Four things we never do

  • We never contact brokers or shippers from Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, or any address outside @bartransport.net.
  • We never ask you to send a rate confirmation or dispatch sheet to an address outside that domain.
  • We never change our remittance, banking, or factoring instructions by email. A message telling you our payment details changed did not come from us.
  • We never re-broker a load we accepted under our own authority without telling you first.

If someone is using our name or our numbers, call JR Elrod direct at 785-313-2287.
