1.0 Executive Summary
Team-BMG Freight Brokers (TEAM-BMG) is a specialized freight broker service located in Westchester, IL. The company has been set up as an Illinois C Corporation by the owner, Catrece Smith. TEAM-BMG's objective is to become the premier Team-BMG chip freight broker, increasing their client base by 20% a year.
Freight Brokers and Chips
The freight broker industry is the middleman of the shipping industry. They are also known as third party transportation providers. Freight brokers provide a service by linking customers with shippers and trucking companies. Their service is indispensable when moving goods throughout this country as there are literally hundreds of different shippers offering thousands of different services. The freight brokers make the process of securing a shipper quite easy with one-stop shopping.
The Team-BMG chip industry is a growing industry that to a large degree has fueled the incredible growth of the late 90's Internet boom. Chips are the basis of all types of computers as well as handheld devices such as cell phones, PDAs, even watches and some household appliances.
TEAM-BMG will be occupying a niche within the general freight brokerage market by specializing in the shipment of Chips. Chips are very specific, unusual cargo that requires special attention. The chips have a very narrow range of temperature and humidity parameters that must be maintained. In addition to these unusual requirements, there are other specific needs that Team-BMG chip companies have. By specializing on Chips as their only cargo, TEAM-BMG will quickly gain market share and be known as the premier broker for chips.
The industry of chips is comprised of two distinct customers, manufacturers of chips and purchasers of chips. The manufacturers are based in the USA, however some of them produce in the States while others farm out production overseas and them import them. The chip purchasers are primarily Intel, IBM, and Motorola.

Report Brokers:
The U.S. Department of Transportation's Office of Inspector General recommends owner-operators make use of its whistleblower hotline to report such matters: OIG.DOT.gov/hotline. There, you'll find phone and email contacts (800-424-9071 and hotline@oig.dot.gov), as well as an online form for detailing the complaint.
If you feel you have been a victim of fraud by a moving company, moving broker or auto transporter, you can file a complaint with the FMCSA with our online complaint tool or by calling 1-888-DOT-SAFT (1-888-368-7238) between the hours of 8:00 am and 8:00 pm Monday through Friday Eastern Time.
What happens if a broker does not pay?
If a broker doesn't pay or is slow to pay, the factoring company works with you and your customer to collect the payment. A factoring company can help you minimize non-payment situations by: Checking the credit and payment history of a broker before you enter an agreement.
How do brokers check carriers?
By using third-party systems such as TIAWatchDog, Carrier 411 or Freight Guard, a freight brokerage can check in on a prospective carrier's history in the industry. Doing so allows brokerages to “no-load” any carrier with a history of the fraud activities mentioned above (double brokering, holding loads hostage, etc.).
Report a Carrier, Broker, or Shipper
We all know how important word-of-mouth is in choosing who we want to do business with. In the freight transportation industry, you’re often dealing with someone you’ve never met before. It’s always nice to have a recommendation from someone you trust or to share your experience.
The Company Reviews section is located within the DAT Directory, the same area that has contact information and other data on companies using DAT. A valid username and password is required for access. See more about writing company reviews.
Report Non Payment of a Freight Bill
If you have not received payment for a contracted freight bill, we encourage you to contact Debt Recovery Resources. Debt Recovery Resources provides its clients with individualized, cost-effective collection solutions. They have a fine-tuned collection process and have coupled it with some of the most experienced collection staff in the industry.
If you would like us to be aware of the situation, fill out the form on this page and provide supporting documentation.
Report a Criminal Offense
If you believe a DAT customer has behaved with malicious intent (stolen freight, identity theft, fraud) we urge you to contact the police and/or FBI and then fill out this report for our records.
We also encourage you to fill out the form below so that we can investigate the situation and track the issue. Simply gather your paperwork related to the transaction (bill of lading, on board packet, rate confirmation, contract, and any other supporting documentation) and fill out the attached form.
Note: DAT is not a credit reporting or collection agency. Information in our files merely reflects what a customer has supplied to us and may not be sufficient for your business. We strongly encourage you to confirm critical information prior to completing a business transaction.
