Perhaps I'm doing something wrong and you can help me get it right. When I use the uShip procedures to verify your DOT and MC numbers, it comes up as Apache Transport LLC, not Hauling Boats inc. Is that your company too or do you just have permission from Apache to use their numbers for interstate transport? Any help or information you can provide will be appreciated.
|
You are not doing anything wrong. We are an associate of Apache Transport and run under their authority. Thank you very much.

Thank you again. I talked, by phone, with the owner of Apache Transport LLC last evening. He stated that he had no knowledge of your company and you were not authorized to submit or use the motor transport authority (DOT#1256358/MC#492537) you submitted representing them as yours. He emphatically stated there is no affiliation between Apache Transport LLC and any company DBA "Boat Hauling inc. He also advised that he would be reporting the fraudulent use to state and federal authorities today. He further stated he would be contacting uShip to report the incident and he will be filing complaints of internet fraud to federal government's Internet Fraud Complaint Centers, i.e. IFCC, IC3 and FTC, in addition to seeking supoenas for your personal contact information from uShip.com to further both criminal investigation and civil actions.

I will call Doc and get this straightened out. Thank you!

Sir, As I stated, I will call Doc and get this straightened out with him. I know him well and I know that he did not and would not say everything that you are claiming. I would also like to say that I am withdrawing my bid for your transport due to the fact that you have 1) violated uShip rules by contacting outside of uShip and 2) I refuse to deal with dishonest people that and if you are going to violate uShip rules and then lie about what was said then you are obviously a dishonest person. Have a good day!
