Looking for a Car Shipper

Oh you lawyer types, the first thing you want to so is sue somebody. I love it. Jim, you and I should get a drink together sometime. I think we'd have some great stories to share from different sides of the fence.

What's the old joke? What do you call a thousand lawyers at the bottom of the ocean????

I'm very glad things are working out for you, please keep us updated on progress.


well, the comment: "i'm a lawyer and i'm going to sue you." has been a phrase i have used on numerous occasions. i am a very mellow guy and try to let most of life's issues and idiots pass me by without concern. but when i do start to get hasselled by someone, i tend to have a "short fuse." let me offer one more bit of information about the nutty shipper Aspera Auto Shipping and why i may still sue them. first they sent me a "low ball" bid for shipping the car. i accepted that bid and asked them to send me a contract. they did - but they sent me the contract THEY use between them and the actual truck drivers. as soon as i looked at this document i knew it was wrong because it had all kind of language and provisions in it that would never apply to someone trying to arrange shipping of a car. so i called them back and tried to get the dispatcher listed on the document to tell him that he had sent the wrong document. naturally, they have multiple "agents" so i got a different person from who i had been dealing with - this time a woman. she stumbled around asking dumb questions about my deal but finally found my quote. so i tell her again about being sent the wrong contract. she says she understands and will send the correct document. i hang up, wait 20 minutes and check my email. her email is there. i open up the attachment and IT'S THE SAME DAMN WRONG CONTRACT!! so now i'm mad. i call up this goofy company again and get yet another "dispatcher" and tell her i want to talk to a supervisor. i'm on hold for about 2 minutes and some guy gets on. i tell him the problem with the driver's contract his company keeps sending me and then explain to him what a "shipping invoice" is suppose to look like. he understands and says he will correct the problem. 15 minutes after i hang up, i get an email with a correct "shipping invoice" attached. but of course, this invoice reflected the low ball "bait and switch" bid they originally gave me. i never heard another thing from this questionable and unprofessional company.

so yea, i still might sue Aspera Auto Shipping. as far as i can determine, they are TOO STUPID to even be in business.

here's some lawyer jokes:

"What do you do when you have an attorney up to his neck in concrete? Get more concret."

"Why did medical researchers quit using rats in their experiments and started using lawyers? The research workers were becomming too attached to the rats."
