A member company recently had a full truckload of lading being held “hostage” by a small trucking company. Unknown to the trucking company, this load had four freight brokers involved prior to his accepting and getting loaded. By Agreement/contract, multiple brokers are not allowed on our loads. The problem was already 5 days old by the time I received notice of the situation. I immediately contacted the Midwest Cargo Security Council for assistance. With their immediate assistance, the carrier holding our load “hostage” agreed to allow the load to be transferred to another trucking company to facilitate the return of the lading to the shipping location. Thanks to the MWCSC help brought this incident to a speedy conclusion! Thank you again, as I couldn’t have resolved this “hostage” situation without your assistance. It is an honor to be a member of the Midwest Cargo Security Council.
