    Just curious what happened to get you so heated .....I know booking same day frieght on Friday is never the best and my opinion thier orientation process was not great but once I got out I almost never hear from them or get told what to do

    I disagree with Quality pushing drivers to go to any company, you can go with whom ever they have agreements with. As far as control over the load
    board, yeah I'm sure there is some degree of control. Companies are in business to make profit for themselves so why wouldn't they maintain some amount of control. It's pointless for me to look at it that way. That's the same as people always worrying whether the getting 100% of the fsc. Unless you are brokering the freight yourselves, you either take what the company is offering, if it works for you, or you go elsewhere. I do agree with you about there not being enough loads on there board. It kinda sucks imo. I do have to remind myself that it's not a mega company so I guess the load quantity matches it's size? maybe.

    There is an ebb and flow to thier frieght also but I have never been stuck anywhere yet (knock on wood) I do seem to have more choices if I am all ways working on the third load and there are some areas that I have noticed go hot and cold

    Even still, I would rather book loads off the load board, going where I want to go, and when I want to go than sit waiting, then someone sends me a 280 mile load at 11:15 pm after I've been sitting up waiting all day hoping to get a nice run to make up for the one I drop the day before.

    I know who they send it to. I wasn't thinking that somebody was stealing I was thinking brokers have money to pay the company. So where would not paying the drivers come into play at. from the financial side of things
