Near miss with a psycho client during a long-haul move to Phoenix

god, those psycho clients make me wanna quit the game every time. had a similar mess on a dallas run last month, lady claimed $300 in 'damage' that was there when we loaded up, took pics and walked her through it before she could lawyer up. been there brother, phoenix heat just amps the crazy.

had a customer pull the same crap on a long haul from dallas, claimed a $300 dent we didnt make and threatened to withhold payment... almost came to blows before i got the lawyer on speed dial to shut her up.

screw documenting every scratch, i just tell psycho clients like that to pound sand and walk off the job with the deposit, saves headaches every time.

had a lady once claim my crew broke her priceless vase during a local haul, turns out she dropped it herself while yelling about the price. we just stood there filming her like a bad reality show until she backed off, shoulda charged extra for the entertainment. phoenix heat turning folks psycho? sounds like you dodged a bullet, or a flying antique. next time, maybe bait em with a fake scratch to see how wild they get. 😂 my buddy lost a whole job over a 'mysterious' dent that was there from the factory. keeps things interestin, dont it?

those damn uhaul clients are the WORST, always tryna scam us movers outta hard earned cash with their fake damage crap, makes me wanna quit this BS altogether.

always get signed inventory sheets before unloading, saves your ass from fake claims like that. did a chicago to arizona run last month and the customer signed off on every piece, no drama.

god, these entitled homeowners make me wanna chuck the whole damn truck off the interstate. had a similar crap-show last summer hauling from atlanta to orlando, lady claims her $1200 vase got chipped in transit but it was already cracked from her packing it like a toddler. me and my helper spent two hours inventorying every fragile piece with timestamps on the phone pics, only for her to back off when she saw we werent budging. phoenix heat sounds brutal, bet it amps up the crazy even more out there. i almost ate a $600 loss just to avoid the headache, but nah, documented it all and charged her the full rate. customers like that are why i started turning down long-haul jobs altogether. total BS, man. you ever think about adding a pre-inspection clause to your contracts to head this off?

these entitled homeowners are the WORST, always pulling that fake damage crap to squeeze every last dime out of you. i had one last month in a dallas haul who 'discovered' a chip in her china after we left, then hit us with a $600 demand via email like we were her personal ATM. its infuriating how they think movers are just walking wallets, especially after youve hauled their junk across states in blistering heat. phoenix sun probably fried her brain, but damn, these psychos make you question why we bother with the long hauls. the whole industrys getting overrun with this bs, and inspectors or lawyers just shrug it off. we gotta start charging upfront deposits or something to weed out the crazies.

those entitled homeowners always think they can scam us outta our hard-earned cash with their bullshit claims, makes me wanna start recording every damn move from the jump.

always document everything before and after with time-stamped pics on your phone, saved me from a similar claim last month when some lady tried to blame us for a dent in her $1200 oak dresser.

goddamn clients like that are the WORST, always pulling that fake damage crap to squeeze a freebie outta us honest guys. i've had to lawyer up twice over similar BS in the last year, and it's straight up infuriating how they think they can get away with it.

those psycho clients are the WORST, always trying to scam us out of our hard-earned money with their bullshit claims, makes me wanna never take another long-haul job again.

always get signed inventory lists with pics before unloadin, or you'll end up eatin that $500 claim like i did on a chicago to denver run last year.

damn, had a similar freakout last summer with a client claiming we dinged her china cabinet on a local haul, felt like walking off too but we documented everything and dodged the bullet.

exactly, and they always pick the biggest pieces to whine about.

yep, and then you're stuck chasing insurance claims for nothing.

lol probably, customers love exaggerating old junk.
