Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?

Although we've had zero success using uship to find legal transporters in the past, we recently posted a listing for a shipment from Bullhead, AZ to Bozeman, MT. http://www.uship.com/shipment/26%27-Pro-Line-Boat-on-new-Ez.../813923928/?i=1&p=50&s=236 Even though we've had no past success using uship, we decided to give it another try. The same shipment was listed simultaneously on other boards we use consistently successful results. As per uship's instructions, we requested each bidder provide their US DOT number and MC number for verification in accordance with uship's recommendation. We used the bid details Q & A to make the requests of individual TSPS. A couple TSPs already had their numbers listed in the profile section and those were quite easily verified. Many of the others simply did not respond to our request and their offers were subsequently declined. One particular TSP, BOATHAULINGINC. did reply and provided what appeared to be a legitimate US DOT number and an active MC#. However, the numbers crossed to another company in the FMCSA database. Being unsure of the procedure and not sure we weren't doing something wrong, we requested their assistance to determine if we were doing something incorrectly. We were assured (in the bid Q & A) by BOATHAULINGINC. that we were using the verification process correctly and they were affiliated with and had permission to operate under Apache Transport LLC's authority. With the innocent intent of confirming the facts, I contacted the owner of Apache Transport LLC advising them that BOATHAULINGINC had stated they were authorized to operate under Apache Transport LLC's authority. I was told by the owner of Apache Transport LLC that there was no affiliation between the two companies and BOATHAULINGINC. definitely was not authorized to use his company's authority to transport interstate. He advised me that he would contact uship and the appropriate authorities to ensure corrective action was taken. I ask for and did receive copies of emails sent to uship's Matt, Mickey, and Heather. These emails informed uship of the attempts of fraudulent use of Apache Transport LLC's numbers and demanded immediate contact information so Apache Transport LLC could pursue legal action and report the offender, BOATHAULINGINC. to the appropriate authorities. I have no futher documentation of whether uship cooperated in any effort to report to the legal authorities or not. However in subsequent emails and phone conversations with the owner of Apache Transport LLC, I was told that uship had responded by saying they would only provide that information to law enforcement authorities making the request. To me that seems quite assinine since that makes uship an obstacle by not providing the information. How can a company report illegal use when uship denies their access to the alledged offender's identity and contact information? So rather than be constructive and assisting in the investigation of these reported offenses of illegal use of another company's authority, uship becomes an impediment. Today I checked the profile of BOATHAULINGINC. and it is still displayed as an active TSP. I'm certainly no legal expert, but it would seem to me that at a minimum uship would suspend BOATHAULINGINC. and prohibit them from participation until an investigation was completed. The documentation is obviously there and uship is in receipt of the complaint from Apache Transport LLC and has access to verify the legitimacy of that company. This will certainly be our last attempt to use uship services and uship may feel free to remove our account completely. We choose not to do business with a company so obviously void of ethics and apparently more inclined to be an obstruction to justice than one of honor. We also prefer not to be insulted by BOATHAULINGINC.'s false accusations of dishonesty on our part when it is obvious and documented that they are a fradulent company operating illegally. Uship still allowed this to happen and has taken no apparent action. It would appear that uship condones this kind of conduct since they have demonstrated no visible effort to intervene or investigate BOATHAULINGINC. nor assist an honest and honorable company's (Apache Transport LLC) effort to clear their name and publisize the fact that they have no affiliation with BOATHAULINGINC. Below are the details of the bid Q & A including BOATHAULINGINC.'s final insult and denial. They were caught, it was documented in BOATHAULINGINC.'s own responses and the legitimate company's complaint, still uship takes no action to preclude it from being repeated by the same TSP. http://www.uship.com/popups/bid_details.aspx?ID=1270039 Shipment Title: 26' Pro-Line Boat on new Ezze load trailer Service Provider: boathaulinginc (0) Timeframe: Service Provider is flexible on pickup dates.

Questions for this bid:Click below to report a uShip Rules violation Date Asked Shipper Question Answer 9/7/2008 Jroy96 (0) Thank you again for your interest and offer of service. The lowest bid is not necessarily the determining factor in this selection. I do appreciate your experience in the industry and we will consider your offer and terms. We require valid motor carrier authority is for our insurance purposes. Please reply with your assigned motor carrier authority number (MC#) for further consideration for selection. Thank you for your interest in our bid. Our numbers are DOT#1256358/MC#492537. We look forward to hearing from you soon. 9/7/2008 Jroy96 (0) Thank you for the response and for providing your DOT & MC numbers. We'll be making the selection within the next couple of days. Based on your expereience stated, your offer will receive serious consideration. We appreciate your consideration and look forward to hearing from you and form a working relationship. Thank you 9/7/2008 Jroy96 (0) 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. 9/8/2008 Jroy96 (0) 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! 9/8/2008 Jroy96 (0) 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! Owner op anytown, Connecticut

Uship has gone well over the line this time. Matt thinks he is slick but I am quite certain that there is a group of us that is going to bring his enterprise down. He is on a sinking ship and does not even realize it. The uship payments was the last straw for many of us providers. U-Ships fee's are off the charts! I can say one thing positive about belonging to U-Ship: I did aquire many of loyal customers who call me directly now instead of using U-Ships ponzi-scheme... Many Thanks U-Ship. I will still be in business long after you are bankrupt and sitting in prison.

The truth about BOAT HAULING INC

#6Author of original report

Thu, October 09, 2008

While it is true that I, as the owner of SEMO Motor Transport Service, became involved in the verification and investigation of Boat Hauling Inc. as a result of my daughter posting a boat on uShip, seeking a legitimate carrier to transport the boat. It was at the request of my daughter I verify all prospective offers and their legal credentials. She is well aware that I'm quite knowledgeable of the transportation industry from many years experience as a government logistics and transportation program manager, a motor carrier company owner, and a transportation industry consultant. Additionally, she knows that I am quite knowledgeable of the FMCSA regulations. So it was only natural she would turn to me for assistance and advice. While it also true that I'm a registered Transportation Service Provider on uShip, it is obvious I'm no longer actively transporting for hire nor utilizing uShip to obtain loads or shipments. My inactivity is further demonstrated by deactivation of my motor carrier authority and zero matches or bookings uShip for approximately one year. When Boat Hauling Inc. initially responded on uShip and submitted a legal carrier's credential as their own, I verified they were illegally and falsely claiming an affiliation with that carrier. Boat Hauling Inc. responded by saying it was a simple miscommunication and accused me of being a dishonest person. The so called miscommunication claim was quickly dispelled and proven to be a false claim by statements and actions from the owner of the legitimate motor carrier company. One of their inflammatory and accusatory statements to my daughter's listing is presented immediately below. Boat Hauling Inc. wrote.. 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! Boat Hauling Inc. precipitated the investigation with their offensive lies, false accusations, threats, and other false allegations. My objective is to close it by revealing and exposing to the public, factual evidence of Boat Hauling Inc. lies and dishonest behavior. My fervent hope is that it will result in legal prosecution and punishment of the owners of Boat Hauling Inc. ***** Now let's take apart Boat Hauling Inc. lies, false statements, and inaccurate information from their post above and some from the email at the bottom. all presented by the person claiming to be owner of Boat Hauling Inc. That is done by first presenting quoted statements made by Boat Hauling Inc. followed by the real truth and facts. Statement (1). He also neglects to write that he has sent me threatening emails (how he received my email address is still beyond me.) Here is part of an email he sent to me: TRUTH (1).THE STATEMENT ABOVE IS TOTALLY FALSE. THE FIRST EMAIL EXCHANGE WAS INTITIATED BY THE PERSON CLAIMING TO BE THE OWNER OF BOAT HAULERS INC UNDER THE NAME OF Angela Kay Saueraka Angie Sauer..aka Angie Barrone.aka Angela Householder.aka Angela Kay Barrone. How or where she obtained my email address is unimportant, however her false claim that I started it by sending her threatening emails is a complete lie. The first email exchange is presented below and it clearly is a threatening email from Angela (claiming to be Angela Sauer) at that time. I especially enjoyed Angela's statement saying Statement (2). You have no idea who you are dealing with. TRUTH (2)..WRONG AGAIN.Because indeed I do know who I'm dealing with and who she (Angela) was, and now claim's to be. The facts are that she is Angela Kay Barrone, the wife of Todd Bentley Barrone, a purportedly ordained minister and registered owner of True Faith Ministries (a Nevada based wedding mill) and Grail Enterprises (another Nevada based company) associated directly with True Faith Ministries. This is all a matter of public record. I obtained documented proof of her (Angela Householder) marriage to Todd Barrone from Nevada state marriage records. Her given name at the time of the marriage was Angela Householder. She was Angela Sauer prior to that. That fact is also substantiated by conversations with her blood relatives, and again, documented proof was obtained from various sources of public information including Angela's family tree, her immediate family's own website, and Missouri & Nevada state records. Indisputable evidence that she and/or Todd Barrone are the registered owners of both Red Sea Solutions and The Wize Guyz (also used as multiple IDs on uShip along with Boat Hauling INC.) is recorded in the Missouri registration of fictitious names for company DBAs conducting business as Missouri based companies. Those are the two companies that she vehemently denies any knowledge of or relationship to; in the email below..Missouri Secretary of State records unequivocally dispute her claim and absolutely proves her statement is a lie. (3). There was a miscommunication as far as Apache Transport which has since been straightened out as I stated it would in my communication. TRUTH (3) AGAIN.A TOTAL LIE STATING THERE WAS A MISCOMMUNICATION AS FAR AS APACHE TRANSPORT AND THE FALSE CLAIM OF BOAT HAULING INC'S AFFILIATION WITH APACHE TRANSPORT. Immediately after Boat Hauling Inc. posted that false claim in the uShip Q & A, I contacted the owner (Mr. Kroniak) of Apache Transport. The owner stated emphatically there was no affiliation between his company and Boat Hauling Inc. THERE WAS NO MISCOMMUNICATIONAt that point, Boat Hauling Inc. was caught red handed attempting to use a legal motor carrier's credentials without permission and now was attempting to cover it up presumably to remain active on uShip. Subsequently, the real owner of those credentials contacted uShip with the factsBoat Hauling INC. was not authorized to use Apache Transport's carrier authority. I have emails from both the real owner of Apache Transport and uShip management that substantiates those facts. The result is that Boat Hauling Inc. is now suspended from uShip. Boat Hauling Inc. http://www.uship.com/profile/boathaulinginc/ Red Sea Solutions (aka Wize Guyz) profile remains on uShip and all activity is closely monitored by Stop Illegal Truckers and other Consumer Advocate groups. Statement (4). That being said, if you send me any more threatening emails or post any more false information about me or my company, Boat Hauling INC. I will seek legal action against you for: Harrassment Deflammation of Character Verbal Assault TRUTH (4).NOW THIS I DO NOT CLAIM TO BE A FALSE STATEMENT, JUST AN EMPTY AND BASELESS THREAT. Documented facts substantiate every comment I've made. This is one threat I'd really like to see her (or him) pursue. I have more than sufficient documented factual information to prove she is a liar and attempted to illegally use another carrier's credentials. The only reason I have not filed civil action against Angela and Todd Barrone is that they don't have any assets. I have documentation of their pathetic financial situation from records where they sold their house in Las Vegasand for a substantial loss according to public records. Additionally, I have proof of creditors attempting to collect debts owed by them. And lastly, their desperate and unsuccessful attempts to establish marginally legitimate businesses, mostly involved with near scams. My objective now is to continue to collect documentation to assist the appropriate authorities to seek criminal charges against both Angela K. and Todd B. Barrone. To this end, I will continue to work with law enforcement and other organizations including consumer advocate groups. Statement (5). I feel the only reason that you are emailing this nasty and distasteful (not to mention defammatory)garbage to me is that you are obviously extremely upset by your current financial hardships due to the economy. I suggest you seek help for your obvious anger issues. TRUTH (5)FIRST OF ALL, I COULDN'T CARE LESS WHAT SHE (OR HE) FEELS.I would further doubt she (or he) has any knowledge of my personal current financial hardships since, unlike them, I have none. I can assure them that I have ample financial resources to be comfortable and adequate resources and influential contacts to continue to pursue justice. My hope is that it results in appropriate punishment for them, as determined by a court of law. I also could not care less about their concern about alleged obvious anger issues. The truth is that it does anger me when I observe unethical, immoral, and dishonest scum, with their shady schemes and scams, trying to take advantage of honest and innocent people. I don't need help with it since it isn't a problem.I simply turn it into determination to seek justice. Statement (6) My name is Angela Sauer, I am the owner of Boat Hauling INC. I do not have any affiliation with any of the companies that you have named here in your email. I do have a working relationship with Apache Transport. I am sorry that you feel that you are above the reaches of human nature, however, this was nothing more then a mis communication gone too far. TRUTH (6) THAT'S A LIE.You are Angela Barrone..married to Todd Barrone. Your names appear as owners/officers of both those companies you claim no affiliation with or knowledge about. You do NOT have a working relationship with Apache Transport and the owner denies your affiliation and claim to be authorized to operate under his motor carrier authority. There was no miscommunication, stating that was only a desperate attempt on your part to prevent uShip from suspending you from the website. You were caught and that didn't work either.

Indisputable evidence that she and/or Todd Barrone are the registered owners of both Red Sea Solutions and The Wize Guyz (also used as multiple IDs on uShip along with Boat Hauling INC.) is recorded in the Missouri registration of fictitious names for company DBAs conducting business as Missouri based companies.

The owner stated emphatically there was no affiliation between his company and Boat Hauling Inc. THERE WAS NO MISCOMMUNICATIONAt that point, Boat Hauling Inc. was caught red handed attempting to use a legal motor carrier's credentials without permission and now was attempting to cover it up presumably to remain active on uShip. Subsequently, the real owner of those credentials contacted uShip with the factsBoat Hauling INC. was not authorized to use Apache Transport's carrier authority. I have emails from both the real owner of Apache Transport and uShip management that substantiates those facts. The result is that Boat Hauling Inc. is now suspended from uShip.

I have more than sufficient documented factual information to prove she is a liar and attempted to illegally use another carrier's credentials.

My hope is that it results in appropriate punishment for them, as determined by a court of law. I also could not care less about their concern about alleged obvious anger issues.

The truth about BOAT HAULING INC

#9Author of original report

Thu, October 09, 2008

While it is true that I, as the owner of SEMO Motor Transport Service, became involved in the verification and investigation of Boat Hauling Inc. as a result of my daughter posting a boat on uShip, seeking a legitimate carrier to transport the boat. It was at the request of my daughter I verify all prospective offers and their legal credentials. She is well aware that I'm quite knowledgeable of the transportation industry from many years experience as a government logistics and transportation program manager, a motor carrier company owner, and a transportation industry consultant. Additionally, she knows that I am quite knowledgeable of the FMCSA regulations. So it was only natural she would turn to me for assistance and advice. While it also true that I'm a registered Transportation Service Provider on uShip, it is obvious I'm no longer actively transporting for hire nor utilizing uShip to obtain loads or shipments. My inactivity is further demonstrated by deactivation of my motor carrier authority and zero matches or bookings uShip for approximately one year. When Boat Hauling Inc. initially responded on uShip and submitted a legal carrier's credential as their own, I verified they were illegally and falsely claiming an affiliation with that carrier. Boat Hauling Inc. responded by saying it was a simple miscommunication and accused me of being a dishonest person. The so called miscommunication claim was quickly dispelled and proven to be a false claim by statements and actions from the owner of the legitimate motor carrier company. One of their inflammatory and accusatory statements to my daughter's listing is presented immediately below. Boat Hauling Inc. wrote.. 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! Boat Hauling Inc. precipitated the investigation with their offensive lies, false accusations, threats, and other false allegations. My objective is to close it by revealing and exposing to the public, factual evidence of Boat Hauling Inc. lies and dishonest behavior. My fervent hope is that it will result in legal prosecution and punishment of the owners of Boat Hauling Inc. ***** Now let's take apart Boat Hauling Inc. lies, false statements, and inaccurate information from their post above and some from the email at the bottom. all presented by the person claiming to be owner of Boat Hauling Inc. That is done by first presenting quoted statements made by Boat Hauling Inc. followed by the real truth and facts. Statement (1). He also neglects to write that he has sent me threatening emails (how he received my email address is still beyond me.) Here is part of an email he sent to me: TRUTH (1).THE STATEMENT ABOVE IS TOTALLY FALSE. THE FIRST EMAIL EXCHANGE WAS INTITIATED BY THE PERSON CLAIMING TO BE THE OWNER OF BOAT HAULERS INC UNDER THE NAME OF Angela Kay Saueraka Angie Sauer..aka Angie Barrone.aka Angela Householder.aka Angela Kay Barrone. How or where she obtained my email address is unimportant, however her false claim that I started it by sending her threatening emails is a complete lie. The first email exchange is presented below and it clearly is a threatening email from Angela (claiming to be Angela Sauer) at that time. I especially enjoyed Angela's statement saying Statement (2). You have no idea who you are dealing with. TRUTH (2)..WRONG AGAIN.Because indeed I do know who I'm dealing with and who she (Angela) was, and now claim's to be. The facts are that she is Angela Kay Barrone, the wife of Todd Bentley Barrone, a purportedly ordained minister and registered owner of True Faith Ministries (a Nevada based wedding mill) and Grail Enterprises (another Nevada based company) associated directly with True Faith Ministries. This is all a matter of public record. I obtained documented proof of her (Angela Householder) marriage to Todd Barrone from Nevada state marriage records. Her given name at the time of the marriage was Angela Householder. She was Angela Sauer prior to that. That fact is also substantiated by conversations with her blood relatives, and again, documented proof was obtained from various sources of public information including Angela's family tree, her immediate family's own website, and Missouri & Nevada state records. Indisputable evidence that she and/or Todd Barrone are the registered owners of both Red Sea Solutions and The Wize Guyz (also used as multiple IDs on uShip along with Boat Hauling INC.) is recorded in the Missouri registration of fictitious names for company DBAs conducting business as Missouri based companies.

In response to this "complaint" While it is titled "uShip" it is aimed toward my company, Boat Hauling Inc. What the author neglects to tell you is that he is a Motor Carrier on uShip. That his daughter is the one that posted a boat to be transported. He also neglects to write that he has sent me threatening emails (how he received my email address is still beyond me.) Here is part of an email he sent to me: I've also taken the liberty of forwarding the documented details to the Head of Missouri Motor Carrier Enforcement office and an organization "Stop Illegal Truckers" which is a Missouri based organization aligned with the Missouri State Highway Patrol and chartered to report and support prosecution of illegal haulers. Should I find any evidence of your continued effort to transport without the appropriate authority, including if your profile continues to be active on uShip, I'll assist in initiating further legal action including criminal charges of attempted internet fraud. There was a miscommunication as far as Apache Transport which has since been straightened out as I stated it would in my communication. Now as far as uShip, while it is a chore to find a legal carrier, it is possible. There are several legal carriers it is just a matter of doing your research. As for: SEMO Transport Service (Author of this article) The only thing I can say about this person is that he has misrepresented himself here, as he did on uship through his daughter's listing. He has not done his research as he is under the impression that we are affiliated with a company in Missouri, while we are based in Nevada. While I wish this person the best of luck, I sincerly hope that he verifies information in the future before making himself look like a complete idiott. While these are terribly financially distressing times for our industry, it is no fun for anyone to be this unnecessarily vicious and dishonest. Thank You, Owner of Boat Hauling Inc.
