The broker said this kind of practice is becoming more and more common, that is why the have a drivers license check at the yard before anything gets picked up in their name.
Too bad, I wonder how the truckers get away with this fraud?
When did this happen to you?
Awesome update:
The truck was picked up and is on it's way.
Wow, the agency/broker did finally come through. Also, they shared the background story a bit. Apparently they had assigned the haul to a fraudulent driver, who "double brokered".\ and was going to charge a full load instead of a...
We'll, here we go. Got this email from GP this morning. I've been told, and some of your habe suggested to call them and figure things out. My broker still hasn't been able to fill the trip. FRUSTRATING

This is a reminder notice. Our records indicate that, at the date and time of this...
Definitely annoying.
Man, I hope I don't have to wait 16 days. This company also told me (on the low-down) they don't charge storage. Probably a scare tactic IMO. It would be my luck they'd start and I'd run up a tab of a few hundred $$$...
The company is a top provider through GP, but I hired them outside of Veritread. They're reputable, or so I think. The route is hard to fill, I get that, but I would just like to have the truck here...
If AWOL went through similar, I should be ok too. Probably average in that industry, and I am...
Yea, the terms are the generic ones, 8 days blah blah.
The pickup hasn't been scheduled yet, the item was released last Monday and I sent the release info last Wednesday. It's getting down to the wire.
The storage charges are $25 per extra day. But if I have to look for another hauler, it may...
Hey all,
I was wondering who has had storage charges from the GP yard, and at what point did they start?
My shipping company is slooooooowwwwww and I am afraid they may start charging me soon... Bummer.
Thanks in advance.

Yea, I fugured that will be the case. The company is just a third party agency, they will ire the transport out. As long as the truck and parts get here, (sometime this century would be nice), I'd be happy.
Thanks Frau Hansen,
as tempting as it is, I'd follow Mogman's and others advice to complete a full PM check before... Just because you don't know how the truck was treated in the last year.
But I understand your meaning, that roadtrip would be fantastic. 950 miles, 3 days, nothing but fun and...
Shouldn't have to, right, but my guess is it will happen much more often than not that it's left back there. Plus there is no cover over the cab, so I hope I can convince the driver to secure the stuff somewhere. Let's see
Unfortunately, I think you are going to be right... As far as I know it's not picked up, yet, so I may have a chance to get them to secure all that. fingers crossed
Oh wow, I had no idea. Thanks!!!!
IF the parts arrive with the truck I will have an extra tube and doghouse cover for trade/sale/pay it forward. Good to know.
Thanks!

One of the pics from GP shows some extra parts in the back of my M1123. I know the door and doghouse cover, but no idea what the third part in the picture could be. Something fording?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
