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.

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.
