I wanted to pick up my vehicle in 2 to 3 days, the sales rep promised their maximum turnaround time is 48 hrs. I called them continuously every day after I signed the contract they never replied me for my calls, once when he picked up the phone on 3rd day he wanted me to increase the quote, he got mad since I didn't want to increase my quote and kept the phone down. And that's it no calls for another 3 days.. so I went ahead and booked with another shipper after waiting for 8 days.
On 9th days I got a call from the sales rep and said he might have a driver but I have to increase my quote, I told him I booked from another company and cancel the quote, he got mad and put the phone down. I got a call from another gentleman from the same company saying sir you have to pay $150 since you cancelled the contract, after explaining the whole story the person didn't understand anything and they charged me $150 FOR DOING NOTHING BUT WASTING MY TIME.
PLEASE DON’T GET CAUGHT BY THEIR WORDS BEFORE YOU SIGN THE CONTRACT!

Here at Lightning Auto Carriers we enter into a contract for a reason. The definition of a contract is: an agreement with specific terms between two or more persons or entities.. Now in the contract the customer Mr.Rengaswamy entered into "the pick your own price program" witch is a program where we let the customer list the vehicle for a price that is not unrealistic but below what other units are shipping for. The purpose for listing a unit at a cheap rate is to try and get a driver that has a spot open to fill and will take the load for the listed price. Records show that 50% of the time we are successful in getting the vehicle shipped for at least 25% cheaper then what comparable units are shipping for. In this specific contract we are allowed up to 10 business days to render service under this program. The original price quote I gave was for $775.00 witch would be $625 to the driver. At the original price quoted the probability of getting a driver within 24-48 hrs is very high. This is what I had explained to the customer Mr.Rengaswamy wanted to try a total price of $625 witch is $475 to the driver. I followed up with the customer once a day explaining to him that it was not shipping. On 11/4 I had a driver call on the load for $725 witch would be $575 to the driver and $150 to us the broker. He declined and then on the 7th I called to follow up and he had booked the transport with another broker. Now we had done a good amount of dispatch work for the customer and still had sufficient time to move it. The custumer cancelled 5 business days after booking the transport not allowing Lightning Auto Carrier to successfully render the service. If you look at what I do for customers, take a look at my feedback. Thanks I hope everyone can understand.
