MC 643699
CARRIER P/U A LOAD FOR ME IN BALDWIN PK, CA TO DELIVER TO PLAINFIELD, CT ON 1/18. LD SCHLD TO DEL ON 1/25. MIKE @ FREEDOM EXP CALLED ME ON 1/22 TO INFORM ME THAT HIS FACTORING CO WOULD NOT BUY OUR BILLS SO HE NEEDED PAYMENT PRIOR TO DELIVERING THE LD. 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.

Neptune Transportation MC 266782
MC # 266782
Yep, its an older MC number… but watch it. They still call on every California load that is posted, in bound or out bond. They cobroker freight, hold loads hostage, what else could you ask for?!?
Out of the 818 area code as well… are we seeing a pattern here??
TIA membership was revoked
GRT TRANSPORT INC MC 672203 & Intermodal USA MC 445798
MC 672203 & MC 445798
Suspicious activity. GRT and Intermodal USA appear to be owned by the same person.
GRT is showing having 15 trucks, but in 24 months has had no inspections whatsoever. In addition it appears they are turning loads over to be railed, through Intermodal USA which has inactive authority.
Be very careful. If you have more information please post it.
