Watch the Episode on Freight360 →

If you’ve ever hauled a load and not been paid, this one’s for you. I joined the team at Freight360 to break down one of the biggest questions in freight collections: Who’s actually liable when the broker doesn’t pay the carrier?

This episode covers the legal side of freight recovery — what the law says, what the courts are doing, and how to protect your business when freight charges go unpaid. Whether you’re a motor carrier, broker, shipper, or transportation attorney, you’ll walk away with real-world steps to strengthen your carrier payment rights.

We dig into:

  • Shipper and consignee liability and why it matters more than most realize.
  • How to structure bills of lading and rate confirmations to secure your freight charge recovery.
  • What to do when a broker defaults — including pursuing shipper and consignee liability.
  • Practical, field-tested strategies to keep cash flow steady and avoid getting caught in double payment disputes.

Freight360 makes complex issues clear, and I enjoyed sharing what I’ve learned from years of recovering unpaid freight charges across the country.
