BAKER TRUCK BROKERAGE, INC. Joe Baker is telling lies and not paying $149290.00 to our company for the freight we hauled for him. Salinas, California
My compnay Intrade Industries Inc is huling freight for him for more than 5 years. He just stop paying during the month of June 2012. Then Joe Baker promised to send one check every week for one load. He backed out from his promise and we are not getting any check for last few weeks. He still owes us $149200.00. The funny thing of transportation industy is that broker have a bond of only $10000, which is equal to the price of one or two prouduce loads. So I strongly favour the upcoming law of having bond of $100000.00.
He has cancelled the bond in May 2012 and got a new surety bond with another company in June 2012. Broker should not be allowed to get new bond untill they clear non payment related to new bond. How easy it is, "get a bond of $10000.00, hold payment of carriers for more than 200000.00 (two hundred thousand), cancel that bond at any time and get a new one with another bond company and start ripping off some other trucking compnies."

I don't have to much good to say about them, but I would have to disagree with the amount for the Bond.
I won't mention any names here, but the bigger brokers would love nothing more than to push the little guys out just do to the fact that they can't afford 100 grand for a bond. It is the bigger brokers that can afford it that have the lowest rates, not to mention the big trucking companies that also broker freight. Also the bigger companies have not survived so long because they are honest
If we force all the little guys out, we are going to have a Wal-Mart style truckin.
