scenario: sold a load of bison payable x $/lbs on net weight taken on a commercial legal for trade truck scale at 2 mls from point of delivery.No shrink deduction allowed
recieved payment 2 weeks late,$3600.- short of calculation,with no scale ticket or statement included. On inquary for explanation from the buyer i was told that there was no printed scale ticket,only a handwritten one. Buyer said that weight did not sound right and decided to pen the animals up for a week,then run them individually across a small scale,tally up the weight and pay based on that total,what resulted in lesser payment recieved caused by shrink or inacurate scale. up on talking later that day to the feedlot manager I learned that there was indeed a printed scale ticket as he had picked it up in person at the comm weigh scale on the day of delivery,but given it to the buyer the same day.
As i had a net scale weight taken at time of loading i new the animal weight before the trip. and gotten the net weight from the manager by phone after arival at the feedlot. i knew my shrink % and the final weight.
The buyer keeps insisting that there is no legal scale ticket,and the manager has no more proof,and don't want to get involved for fear of losing his job.
What to do? going to small claims court is not gonna get me the money.just a judgement. I also hate to let him get away with it.
