      We at Smokey Point Distributing had several individual agreements with written documentation for 8 loads. CDL 1000 did not hold up their side of the agreement. We have attempted at least 20 times to contact them. They do not respond to emails, phone messages or info submitted through their website contact page.

      Complaint: 21552472

      I am rejecting this response because:  We have been working on this collection for a very long time, with multiple notes to BBB.  Each time the response from the business is that a payment plan is in place - and then NO ACTION, NO RESPONSE.  In reading multiple complaints for this business on BBB, it seems to be the same story for others.  CDL 1000 continues to ignore their financial obligations, ignore requests for resolution, ignore emails, calls, etc. and yet they enjoy the A+ rating - that rating/story doesn't fit the facts.  I hope the message "DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH CDL 1000" reaches more people.  You will not get paid.

      Sincerely,

      *******************

      Complaint: 21552472

      I am rejecting this response because:  We have submitted the invoices and supporting information numerous times to this exact email address.  We have followed up with requests for payment status and communication to this same email address.  We get NO response.  I forwarded all the invoices, POD's and rate confirmations again this morning as requested in their response to this complaint.  Printed copies were also sent to their office through **** with tracking two weeks ago.  

      Their response to "send the invoices, we will pay" has been a part of almost every complaint filed through BBB.  CDL 1000 still doesn't pay - just doesn't like the complaints.  

      Sincerely,

      We booked two loads with this broker (march 2023), provided flawless service, clean PODs, and invoiced within the requested time window for QP. After 10 months of asking for payment, emailing, and calling, the company keeps providing delays, excuses or not answering. The business owner (******?), manager, or supervisor are not available to speak with. Noone ever calls back. Accounting stopped answering phone calls. This is a very unprofessional business practice. They owe us money and many other carriers as well. They keep looking for carriers to use them as service providers and don't pay.

      We went through their very painful process to get invoiced billed to them as per their specifications, all invoices have been approved but they have a balance over $275k that they have not paid. We will have to proceed with legal action to collect. It is very disappointing to put time and effort into make sure they have everything they need to bill their customer but won't when we had to pay our drivers.

      We have hauled multiple loads for CDL 1000, and all invoices are past due. We have tried to contact their accounting department on multiple occasions, but no one has responded. Their dispatch is best answer is, "I have nothing to do with what is going on". After reviewing many complaints online of nonpayment by this company, we are starting to wonder if this company is willing to pay at all.

      We were contracted by CDL1000 in July till August of 2023 to move ocean containers from the Port of ********* to one of their customers in the region. We delivered 55 loads for them. We have not received any payment from them after repeated attempts. We were told they were having computer software issues, invoices were being processed and payment would be sent. We've sent several aging reports per their request. Nothing but a stall tactic.

      We booked 7 loads with CDL1000 from September ****, 2023. The total for the seven invoices is $3419.50. Today is 11/22/2023 and we still have not received a payment. I specified to the broker that our payment terms were 30 days. The invoices were due in October. I've sent several emails and AP keeps telling me he's working on payment. Is the same answer over and over again. We have reached out many times and are always met with empty promises to pay. They are now ignoring my emails and phone calls. They have our bank information they could pay by ACH.

      I am rejecting this response because:  The invoices were due in October.  The invoices are 30+ days past due.  I've send several emails and their response is ALWAYS we are working on payment.   Today is 11/27/2023 and they still don't have a date when the invoices will be paid.   The message below was sent to me on 10/31/23

      *******,
      We have had some critical priorities in addition to our operating expenses that came in October. I wish I could give you an exact date for payment but we are still in the process of scheduling it.

      Our company, ******** ******************* hauled a load with CDL 1000 on February 23, 2023. I contacted the ** department multiple times and only received an answer twice. The first time they told me that payment would be made in April and the second time, I was told that the company was having financial difficulty, but they would pay our invoice in June. Since then, I have called and emailed multiple times to no avail. I just want them to pay the $1,500 they owe us. I have filed a formal complaint against them with FMCSA and also sent out a Certified letter that was returned to us "Unclaimed" last week. Do not haul with this broker, you won't get paid.
