Be aware of VUK Trans/ FTL Trans
VUK is taking loads from scammers and when they don't get paid, they will go after the shippers.
They have no honor and blame everyone for their own mistakes, and taking anyone's load.
They take a load from FTL Trans (known scammer), then when they didn't get paid by the scammer will harrass and force a shipper to pay again for the same load
Beware!

What do you expect the guy to do if he is not paid by who he got the load from Sir? ( excuse me if i have an assumed pronoun) You have said you are a shipper well sorry to say this is all on YOU. You should of vetted your broker or carrier a little better and maybe paid a little better ( cannot say as have no idea of your rates) and folks would not be chasing you and your company because of the fact you gave loads to a not so reputable company. I as would every other carrier on here would be chasing anything and anybody we can to get paid as we did do the work after all. VUK maybe should be more up to snuff on who are the bad apples but so should you if you are sending I beleive it was 10-15 loads a week you said in another post out.

Not ok to take load from a scammer. At least check out who you are doing business with first before incurring costs and then blaming everyone. who is to blame? a trucking company taking a load from a scammer and not checking into who they are working in advance, or the shipper giving a load to a scammer who is just going to broker it to someone legit who doesn't care who they get a load from?

I am sure that the shipper's bill of lading may contain a reputable but lazy freight broker who did not properly vet VUK - "Vick can't even decide if his internet address ends in .ca or .com. Love to know how VUK was even sourced by persons unknown.

This is really weird - if you click on vuktransport.ca as shown above, it directs you to an internet marketing sight.
If you type it in in your browser, it brings up their website, though you can't quite makeout the name on the tractors or trailers

Trailer is Overland Transport. Originally from Castlegar B.C. Not sure if that is still considered Head Office...

No carrier willingly takes a load from a scammer. They take a load from some unknown entity usually because of desperation - their truck is empty, and their driver needs to move. The process of matching a load and truck now a days is actually a joke. Nobody has load information other than origin city and destination city. All the other pertinent information to make a decision is woefully inadequate and left out of the conversation, sometimes I wonder if it's on purpose. I had one of my dispatchers put a conversation on the speaker phone - this is how it went:
Carrer: Hi, I'm calling about your load - Atlanta to Mississauga for today. I have a truck (gets cut off)
Broker: What's your rate? (notice, no hi, what's your name, how are you..)
Carrier: What are the expectations?
Broker: Atlanta to Mississauga for today - what's your rate?
Carrier: Do you have any other information?
Broker: Truckload, 44000 lbs. Whats your rate? If you don't have a rate I have other calls to take.
Carrier: OK, how does $1200 sound?
Broker: I'll call you back if I get the load - click. (doesn't get a name, carrier, phone number - nothing.)

Now after you do this dozens of times for one truck a dispatcher starts to get frustrated. This happens with each post that a dispatcher is lucky enough to get a hold of someone. There is no time for vetting or identifying if the guy is a scammer - the dispatcher is just happy if he can book a load.

The onus is on the shipper or the original person paying the freight to ensure that they are utilizing a reputable organization broker. If they are just going to take the lowest cost provider and give them the full control they will experience headaches in this market just the same as the actual carrier who is getting burned by the scammer.

Both are equally to blame for not being professional and diligent in who they are doing business with. The problem starts with the shipper who should have vetted his carriers better. Then the problem is compounded by the the actual carrier not checking out who he is offering is services to. If the shipper had reviewed Vuk Transport website, even briefly, they would have soon learned that this outfit was suspect. Poor business practices all around on this one. Almost makes the scammer look the smart guy in this scenario.

Why are you defending these so-called scammers? Are you the broker/shipper giving the load to FTL who ultimately gave Vuk the load?

What an odd post. I would be cautious with the choice of words you are using in your header as it can be considered defamatory. If I or any of us were in the same boat whether we knew the risk or not would come after the shipper for nonpayment. you as the shipper have the responsibility to hire reputable carriers and brokers and not give it to the cheapest and scummiest broker that does not pay their carriers, If you do not then you should know will have to pay twice if you go down that route.

I disagree. A website should not be the first reason to raise a red flag. NFFI has a great website, so does most of Mr. Otal's companies. At the end of the day the shipper here chose a broker who he himself claims is a scammer. Why give the load to move to in the first place:

This shipper paid a known broker who was a scammer then calls the carrier "Dishonorable" for going to the shipper to collect what's owed.

And shipper's dont need to vet the carrier thats what the broker is supposed to do. If I was a shipper and I hired a broker and still had to vet the carrier as well as provide the load why would I need a broker then?

You're kidding about the quality and appearance of the website...right???? Their website can't string a comprehensive sentence together or apply even the most basic grammar and language skills. No question, a company's website is not the be all and end all when determining whether they are professional or not, but it sure goes a long way in that regard.

I will have to disagree. The government has a nice website with proper grammar but they still seem to screw me every day.
