We were Called by the T.H.P. to Impound one of their T/T's Today due to the Driver being arrested for a Weapons Charge & They also put the Trailer out of Service for (2) Rt. Rear Trailer Tires being bad. We Towed the Tractor in and Pulled the Trailer in with our Tractor. The Company Called and Gave authorization to Repair what ever the Trailer Needed to Get it back on the Road Legally as to what put it out of Service by the Highway Patrol. When it came time to Back the Trailer into the Shop to replace the Two Tires - The Rt. Rear Brakes wouldn't Release & you could hear Air Bypassing in the Trailer's Air Tanks. I advised the Driver of this ( After he got Bailed out of Jail ) and he said it takes him @ 5 min. for his tractor to get the Brakes Released & for the Air to build back up. He call's his Company and they call us back Complaining that they WILL NOT Pay for anything other than the Tires - If we Do Any Repairs to the Trailer Brakes...

D&D Drive Away / Canal Insurance

feeds@yuku.com (Centuryonly) — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 15:08:56 PST

D&D Drive Away was passing through our town on I-85. They had a tandem curtain side box with an F-450 in the box while towing another tandem box truck with some jacked up home-made tow bar. The language barrier prevents us from knowing exactly what happened. In a nutshell they hit the brakes, couldn't stop. The front truck broke away from the back truck, flipped over the guardrail and landed on its side with the F-450 hanging out the side of the box. The rear truck jumped the end of the guardrail and "surfed" it for about 100' before stopping just inches before a CSX bridge.

D&D is insured by Canal Insurance. Canal is denying the claim based on the fact that they had the wrong drive away tags on the wrong trucks. That's correct, the tags were current, they had drive away insurance on them but Canal claims the tags "were used improperly". We have requested a written letter of denial twice from Canal and they refuse to provide one....

OOIDA swoops in on Ledar Transport, seizes assets from KC carrier

OOIDA swoops in on Ledar Transport, seizes assets from KC carrier

In December, 2004, OOIDA was granted a complete victory in its class action suit against Ledar Transport and its subsidiary, Hawthorn Leasing.

The case centered on numerous violations of the federal truth-in-leasing regulations and failure to include certain required provisions in their lease agreements. Of particular importance in the case was that the claims were not only against two companies, but also against the companies' three corporate officers, Carl, Norma and Scott Higgs.

OOIDA argued that because of the way the Higgses both dominated and ignored the corporate structure legal requirements, and worked together to do so, the three were individually liable for Ledar's violations of the truth-in-leasing regulations.

In one of the most important decisions OOIDA has obtained in its pursuit of unscrupulous...

feeds@yuku.com (bigberthastowing) — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 12:18:25 PST

Advise to take calls for credit card only. Very tough to get them to pay. They promise and nothing comes of it. The following letter produced results:

claiborn heavy hauling

feeds@yuku.com (towman26) — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 18:52:33 PST

Claiborn Heavy Hauling out of Knoxville Tennesee has a bad habit of reguesting services & then refuse to pay for it. We are in the process of taking them to court after we did a tow to the dealer & the dealer was closed, so we dropped the unit & they had said they were not able to get the comcheck numbers cause they were not at a computer. We called back in the am & they are playing games saying they didnt call, & then the owner said the bill was to high, which was 860.00. They also say they are a towing company but I cant find anything saying that

T-Link Trucking.BAD BAD BAD

feeds@yuku.com (HvywreckerW900) — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 20:17:11 PST

If you get a T-Link Trucking on the hook keep it there unitl you have a good credit card or comcheck. or if you have a choice leave it on the side of the road. We did a recovery for them here and they refuse to pay. And the sad thing is they are local from Tonawanda Ny. But truck may have differnt location on it. They even went as far as saying they never autorized the recovery!!!! What a bunch of scum bags.

North American Fleet Services AKA North American Van Lines

feeds@yuku.com (katatreds) — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 17:29:35 PST

These people have owed us a few thousand for about a year. Finally with some saavy internet snooping we discovered that they sold a few years back to American Van Lines. NAVL refused to pay the old debt, the "new" company in place of NAFS says that they are no longer affiliated.
