Our team is versed in the trucking industry specific rules concerning the collection of motor carrier freight charges in federal, state and bankruptcy courts. This includes the specific issue relating to the "double payment" rule, when a freight broker becomes insolvent. Members of our team have achieved a victory in an appeal for collection of freight charges against a government agency. We also regularly represent and advise clients dealing with shippers, brokers or other parties who have filed bankruptcy in defending preference claims, negotiating critical vendor terms and pursuing priority status for claims when monies should be held in trust by brokers or interline carriers on behalf of motor carriers.
