YEa, I meant more in how to jack some money out of the situation.

Well I tried the, that wont work, I have a load to pick up monday, Ill do the delivery later in the week, but there contract says we are responsible for any missed crane apts etc.

just read about the contract clause, so comment deleted...

honestly taking it at 2.50 and you paying permits was the first deal that happened. but with crane appt loads this sometimes happens, many times the crane co gets a 8 hour minimum, or if they start at 12 and dont get finished by 4 they will charge overtime. it all depends on the crane co. a crane can be 250 dollars an hour and up, their clock also starts when they leave their yard and ends when they get back, unless they go to another job

i cant blame the consignee for doing it at 8 on tuesday, and in fact might be less risk for you, but after the load wasnt ready thursday, with curfews and such , the time to have had this squared away was before it was loaded.

i know that doesnt do much to satisfy you, it might be best to take what you can get here, and as someone said dont load for this agent.

i bet under the same circumstances you will do a load like this differently next time, sometimes in the moment we all forget to ask the right questions beforehand.

Yea I think I just going to have to take this one, If I get into a measuring contest with landstar and tyson Im most definately going to be shorter.

My load over was booked around $4 a mile no permit costs so I was ok with the 2.50 coming back, I just wasnt planning to have it on my truck for 6 days. And everything was cool as a cucumber till yesterday afternoon when she called and changed the crane apt, which I hadnt even know was a crane apt when I booked it.

Just a situation that started out just barely ok and steadily progressed worse as it went.

yep, it will be fine. we all get bent over the tanks once in a while
