Complaint Review: Cale Ryan Swanson

Cale Ryan Swanson since about mid-May of this year has used my company information (We are an FMCSA authorized freight broker) over the internet and by phone in order to book loads with shippers and carriers.  He has used the title of managing partner in completing the documents.  He specializes in heavy/super loads from auctions around the country.

Once the shipper agrees to the delivery price of the freight he has the customer wire money into his personal banks (more than one) generally speaking 50% prepick up 50% pre delivery and using my FEIN number to avoid taxes as all shippers will report the monies paid to our company.

The shippers pay him but according to all the complaints levied against our company and our bond company he is not paying the carriers and he has basically "gone underground."  Needless to say he has caused our brokerage business irreparable harm in every way possible, and many carriers feel that we have done them an injustice, which we haven't.

We have recommended that all carriers affected get in contact with their local police departments and file fraud charges against this man.  Our company has been so told by our local law enforcement department and the State Attorney General's office.
