We are a carrier and has done many work for TQS.We had even lent them skids and was promissed to ge paid on them. We haven't been able to reach them for about 1.5 months now. They have $3000 worth of invoices owed to us. Does anyone know what happened to them? We need to collect money owed to us. What can I do to collect? What if they filed for bankcruptcy, am i able to collect from shipper/receiver? What is the appropriate steps to collect? please help.. this is the second company who owe us thousands. SKN Logistics went bankcrupt. Is there any way to collect unpaid invoices from SKN? can i legally collect from shipper/receiver?

Spend the money and purchase advice from either a para legal experienced in transportation, such as Scam Chaser who is on this site, or a transportation lawyer. They can offer guidance on what your best plan of action should be. You will have to weigh for yourself the benefit of perhaps getting a judgement in Small Claims Court with maybe the possibility of receiving some or all of your outstanding debt vs writing off the debt and learning a valuable lesson about extending credit.

Jrhauling. Take Loader's advice. The best advice I could give you as well is to be very careful to whom you extend credit. If you are a new company, this is going to sting really bad, but you are going to learn a lesson we have all learned over the years. Don't give someone your truck if you don't do your research about them ahead of time. No matter how badly you want to keep your truck rolling, don't do it. If you give someone a chance that is new to you, after you have researched them, try giving them one move that is not worth thousands of dollars and get paid before you do another move for them. Give them an inch, not a mile. Build your credit with them slowly over time and don't extend too much credit to them until you have built up a history of ontime payments. Sorry this happened to you.

Jrhauling, the short answer to your question about going after the shipper/receiver for your unpaid invoices is......yes and no. There are too many variables to make a determination without knowing all the details. This is where proper, informed, legal advice can be worth its weight in gold. Look up a transportation paralegal and spend 100-200 dollars to learn what your options are. It certainly isn’t a process to try and do on your own.
