The Blogging of Webster 582

When someone gets a load as a carrier, and gives it to their brokerage side to double broker, they have technically brokered the load from the carrier side without a brokerage bond, to their brokerage side. I have long thought that part of Map-21 was meant for double broker scams. “It’s pretty bad right now — it’s like the Wild West out there for double or triple brokering loads,” John B., who asked that his last name and company not be identified, told FreightWaves. The CEO of several transportation companies linked to an alleged sophisticated double-brokering ring claims he’s being unfairly targeted by his competitors, possibly because of his Armenian heritage.
While Avetyan denies knowing the CEO of All State Trucklines, Armen Karibyan, California secretary of state documents list Karibyan as an officer of All State Association. In business filings, he’s also listed as the secretary of a factoring company, Royalty Capital Inc., that Avetyan owns. Although the company is registered as a Nevada corporation, the mailing address is the same as All State Association in San Fernando. Business filings for Royalty Capital list Avetyan and Karibyan as working out of the same office in Las Vegas. This is Part II of an ongoing FreightWaves investigation into an alleged double-brokering ring based in Southern California.



They gave it to an asset that sat on the load and never thought about calling someone about it. “There’s a lot of good people in this area that have had to move or they have had to find other ways to work in this industry because of this list,” he said. While double-brokering is legal, doing so without disclosing it to shippers is not.
He said his goal is to warn others to do their due diligence or pay the price. The three brokerages use an elaborate network of employees and fake carrier MC numbers to “pretend to have a truck so they could re-broker loads,” Howard alleges. He claims they were kicked off the Oregon-based DAT load board in December after brokers filed numerous complaints. I bet most of the 400 carriers are one truck independents who solely rely on the “agents ” to load their truck. I bet this guy is really running his own little labor mafia , just like they do all around mediterranean , when caught ,he just cries racism Brokers acting as carrier is supposed be illegal, but FMSCA doses not enforce it.

Despite his ongoing fight to prevent fraudulent double brokering, Howard said new MC numbers based out of Southern California are cropping up monthly as he compiles data and connects the dots between employees of the old entities and the newly established ones. Howard said the alleged double-brokering ring started with three large brokerages that are still operating — All State Association, located in San Fernando, California, and Broadway Brokerage and TriStar Brokerage, both headquartered in Glendale, California. None of the companies responded to FreightWaves’ request for comment.
Double brokering is addressed in the Map-21 Law isn’t it? Brokering a load without a bond, is subject of up to $10,000 per load fine. However, not long after these entities were blocked from vying for loads on DAT, Howard claims two new brokerages popped up — all parented by Massive 3PL Corp., headquartered in Edinburg, Texas, and Fargo Freight Inc. of La Crescenta, California. “We’re probably one of the largest Armenian trucking companies in the country,” Megrabyan said. At the time, Megrabyan said the company had more than 500 sales agents that All State has financed to start their own transportation companies in the U.S. and has hired hundreds more agents in Armenia.

Howard says this sophisticated network has created hundreds of fake MC numbers, pretending to have trucks to get the loads from other brokers. Another entity involved in the alleged scheme re-brokers the freight to legitimate carriers that often have no idea the freight has been illegally double-brokered. In Southern California, Howard said the cities of Glendale, Tujunga, North Hollywood and Burbank “could maybe hold between five to 10 legitimate trucking companies,” yet he said over 400 MCs are registered there. He claims most of the entities and employees involved in the alleged double-brokering scheme are “affiliated with each other in one way or another” and can be traced back to his original list.

Avetyan claims Howard’s list has hurt “a lot of innocent people” that started trucking companies and 3PLs that All State helped finance in Southern California. Howard said the alleged double-brokering ring originally started with three large brokerages that are still operating, including All State Association, located in San Fernando, and Broadway Brokerage and TriStar Brokerage, both headquartered in Glendale, California. He told FreightWaves that he knew the owners and “was familiar with their situation” and that load board providers, including Oregon-based DAT, “had shut down 300 users for alleged fraud,” but that he was not involved in the company.
