I am gonna chime in here,most of the time it is the shipping and receiving end that has the responsibility of loading and unloading,[maybe not in the physical sense that you drive the tractor off his trailer,, but that you have the means to get it off], most truckers have a tailgate delivery type deal,,
IF the loading arrangements werent met,[wrong trailer sent] the time to stop the transaction would be upon loading!!!it should have been said then and there that it was the wrong trailer that there was no way to load it or unload it on the other end,,,the driver would have been mad that he had to get another load or went out of his way,, but that would be between the dispathcer/ or broker and him not you,
, the seller [shipping end] loaded the tractor on the trailer, telling the trucker there was no trouble with the trailer that was sent,, the trucker is assuming there is going to be no trouble on your end either,, [although I can assure you he is saying to himself the whole 600 miles that this is going to be fun getting off, untill he sees you have a ramp/dock,,which you wont]
heres the other thing, if this is COD he wont even take a binder off until the money is in his hand,, if it was paid already,,, you still need to get the tractor off,,, its a sticky situation,, plus unless the guy delivering the tractor is actually the guy you spoke to,, he wont know any details about you conversation with the "dispatcher",,,
again he is going to assume that since the tractor was loaded on the other end, he was not doing anything that wasnt already discussed,,,
This is from years of dealing with dispatchers and brokers,, they care about getting the trucks rolling and out,, the rest is pretty much they will play it by ear,,, of let the trucker worry about it,,,
You should pretty much start setting up a flatbed to get it off before the trucker arrives or you could be faced with a waiting fee as well, and remember he has your tractor on his truck,,, so insense he has the lien and "ownership" well not ownership but you dont have your tractor yet,,
hope it works out for you,,
on the other note 1500 miles for 600 bucks is unheard of,,,,---if you know someone with a gooseneck flatbed trailer you could drive it onto that trailer and then onto the ground,, may be a little cheaper than a flatbed,, but dealing with transporting a piece of equiptment gets expensive,,,pat
