    Another conman on the prowl here. He stole $500 from me last night. He uses the name Dean. Email he used was deanbh@yahoo.com. I couldn't verify the truck being loaded because nobody in the whse would answer the phone. I relunctantly gave him a $500 comcheck and 2 minutes later it was cashed in Simi Valley, CA. I hope all of you are lucky enough to never cross paths with this guy. I would have to say he is the most professional thief i have ran acroos yet. I'm sure his mom is very proud of him.

    Well seeing CRAWFORDS been around for 20+ years did you not think it was kind of strange they needed FUEL $ ADVANCED.

    of course i did Flatbed. I am simply letting everyone who wants to read this know what happened to me. I'm sure all info concerning the thieves in our business would be greatly appreciated by honest people.

    No questions asked about his information, truck and tractor number, company driver ID or validated his load?

    sorry to hear it happening, but here
    is an after thought.
    Have the trk scan or fax the bills to show they are lded. Then you can give out funds if needed.

    That's an odd situation. Maybe there is more to the story.
