Canadian Flatbeds.

we run over 180 Trucks on the road, we did not hold any freight hostage, the comment about us holding the freight hostage is from mallard transport, they had our 2 trucks wait in MN for 20 hours and then refused to pay us waiting time and just laughed, we told them just pay your account as we were going to close their account with us, We did deliver their freight before receiving their payment. pretty easy to make comments on the net when all you own is a fax machine and a computer and all you do is cheat trucking companies for cents. rest of the negative comments can sue us in court if they are right. we are a successful company but we cannot stop idiots from making false comments on internet.

Owner is a dumb and *** face gets his loads by bribing people. He thinks he is god but he is a little midget people around him is only for his money otherwise everyone knows he is a idiot himself with no education and don’t know how to speak to employees specially driver. And I totally believe in holding loads as I use to work there

Guest

You don't even own close to 180 trucks. in fact not even half of that.

I guess facts aren't a big thing for you?. probably the same thing as the freight being held for ransom.....

likely did happen!. That's Canadian Fat heads for you!

Resolved: Held our freight for ransom

These people are terrible and are doing illegal things in order to take advantage of others. They held our freight ransom, made us transfer the funds plus additional money to their factoring company before they would deliver and never provided the proof of delivery. It is in your best interest not to business with them. We had worked with them without too many issues for sometime before this happened. It was the owner who decided to behave in this fashion towards us after we had given them lots of work and paid their invoices in a timely fashion. It is not worth it, do not risk this happening to you

Very typical of shady moving companies here in the U.S. as well ; I've heard some pretty gruesome horror stories first hand.

Every time I move, I discard as much as I can possibly live without and try to stay as light on baggage as is possible.

One can often ship much of their personal property via more reliable carriers such as UPS, FedEx, etc. or just a regular freight trucking company.

I have heard mixed reviews. They are a larger company, is that where the shortfalls are?

Do you have any specifics to watch out for? anything is appreciated.

Sometimes bigger company struggle to work on people management etc. I have heard they move good freight and have no problems but i could be wrong.

Worst company in the world

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Harry is an amazing person but the biggest cheater. If you're working under him and making him the money he is good with u but the minute u start something of ur own he will come after you with no proof and immediately starts pulling *** from his *** just to get you rattled up. Worked with him as a company driver and owner-operator. As a company driver never noticed the pay scams and issues but the day I switched over he started to show his real colour. day after day I would catch his accounting team of idiot professionals that have no clue how to add and subtract with mistakes, that have added up to $1000+ at times.

BUYER BEWARE - Fast talkers with no real acumen of dimensions.

We make engineeered industrial cooling. CFL was well aware I had a crane booked on site to load 2 chiller units, I wanted/requested 2 Stepdecks with Tarps and provided DIMS to Harry Wadhwa , he said I have rolltites that will work, no worries. I even questioned him on it and he said, he was sure it would work. Yeah, IT didn't work and I had to scramble to find 2 trucks last minute with a crane/rigger onsite!! Not to mention when I called him on out on the error he tried to put back onto me and got personal and became belligerent. Class or intergrity is NOT something this organization possesses. Spend your $ elsewhere.

Harry Wadhwa is a liar, a thief and a con artist. I had dealings with him 19 years ago in which he lied to Me and swapped a tridem deck for a 10 foot spread deck in Manitoba.

I was not aware that it's against the law to load a 10 foot spread in Manitoba.

Not only did I get it loaded, I also got it out of the province with no problems, He also is or was under investigation for sexual assault on a woman who worked in his office. He used to be called "CANADIAN SEA AND AIR" a flatbed carrier, with questionable operating procedures

I work at a company they sometimes pick molds up from . Middle eastern guy is usually the driver. Very nice and seemed to care about the cargo he was hauling . I would hire them to transport anything . Also very nice equipment. And there drivers can actually back a trailer .....

STAY AWAY FROM CANADIAN FLATBED LTD! EXTORTIONISTS !

This company is to be avoided at all costs. I AM NOT AN EX-EMPLOYEE... Just someone who had the unpleasant experience of doing a one time deal with Canadian Flatbed Ltd. Once they have your cargo on their equipment, they consider it their own and can do as they please. Harry is a highly unstable person, in need of psychiatric help. His erratic behaviour leads to numerous conflicts with receivers / shippers etc and when he does not like what he is being told, or has to wait a reasonable amount of time to be offloaded, he unleashes a torrent of verbal abuse on whomever he can reach. His rates are not honoured, he will hold your cargo for blackmail until he gets paid, makes numerous threats and is not to be trusted. Do yourself a favour, and find another trucking company.. There are plenty in the GTA who are not the filth on the bottom of your shoe.

Horrible Company!!! Drivers carry false trucking insurance info!!!! BEWARE!!!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
A driver from their company was in the U.S. and failed to secure its load on the highway causing a long metal pole to come flying off and went through my car into the hood. The driver pulled off. The driver gave police a false insurance company and I had to find it myself online using pictures of the side of the truck I took after the owner wouldn't cooperate. The owner wouldn't supply me with the correct insurance info after several calls and a giant cell phone bill from calling long distance. Owner wouldn't cooperate with his insurance and never sent back any forms they requested which made them have to take over it. 2.5 months later I'm finally getting my deductible back bc we had to use our insurance to fix it. Horrible company!!!! Never trust a word Harry says!!! The drivers negligence to secure his load could have killed me! They will be lucky we don't sue them!

Canadian Flatbed - Freight Shipping Review from Toronto, Ontario

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Thus company delivers damaged freight, gives bounced checks, lies about delivery constantly, refuses to maintain trucks or pay their mechanics bills, in fact they give bounced checks to cover costs, their owner lies to us customers about our freight and won't pay for damages they do to it. They lie to brokers and attempt to undercut other businesses for freight and refuse to be honest about anything. Do NOT use this company for freight, you will have nothing but issues.

Employee Experience Review

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I drove there for 2 years. Cheques bounced like super balls. Pays come from personal accounts of numerous office staff. Trucks are not maintained. Drivers are pushed down the highway with no sleep and we never got home time. In 2 years i had about 3 months of home time. When i finally refused to drive his truck because it was jot fit for the road i was fired.
