- Double Brokering
On 03/14 three shipments were quoted/awarded to Trans American Trucking Service. After several hours of awaiting return of BCA (assuming all clauses were observed and accepted) three rate tenders were issued. Trans American would not return signed confirmations or provide driver information. Upon further investigation, three identical shipments were discovered posted on DAT by their brokerage to phone # 800-526-7596 with a rate similar to the agreed upon. At no point was a co-broker agreement put in place or notice received that the did not intend to utilize assets until further investigation was performed.

Carrier is great! Run containers out of the terminals and then do multi pick and drops for the goods. Drivers have patience of a saint and they are always so easy to work with. Love this Company and highly recommend!

We have only worked with team a few times in the past and it was average at best. This load in question the driver arrived on time for pickup and late for delivery, with no real reason. This was a few few years back and things could have changed since.
