What went poorly?
  • 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.
