I called springer trucking to Bring me a load of crusher run gravel. I asked his load size and Shannon, the owner, said he hauls 21.5 tons per load. I asked if he could bring me a load for $500 and he agreed so I told him to bring it and he said he'd be there in the morning at 8:30am on 1-3-24. On 1-3-24 at 8:16 Shannon texted me he was running late it would be 9:30-10 before he arrived. I said 10 works out for me. At 10:06 he text "leaving the shop headed your way". I called Shannon at 11:18 and he said "I've just got loaded at the crusher and was headed my way". Shannon finally arrived at 12:09. I showed him where to dump and he dumped my rock. I immediately noticed it was not 21.5 tons by the size of the pile. I asked Shannon "how many tons is that"? He said 21.5 tons, the same I haul everyday. I asked to see the weight ticket from the quarry so I could be proved wrong on my assumption. Shannon told me he never gets his tickets for weight and he's never had anyone ask for it in 4 years he's been trucking! I asked what quarry he bought the rock from and he told me. I went ahead and paid Shannon $500 cash and he hand wrote me a receipt for a "load" of crusher run without a weight on my receipt and he left my property. I immediately called the scale clerk at the quarry and told the clerk what had happened and the clerk said I just gave shannon a weight ticket and that it's against the law for him to not have a ticket on the weight he is hauling. I called Shannon to inform him he needed to call me to make things right but he had blocked my phone number!! I drove to the quarry and found out he only loaded out with 17 tons of crusher run gravel and that's the tonnage he always hauls!!! I'm sorry this is so long but I wanted to tell the whole story so that nobody else gets scammed by springer trucking. read more
