Good luck Chris. I totally understand the decision to move somewhere less expensive.

Did Woodhaven pay for the loads already, or does it depens upon delivery? FOB (Free On Board) for the shipper, to be paid by the consignee? COD?FWIW..Id assume u were an independent operator, and u were hauling perishables. Not exactly the same as a large corporation hauling lumber.
All that lumber is worth something. Just wondering who is responsible while it sits.
In my trucking days, I was a day late with a delivery and the receiver refused the load. My broker also refused responsibility and I owned the load, whether I wanted it or not. Luckily, it was a load of Texas strawberries and I managed to sell the entire load, and made a small profit to boot. Otherwise, I bought the load, whether I could sell it or not. I'm just wondering if this is the case with Woodhaven's lumber.
