    Pittsburgh Logistics has been downgraded to a B credit rating with outstanding claims. They are also now insured by Pacific Financial. They are the lowest form of insurance companies out there and the last resort for bad brokers.

    I'm not hauling any more loads for them until they get their act together.

    They also lost a big account here in Virginia from a steel mill. Steel Dynamics.

    I got two calls from PLS this morning since I'm going to be PA this week. Both brokers were floored when I told them. They had no idea. I feel bad because PLS is my absolute favorite brokers to deal with. They always have the load instead of calling to see if it's gone. They send me the rate conformation right away and they don't bother me at all on the road. They are one of the few brokers that keep notes on you. Like in my case it would read.

    Always first one there to load. Never calls to say he's loaded. Never calls to say where he is. Always delivers on time and never calls us to tell us he did.
