What if it Snows?

I'm in direct contact with brokers, rather than working for a company, they evaluate who they do business with using your MC# as your ID. So when one of our guys calls and agrees to a rate/load even without the Rate Confirmation sheet it's basically considered a done deal, and nobody else SHOULD be able to steal it from under you while waiting on paperwork. Unfortunately, some less honorable individuals will agree to a rate, keep shopping for better loads, and then "fall off" the load they agreed to. Once this happens enough times, even if you didn't do it, you're burned because of their behavior.

 

Ok, but how does somebody you don't know, get your MC#

 

Lucky son-of-a-gun.

 

Because I am operating under a company mc#, rather than having my own authority. Think of it like working for Swift, Prime, etc... only instead of being dispatched I am my own boss. It removes some overhead for me, gives (gave) me access to some better brokers who don't typically work with startups, and has some small advantages on fuel prices in their network.

 

Ahhh...thanks for the clarification.

 

Ignore.

 

Ok, look.
First. I wouldn't know Mongolian or Hibachi bbq if you delivered it to my house.
I'm a white bread Chinese lover. Rice, hot n spicy chicken, egg rolls, and those fried thingeys with cream cheese in them.
Second, I have no idea where you are. It was my understanding that you were going home to annoy the neighbors and cop some Sheila brownie, (whatever that means).
So, I stand absolved.
Carry on

 

I should say it's like Landstar but on a much smaller scale. The difference is Landstar doesn't put up with crap like this from their contractors.
