The Fuentes Firm, P.C. proudly represents motor carriers and transportation companies in Texas when they don’t get paid for the work they do.

Cash flow is vital to sustaining operations and growing a trucking company. Brokers and shippers failing to pay freight charges can cause unwanted headaches and tie up resources that could be put to better use. A common source of unpaid freight charges is due to brokers and shippers going out of business; fortunately, the law provides motor carriers with other avenues to collect freight charges in these situations.

Why Choose Us?

The law provides motor carriers with multiple avenues to collect freight charges.  Carriers can pursue shippers, consignees and owners of cargo.  If handled properly, carriers also have the right to file mechanic liens in construction projects and mineral liens against well sites.

Many collections companies outsource legal services, and they are unaware of these additional avenues of recovery.  They cannot file lawsuits to collect unpaid freight charges.   

They also charge contingency fees between 15-45% of recovery, plus costs, depending on how long the claim is pending.  They determine how aggressive they are in their collections’ efforts.  The more they delay the collections process, the greater their contingency fee
