Trashed my car

Absolutely horrible experience! The driver did not call prior to pick, just arrived at the house and called from out front. The day before the delivery the driver hit an overhead gate destroying the roof of my car but never notified me or Road Runner of the accident. Upon arrival at the destination there was no 2-3 hour call, the driver attempted to drop and run but my son caught him. He then tried to alter the pickup and delivery inspection report to indicate the damage was there at time of pickup, again my son caught him doing this. The driver then took off leaving no insurance information, paper work, BOL or delivery receipt and gave us a disconnected phone number for his company. My son was able to get a photo on the inspection report however. The repair estimates exceeded the value of the vehicle but in the end I was able to reach a settlement with the Hauler’s insurance company and the car is being repaired however they would not refund the transport cost. Road Runner however never apologized or called me directly or returned my calls. They are nearly impossible to contact once they have your money. I asked them to refund the cost for transport and they refused stating that the vehicle was delivered to its destination. This would be like paying someone to clean your windows and in the process breaking your windows but still wanting to get paid because they were in fact cleaned. I strongly recommend not using Road Runner.
