Reviews and Complaints

In may 2023 I was looking for a company to ship 2 pallets. I got the wait of the machines from manufacturer and added 30 lbs for safety. I received a quote that I was ok with. Then I signed their bogus paperwork stating they can basically charge you any amount they want.. they do it by stating they reclassified you load . Long story short, the price was almost double what I was quoted. Worst experience I’ve every had . Sad businesses that are dishonest are still about to screw over customers.. wish I had read the other terrible reviews they have. Please, keep looking for a good, honest company…

LOAD KSX0381702-LEWISVILLE,TX-TO-ALBURTIS,PA

PICK-UP 12/13/2021 DELIVER 12/15/2021

Your load was succesfully delivered but we have not recived our payment they said you have not paid them yet.

This had to be the worst company I've ever worked for. The compensation never added up to what was promised and the people that work for this company are completely rude. They definitely don't care if you are half dead make sure you make it to work and on time. There is no work life balance and they could care less about you even when they try to make it seem like they do. And don't even ask about moving up into the company LOL Thats a joke! Take causion !

We have a complaint for the following 2 agents:

1. Robert Williams, president of PrimeTime Global Logistics.
2. Chris Kavanagh

Please contact us regarding the following case:

We booked a load with the agents, it is a round trip load. After we have finished the first half of the load, they are forcing us to get the overweight permits. There is no any single word about the load being overweight and the permits. Now they want to recover the other half of the load and do not want to pay us which is illegal. The load number is [protected]. We have been working with GlobaTranz for a long time, and we know that GlobalTranz provides quality services and reputable company. However, cases like this damage the reputation and need to be handled. Please contact the ITF LLC manager regarding this case as soon as possible.

I was a top performing agent in the Southwest. I left in the middle of 2010. I had to wait to write the complaint because Andrew Leto is very litigious and has threatened to ruin the lives of several agents when they have left.

The concept of GlobalTranz is great but you have a crook and a thief that run the company. I have been in the business for 22 years and I have had good, great, and ok experiences. GlobalTranz is a nightmare. From what I hear the agents that are still there are too afraid to leave because they have been told that they will be sued.

The problems start off with the training in Phoenix where the lies and empty promises and overcommitments start. When I went through training, Mike Leto was teaching the class. You quickly find out that Mike Leto has no integrity. Software rollouts are done poorly and commission checks are rarely right. There is a thing called an adjustment report that if it is not done correctly Andrew Leto literally steals from your pocket.

Do yourself a favor and partner with another Broker or 3PL out there. There are plenty out there and the only one that has better programs out there than GlobalTranz is bait and switch agent models.

Globaltranz is a Deceptive and Fraudulent business in my opinion, people please BEWARE! I am going to alert the media to my case, file with the BBB and finally I will be filing a lawsuit. I am looking for other people who have had similar experiences with Globaltranz who would also like to be a part of my lawsuit. We were approached by Globaltranz who said we would save money by using them. At the point of transfer we had an FAK with another company. They asked us to test out their system to see their "lower rates". I explained that I had an FAK and didn't actually know what class my furniture was. I gave them a very distinct and accurate description of my freight, and, as well, the agent visited my website and told me "We have checked and it's Class 150."

Uship over charges (15%) to simply pass along the shipping to 3rd and 4th party for shipping. They charge you the fee up front (with no possibility for a refund)then pawn you off to numerous vendors. The billing is totally screwed up. You MUST establish an OPEN account with the un known shipping company. You MUST give them a credit card with an OPEN line of credit! You MUST sign and FAX this in. They lost it, and I had to re do it all over again! I made over 12 phone calls to get this going! Plan on 2-3 hours of your time!

The billing is done by ANOTHER outside company and is very UN-professional.

Since I have joined Global Tranz as an agent roughly 2.5 years ago they have gone back on several promises and have declared the contract that I signed with them no good. About a year ago they took it upon themselves to reduce truckload profit split from 50 to 40 percent...regardless of the fact that agents had contracts stating they were due 50%. Then, since they are hurting for cash they decided to take it one step further and declare all contracts null and void. They drafted up a new contract which puts much more money in their pockets as it takes away from the small to mid size agent and only rewards the top 10 %.

If you are considering joining Global Tranz I urge you to re-consider as they will make you feel really warm and fuzzy when you fly out to Phoenix and sit with them for a few days. They will also tell you that they have great customer service which is the furthest from the truth. I have lost several customers due to their requests for accounting adjustments being ignored for over two months by the accounting department.

There are about 12 of us disgruntled agents that keep in touch and we have decided to form a sort of union so that we can warn future prospects and also fight for the money that is being taken from us. There will be a blog/twitter or some place where present agents can submit complaints and where new prospects can get advice at some time in early 2011. Trust me when I say that Global Tranz does not want agents talking to each other and that is exactly what we are going to do. Sign up on this website to be notified about all Global Tranz issues and be looking for more information about this movement in early 2011.

Globaltranz lists on their website some percieved accolades but when you dig a little deeper than the first line, you see it is nothing more that false advertising to boast about things that as you will see are lies in one form or another.

http://www.globaltranz.com/ lists two "articles" about them being the best place to work in 2010 (url: http://www.globaltranz.com/news/10-12-08/GlobalTranz_Voted_Best_Place_to_Work_in_2010.aspx?ReturnURL=%2fdefault.aspx) but guess what. They are merely an honoree run by the Phoenix Business Journal. A paid subscription. They are also ranked #10 Honoree for a business 50-99 employees. Here lies their second SCAM

http://www.globaltranz.com/ lists a second article about their CEO being one of Arizona's Top Entrepreneurs (url: http://www.globaltranz.com/news/10-10-28/GlobalTranz_CEO_One_of_Arizona_s_Top_Entrepreneurs.aspx?ReturnURL=%2fdefault.aspx) but guess what. Alndrew Leto lies about the staff size! "With a staff of over 100 industry professional" is HIS words in this article, CLEARLY A LIE!

the Inc 5000 that they list is clearly skewed since they are privately held and can state any amount of revenue and it cannot be verified. It also lists their staff @ 70 people.

WHICH IS IT YOU BUNCH OF LIARS?

AS YOU CAN SEE, GLOBALTRANZ IS MERELY A SHADOW OF WHAT THE SAY THEY ARE AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN FOR TRUTH SINCE THEY HAVE WARPED THESE TYPES OF PRESS RELEASES TO SUIT THEIR NEEDS, NOT CONVEY THE TRUTH.

Beware before considering going to work for this company! Any and all sales reps should take heed before going all the way to phoenix to be trained and then robbed by global tranz. They lure you in with a promising profit split and then get you to the office, train you for 3 days which are full of promising profits and riches, then... At the end of the seminar they call you each in one by one and via peer pressure try to get you to sign their contract on the spot. They tell you that you get a 60/40 split on ltl and a 50/50 split on truckloads but don't bother to tell you until you read the fine print of your contract that you have to pay a 2.5 % invoicing fee on gross revenue as well as a 2% csr fee that goes towards having someone at their office answer your phone calls and track your freight.

Do the math! If you have a shipment with a profit of 100.00 you would expect to make 60.00. However, let's say the profit margin of the shipment was 20% and total charge of shipment to customer was 500.00.
Take the 2.5 % invoicing charge out of 500.00 = 12.50
Take the 2.0% csr fee out of the 500.00= 10.00
These two fees come directly out of your profit!

Total deductions for sending an invoice and having a csr - 22.50. (by the way the csr basically does nothing because your customer can quote and print bols and track online without any help at all).

Subtract 22.50 from 60.00 and you get= 37.50 from global tranz.

So! Your average profit split for doing all the work and spending your money paying for your phone, car and gas bills will be at best 37.50. It is even worse for truckloads because you only get 50 percent profit before all the deductions.

I signed on with global tranz in early 2009 and have been trying to make it work ever since. I have quoted over 120 truckloads to prospective customers and have only won 7 loads. This was done by only adding 10% per shipment as opposed to global tranz suggested 20% starting quote mark up. The ltl rates are good but they rob you on your profit split. Their truckload rates are horrible based on my 120 quotes.

It seems that in the past 6 months, GlobalTranz has asked us for our credit card information with an ever expanding form.

I called to ask Carolyn Kinsley what the deal is and I heard she was fired. Maybe she stole the CC info? Probably not but still, when a company turns into a rotating employer, it typically means there are internal issues that upper management have and typically it is not the staff they get rid of.

I have requested a call from Michael Leto or his brother Anderw Leto but both have failed to call me to clarify why they are going through staff and asking from my CC now for the 3rd timne in the same amount of months.

I wonder if they are having issues internally and I think I will start looking for a new shipping company.
