Ripped-off truckers going for brokers
BRAMPTON, Ont. -- Last year alone, Randeep Sandhu lost more than $100,000 to sleazy load brokers. He says he has had it up to here and is not going to tolerate it anymore.
Sandhu is the boss at Load Solutions Inc., a general-freight carrier operating out of the south central Ontario town of Puslinch.
Last Friday, he and about 70 others presented Federal Transportation and Infrastructure Minister John Baird with a petition asking that the federal government "enact legislation that would require load brokers to be licensed by the government and require that all licensed load brokers be bonded to ensure that businesses are compensated for any losses that occur as a result of unscrupulous load brokers."
