Yeah Fr8Guru is the worstThis guy loves to stir the pot on every post — like it’s his full‑time hustle.
@Ruler, There is something called checking the Market rate.weird situation, post they have trucks and post at same time they have loads, seems strange , but not trying to judge , just want transparency
With all due respect, you don't have a website and you are less than 1 year old as your company opened according to the Canada Business Registery at the end of January of this year. How do you expect people to trust you? Especially when you come online with this terrible attitude, unfortunately until you become established you will be seen as just another number company in Ontario.@Ruler, There is something called checking the Market rate.
I also just checked Transcredit and I cannot find any credit report on themWith all due respect, you don't have a website and you are less than 1 year old as your company opened according to the Canada Business Registery at the end of January of this year.

This is the current landscape in world of trucking at the moment.
Why not pick up the phone and call a few carriers to see what the “market rate” is? It also offers a great opportunity to establish a better business relationship with your suppliers. Human interaction usually results in better outcomes than computer to computer transactions.@Ruler, There is something called checking the Market rate.
You just read this two page shit show and need an update?Any update on this company as not much to go on
We did not have good experence, but not saying they are bad to deal withAny update on this company as not much to go on
Absolutely! we will not send a pic of our trucks vin to anyone and risk a shady company then using that as there own. we have elogs that track for our usage and don't ever put anything on our drivers phones ...its just to much !! a lot of this can be avoided by building relationships with legit carriers with good reputations and reaching out to them first. but most just "post it" to get rates and use the cheapest to "win" the freight. then complain about the service lol.And I'm so tired of jumping through a thousand hoops trying to prove that I'm not the same guy the broker got burned by earlier this week. I've been a carrier over 25 years, we have lots of publicly sourced information to prove that we exist and provide the intended service. Before anything happens, brokers can look at my FMCSA information to confirm dates of authority acquisition, insurance, SMS scores for valid inspections, CVOR status, website, google maps. We share a ton more information about our address, bank, WSIB, get our insurance broker to send certificates directly. Then get asked to log into some website - make me fill out forms, we get asked for all my lanes (which nobody ever looks at), transfer all the information from our W-8BENE into a form (why can I not upload this), CTPAT certificates (which we are supposed to add them to the portal). Some brokers use Highway which makes the owner get a code by phone, then have to send his driver's license and selfie just to get logged into put enter the information.
Now we have to get the driver to take a selfie in a specific spot in front of his truck and within a minute send the VIN number for the door panel. Then brokers want to dispatch the truck, talk to the driver, ask how many hours he has left on his log, ask if she has enough money for tolls, what fuel cards do you use, dispatch to a second place to pickup extra freight, oh and now please download this app on your phone so I can make sure you're on time. This is also followed up with send me the paperwork and the border crossing documents. To top it off they call at 4am to tell the driver that he's been stopped for 11 hours and you should be driving by now.
Yes, brokers have it tough, they can get burned by a guy who holds a load ransom or double brokers. Usually, they picked this carrier because he is the lowest rate by a bunch and didn't look at all the warning signs - just got their authorities, never used them before, never heard of them, new user on load link etc.
Carriers have the exact same problem but in reverse; we get brokers who go dark and will not answer their phones, do all that crap noted above but not pay any accessorial fees, short pay because the driver's battery on his phone died and it took 20 minutes to get their Macropoint back on, overload the driver, lie about the appointment time, no touch freight turns into hand bombing (but don't tell anyone, I'll throw you some money through interact after you're loaded), no customs paperwork. To top it all off I hear - sorry the customer did not approve any additional fees.
I'm all for due diligence but some of this is way over the top. If you're dealing with a one truck, one guy carrier, fine, then ask away. If you're working with a carrier who has dispatchers managing drivers and equipment, then asking for their insurance to send a VIN list and having drivers with selfies snap pictures in front of their truck holding today's paper is way too much. When the market turns around, and your customer is screaming to get his load moved in a tight market, brokers better rely on some other method to confirm the validity of the carrier because you'll get none of it. The carriers taking advantage of brokers will be out there in full force milking it. Now is the time to make good relationships with carriers when you can.
Did you know that our insurance company now requires us to ask for pictures of the carriers trucks to avoid scams? Usually just one or two pictures is all that's needed as long as the trucks are not identical in the picture and it's clearly not AI generated, which isn't that easy to tell and this is a fairly recent update as of the last year. And then you get a carrier saying oh I don't need to send you any pictures? You should just trust me, from what I'm reading.Hey Alex / VJ,
