I’m reaching out not just for myself, but for every honest broker, carrier, and shipper in our industry. last Friday, Trans Atlantic Transportation turned what should have been a simple $700 CAD load (tender attached) into a nightmare of fraud and extortion.
The load was supposed to move from MS Food Inc., Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu PQ → Brampton ON. Instead of handling it, Trans Atlantic secretly double brokered it to LT Group. All day they ignored my messages. Only when I threatened police did they admit what happened. LT Group then refused to deliver unless they were paid $5,000 CAD, holding my load hostage. In the end, I had to pay $2,000 CAD just to get freight released.
This isn’t just my problem. It’s a pattern that others have already suffered from:
- Double brokering to hide the real carrier.
- Hostage tactics demanding inflated ransom payments.
- Disappearing after money changes hands.
Trans Atlantic Transportation is not just dishonest — they are a danger to every one of us who relies on trust in this business. If we don’t unite, they will keep repeating this scam and draining money from hardworking carriers and brokers.
I ask for your support: please share this alert, blacklist them in your networks, and if you’ve faced similar issues, reply with details. I will be filing reports with authorities, but we are stronger if we act together.
Let’s protect each other and stop this fraudster once and for all.
