First American Car, Inc MC#574574
On 5/11/10 Interstate Transport brokered a load to First American Car, Inc for $3000. On 7/22/10 Harmon Trucking called our office to tell us that First American Car, Inc brokered the same load to them for $3100 and they did not get paid. First American Car, Inc does not have broker authority. Many attempts were made to contact First American Car, Inc and no calls were returned.
M Brothers MC 619703 Double Brokering & RS Logistics
M Borthers MC 619703 out of IL Booked a shipment wit us. It was a hot load coming out of WA going to IA & KY. They told us the drivers were empty and ready to go. We booked the load with them. Almost 4 hours later, after constant calls, they had the “drivers” call. Only one driver called in and he said the other driver wasnt with him, that he was in the truck. We told them we had to speak with both drivers, then they called us and told us that their load got reconsigned (he was already empty?)
Then after looking, M Brothers only shows having 4 trucks. So we called the driver and asked him what it says on the door of his truck, he said RS Logistics.
Edwin from M Brothers says no, it’s not the driver is mistaken.
Call to RS Logistics and the gentleman there says he owns both companies.
M Brothers was nice enough to send us a Broker/ Carrier contract that is between M Brothers & RS Logistics, while M Brothers has no brokerage authority in the first place.
This is the 3rd load that M Brothers has really gone bad on. Doubt they operate any of their own company trucks. M Brothers also uses RTS financial to bill out their freight bills to, the whole thing seems really shady

Details of the event: Bull Transportation MC193751 are operating from the same office Freedom Express Logistics operate. They have the same phone and fax numbers, offering ridiculous high rates and asking the carriers to pick up freight for Freedom Express. I had a bad experience hauling a load for Freedom Express… They took a load from sunshine logistics getting paid 1400 and double brokered to me offering 1800. I was lucky because the shipper didn’t loaded me since he (the shipper) gave the load to sunshine and I was cheeking in for Freedom. I’m pretty sure Freedom Express is double brokering loads using Bull Transportation
Freedom Express Logistics, Inc. MC 643699 Double brokering, holding load hostage
Freedom Express Logistics, Inc. was booked on a load on 02/08/2010 at 10:13AM. We found numerous complaints about Freedom, including reports that it held loads hostage and double brokered. We then informed “Mike Smith,” that is the name the driver gave us, at 10:44 a.m. that he was not authorized to pick up the load. Still, he picked up the load and demanded the total payment up front or he threatened to dump the load. We explained that he was never authorized to have the load, but that we would make the payment when he bumped the dock. This was not acceptable to him. On 2/12/10 we gave Mike Smith the total payment by Tchek and he said he would then deliver immediately. However, 5 hours later he demanded an additional $800 to deliver. We refused to give him the additional $800 amid his constant threats and filed police reports and insurance claims. 5 days after we filed the reports, the truck arrived at the receiver unannounced and delivered the product on 2/16/10 while continuing to demand the $800 through the morning of 2/17. The last conversation with Mike he started laughing and said you will never catch me.

FreightBuzz MC 687561 Double Brokering Passport Freight 442340
MC 687561
Freightbuzz/Y.T.A./Y.T.M. are all the same business and are striclty double brokering freight. They get freight under the name: Freightbuzz through load boards such as: DAT Connect, The Internet Truckstop, etc, and then broker the freight under the YTA/YTM name. They have recently hired a couple drivers (to make it seem as if they are a legit carrier), but don’t be fooled by these middle men trying to make a quick buck. Freightbuzz is formerly known as Passport Freight. If you run reports on Passport, you will see plenty of the double brokering reports on it. Passport Freight’s address is Alik Shrayber’s personal PO Box, while Freightbuzz is actually using its physical address. Don’t be fooled by these people.
D and R Transport MC 691633 Double Brokering | Ukranian Trucking MC 661459 Not a team
MC 691633
Patrick booked a load with us going from CA to OR. It was supposed to be a team load. The driver called in and he drives for Ukranian Trucking MC 661459. Called patrick and he said that Ukranian runs dedicated for him. Called Vlad from Ukranian… told him we dont double broker loads. He said he would do the load straight for us, I said, I thought you haul dedicated for D and R, he said no.
Then his “drivers” call in. One driver called, we asked if the other driver was with him, he said yes, we asked to speak with the other driver, he then said, oh, well he was in the truck stop in the shower. We then said, you both have to arrive at the shipper together, they told us it was not possible… I wonder why… no team
Sargent Trucking 173802 Double Brokering
JOSH AT THE ARKANSAS OFFICE BOOKED LOAD FROM CINCINNATI, OH TO CHEROKEE, NC. WE RECEIVED THE PROOF OF DELIVERY FROM JOSH AND IT WAS OBVIOUSLY ALTERED. THE DRIVER HAD TO MAKE UP HIS OWN BOL, BUT WHEN JOSH FAXED IT TO US, IT WAS VERY APPARENT THAT HE HAD ALTERED THE CARRIER NAME IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER TO SAY “SARGENT”. I CALLED THE DRIVER TO FIND OUT THE ACTUAL CARRIER NAME AND HE TOLD ME JAMES GATH . WHEN WE CONFRONTED JOSH (AT THE AR OFFICE) ABOUT THIS, HE ADMITTED THEY DO THIS ALL THE TIME. SO WE CALLED CORPORATE AND SPOKE W/ BRUCE. HE GAVE THE SAME RESPONSE AND SAID, “SO?…WHAT’S THE PROBLEM? WE DO THIS ALL THE TIME.” CORPORATE ADMITTING THEY CO-BROKER ALL THE TIME. USE CAUTION AND MAKE SURE IT’S A SARGENT TRUCK BEFORE LOADING.
Is only showing having 4 trucks on safersys, also has only had 1 inspection in the past 24 months!

OUR CREDIT IS JUST FINE ON ITS OUR SCORE IS 82 AND IS CONSIDERED LOW RISK W/36 DAY PAY. I OFFERED HIM OUR QUICK PAY OR 40% ADVANCE PAY HE REFUSED. I TOLD HIM THAT WE COULD NOT PAY ANYONE THE FULL AMT WITHOUT A CLEAN BOL HE CONTINUED TO REFUSE TO DEL THE LOAD SAYING HE WANTS HIS MONEY PRIOR TO DELY. MY CORP OFFICE APPROVED TO PAY THE 100% UPON HIM DELIVERING THE LOAD AND FAXING A CLEAN POD..HE STILL REFUSES THREATENING TO “DUMP” OUR CARGO IN A WAREHOUSE. I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW ANYONE WITH A FUNCTIONING BRAIN CELL WOULD TURN DOWN TERMS THAT ARE NEVER OFFERED TO ANY OTHER CARRIER IS BEYOND ME. WE HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG. THIS PERSON HAS CALLED BOTH THE CUSTOMER AND THE CONSIGNEE WITH THE EXACT SAME THREATS TO “DUMP” THE FREIGHT. THIS CARRIER SHOULD HAVE THEIR MC REVOKED.
