday afternoon of a long weekend when there is only one carrier willing to pick up your already late to load shipment, and your customer is getting pissed at the delay, but you have to follow procedure. What’s worse, being another day late or having some Bozo lose, damage or hold your customers freight hostage? Hire only reputable carriers, pay them the rates they ask for and within their terms, and lo and behold….this game becomes a lot easier to play. “Nickel and dimeing” carriers, new or established, in an attempt to have a big pay day does not pay off in the end. You’ll end up with crappy service, spend way too much time on one load, maybe lose your hard earned customer and earn yourself a bad reputation as a low rate broker in our industry, and all for what, a single load home run? Not worth it in the long run.

Please DO NOT use this company at all, we caught them trying to double broker our load. They accepted a load going from BC to California, they sent us a COI, Carrier Package etc. Everything checked out at first until it was time to deliver the load. They double brokered the load to a local carrier and lied to us saying that their driver has the product near the deliver site but they wont deliver due to multiple fake excuses. In the end we located the product however, please do not use this company at all they use fake aliases to double broker and scam the industry, save yourself this headache and avoid them at all cost.

Gave this guy a load because he was close by. Told shipper to only load him. Didn't show up, "truck problems". Next day it's double brokered through Maersk LLC for over $1000 USD than what's in the load.
