Take this load and.....

I read a posting from FlameMerc about a shipment that was almost refused due to lack of unloading equipment. What do you do if a load can't be delivered due to fire, labor strike, the receiver going belly up while you are under load, etc.?:+ :+

Welcome Back: The problem belongs to the carrier that contracted you to deliver the load. If, through no fault on your part, the freight is not deliverable, consignee refuses to accept, or the consignee has no money to pay a COD shipment, the monkey is placed squarely on the shoulders of the carrier. At this point you should not take the freight to an alternate location until your compensation issues are resolved.

If you are operating totally independent you should call your shipper and explain the situation and ask for guidance. If you are running for a carrier call them ,tell them the situation and let them work it out.Thats what they get paid for,make sure if you are going to have to wait for several hours that detention charges will be paid.
