Baxter, Bailey, and Associates is a dedicated collection agency that focuses solely on the transportation industry. Our primary goal is to assist carriers in recovering outstanding freight invoices. Over the years, we have successfully aided more than 23,000 carriers who have completed their deliveries but have not received payment. By consolidating claims against the same debtor or related third parties, we often establish leverage that would be difficult for an individual carrier to achieve on their own.
It is essential to contact us immediately upon noticing any discrepancies, whether you are facing a broker who is simply delayed in their payments, one who has no intention of fulfilling their obligations, or an individual acting on behalf of another company. If you have any questions or concerns regarding a company or its circumstances, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are always prepared to help you evaluate the situation. We address a variety of transportation collection challenges, including brokers who vanish, companies that shut down, allegations of fraud, and shippers who refuse to compensate carriers.
As fuel prices continue to fluctuate significantly, instances of fraud within the transportation sector tend to increase correspondingly. This situation underscores the necessity for carriers to meticulously verify all details prior to consenting to accept a load. A vital aspect to scrutinize is the current status of a broker's bond, particularly in light of the recent modifications implemented by the FMCSA regarding approved BMC-85 trust providers. These changes have already impacted the operational authority of numerous freight brokers.
Carriers throughout the industry are facing a challenging reality: when a freight broker shuts down, the outstanding debt often surpasses the value of the broker's bond—sometimes by a factor of ten or even twenty. Unfortunately, simply filing a claim against the bond rarely provides full compensation to carriers. In many cases, the recovery amounts to only a small percentage of the total debt owed. Over the past five months, we have noted that bond payouts have averaged less than ten cents on the dollar, with some claims resulting in as little as five cents.
