The customer was fully aware of the possible additional charges, they chose to neglect it in the contract until it came to delivery. The broker fee of $170.00 appears in all contracts as an extra as well as other items.
Why blame us for this customers negligence, he even said that our driver did a great job.
The reason for the higher listing on the board is two fold, 1-truckers raise prices in between and the fuel goes up or they decide that they need more money, this is not up to us, paragraph #15 of the contract allows us to raise the price up to 250.00 additional and then email the customer after the car is picked up, which is exactly what was done.
The $170.00 broker fee even appears on this site up at the top.
