Aug 13/18 we booked a power only trip to haul our loaded trailer from GTA to CGY....trailer would be loaded and ready to roll Fri Aug 17 6pm...I saw the trailer at the Mississauga Husky 11 am Monday Aug 20...
Dispatcher Cassandra, Monday Aug 20 claimed she didn't know anything about the breakdown and couldn't reach the driver or her boss...trailer was supposed to arrive in CGY by Aug 21...
We booked this trip with you 5 days advance, your company and your drivers had the entire week to prepare for the trip.
Your driver pestered our shipper Friday wanting the trailer asap to get rolling.
Breakdowns happen, and sometimes without warning, I know. I've been at this for forty years, and am not ignorant to the realities of trucking.
Your truck broke down and no one from Trideck reported to us. Your driver told me, "I reported to my dispatcher, so what more could I do?" He's right, sort of.
We found out the trailer hadn't moved by spotting our loaded trailer sitting unsecured in a truck stop in the city. It's shocking someone didn't break into it. If I didn't see the trailer, when would you have ever got around to telling us you didn't move it ? INCREDIBLE !
I will share this tale or carelessness and irresponsibility with all my staff, and your company will never haul another load for us. Likewise I have shared the Tri-deck name with my clients and friends to save them from accidently going to work with such a group of incompetents.
Aside from the issue of not moving the trailer and leaving it unsecured, there's also the issue that the trailer wasn't in Alberta on time. The goods in the trailer we scheduled for timed delivery this isn't going to happen on schedule.
You have cost me and my clients hundreds, possible into thousands of dollars, because your organisation couldn't make a damned phone call.
