About Lesson
But if you have been in the trucking business long enough, chances are that fraudulent brokers have taken, or at least tried to take, your money.
Imagine you delivered a $5,000 load but the broker you are working with goes dark and won’t pay you. If you don’t know how to deal with it, there’s a slim chance you’ll ever get your money back.
How much time and energy should you invest in chasing the unpaid bill? Could you have seen the red flags before you got this headache? Sure, sometimes the customer is just slow to pay, while other times they may be taking advantage of the fact that you don't have a big office team dedicated to collecting these bills. And still sometimes the broker is a fraud and your money is long gone.
In this lesson, we will shed light on the topic of dishonest freight brokers and give you enough information to stay vigilant, protect your business and have a solid chance of getting your hard-earned money back.
