I got a call from a mover I met out of Albany, N.Y. He asked if I wanted to load trailers for a company, GDK International out of New Jersey. The first time they needed me they sent too small a truck to pick up an Indian customers belongings. They asked if I could pick up 15 boxes and store them for a month until they had someone else in the area to pick them up. 6 weeks later their driver shows up at my apartment, doesn't call my cell, but sits there for hours, parked in the driveway, blocking my landlord's garage, which I very specifically told either Greg or Rodney for him not to do, park in the street. He was supposed to have $150.00 to pay me for the pickup and storage. He laughed when I asked him for the money and said, we'd have to go to a Western Union, because they didn't trust him with money. An hour wasted unnessesarily because they sent someone who couldn't be trusted with cash. He b*tched about how incompetant they were to work for. But I got paid, Whatever?
Next they asked me to price a packing job in Arlington 35.00 to me if they didn't get the job, 75.00 if they did. The job had 2 extremely fragile and expensive Items I wanted no part of taking responsiblity for, so I passed and said keep the 35.00 1st pack job I ever passed on. One art piece was 800 years old anyway and would have been like packing "butterfly wings" I hadn't gotten the $35.00 Then shortly after that they needed me and 2 other movers in 1 hour (Short Notice) in Franklin, Ma roughly an hour drive to load a 24 foot container for 400.00 Flat I get there and the container is still on the truck up high without a ramp. The driver tells me I'm 10 minutes late, He was the second biggest jerk I've met in the moving industry after the first one they sent. The job was completed to the customer's satisfaction, not everything fit. I called them to get paid several times and got jerked around. That was May I just heard about rippoff report so I'm writing now. If your shipping overseas go with someone else. They'll never have reliable providers as long as they rip them off and their 2 drivers had no respect for them whatsoever and didn't even ask me not to say anything to which is very telling. Don't load for these guys they'll rip you off.
