              Dec 21 st original BOL ********* was created voided redone to BOL ********* ************* for shipment to ProPower Racing in WI 53178, Pickup by Dayton Freight . On the 23rd I created another shipment to be picked up by Dayton BOL ********* *** ********** for Mid South Foam, MS 38654.When Dayton came on the 27th to pick up they put Pro #'s on items to be shipped to reach their destinations. On this day the Dayton Driver put the Pro #'s on the wrong items causing these two shipment to go in opposite directions. Even though we had Large Shipping Labels to where each shipment was to go the Driver made the mistake of labeling them with wrong PRO #'s . Pro #s are how they are tracked. Mid South Foam customer called me and said he received the Pro Power Racing pallet. It was at that moment I realized we had a mess on our hands. I have been disputing from the date of mix up. I feel we Mullins Race Engines Inc. should receive a deep discount or shipments should be at no cost to us.

              DONNA V

              12/02/2021

              I called Dayton Freight, 6450 Poe Ave., Dayton Ohio 09/14/2021 to pick up a small used machine. My request for quote along with dim. were insured value, must be strapped to side of truck. Donna in customer service said no problem quoted the shipment. At time of delivery the machine was damaged we noticed it was not strapped down, it fell over completely damaging the moving parts and brain of the machine. Dayton Freight at that time said they don't insure used machine. . Dayton Freight charged $1275.00 to delivery then took the damaged machine with them and refused the insurance claim. ... Driver for Dayton Freight noted the machine fell over on paperwork. We are out $12,000.00 for the machine and $1,275.00 to ship it. Dayton Freight in no way showed any concern for the damage. This is one trucking Company I will never call on again
