    Latest Brokers not Paying.

    YES - he owes me money YES - his phone is disconnected YES - his broker licence has been revoked since 01/20/15 YES - he continued to post loads as if he was still a broker YES - he lied about sending payment to "wrong address" So who's the "respected member of the forum"? And what makes you...

    What happened to Eclipse Expediting?

    Understood. I appreciate the expert's input and I hope he's on your payroll :) Or should I get ready for the invoice? So in theory, a broker who really cares, who does not want to be dragged into lawsuits and who does right by the shippers and right by the carriers, would only work with...

    What happened to Eclipse Expediting?

    I think there is a misunderstanding. I am not trying to cheat, exactly the opposite. You all said it was too expensive for carriers to add correct coverage for ICs. And all I said was I have an April 2015 quote for $325/IC. If that IC has on his own correct coverge as requested 1M, what is the...

    So John, under the above setup, if I require the IC to have the 1M liability, do you still see an issue?

    The bobtail portion of the insurance comes into play only if the liability insurance is provided ONLY by the MC, like in the cases of leased units to Panther or Fedex (exclusive use). Bobtail insures that when a unit not in service gets into an accident, the MC's insurance does not dinged. In...

This would protect XXX in the event one of the IC’s got...

    What happened to Eclipse Expediting?

    Quick question. We are one of those carriers that try to do everything legal. Oh my God how complicated that is... BUT coming back to the topic at hand... We currently have only scheduled vehicles on the policy, all company owned. I asked my insurance agent what would we need to do to work with...

    Workers' Compensation

    I am a little puzzled about this subject so I am looking for the input of other carriers, small or large, or even O/O. I do not believe, but please prove me wrong, that any carrier out there is providing workers' compensation for their drivers. The cost of WC for trucking industry is anywhere...

    The New Norm?!

    My belief at this time is that money is stuck with the brokers so I can make a conscience decision not to work with the ones changing their payment terms like this all of a sudden. Of course that is because I do have a multitude of brokers that do pay on time, so I can afford to lose one. And...

    The New Norm?!

    Well... had to google this one and I am not a born American, neither was I on this earth in the 60s. I wasn't planning on lying and I definitely do not smell bad :rolleyes:. And I'm 99.99% sure this forum couldn't take a broker out of business. I'd like to believe this is not the norm and that...

    The New Norm?!

    Any reason why the name cannot be published? It's not like they are being bad-mouthed or anything... they announced the change on their own.
