Response: Thought this was already taken What Happen
(8/14/2008)
Response: This business is plagued by too many brokers who try to make a quick buck off truckers who try to take jobs they are not equipped to do in the present hard economy. Boat is going to Enseneda, Mexico and being placed on freighter. Too much BS in trucking. Had I received a real bid from a qualified trucking company or a real bid from a boat shipper, without wanting all my money up front, by wire transfer etc., no escrow account, just send money I may have used U-Ship. But to date U Ship has a new name in my book U-Sh**. In previous shipments I have done none have been problem free. (8/14/2008)
Response: Sorry you have had such bad problem with this shipment this also has hurt my business by them absorbing freight , I believe I had warned you. But I hope that you have a great day.An escrow account is always the best way to set things up, yes there should be some honesty money in the front, But I have never heard and honest carrier not want to set up an escrow account after at least 30% down. Sorry again Let me know if you have any further shipping needs I couldn't get my bid in fast enough last time thank you again dale Mignweldfabdelivery (8/14/2008)
