    Ya guess everyone is different. Both Allied & Atlas Tube have ridiculous wait times, I've been to both of them more than once when I first started here and will never go back.

    Most of the coil loads I see them have are way to cheap for me.


    I do agree with the Indiana fuel, I dont buy it either.

    Getting to be like this with OKC agent. Gonna end up waiting 2 hours for paperwork and prob won't get paid. The biggest issue I have with mercer is we can't get stuff taken care of till the agents get in. Which this agent doesn't get in till 830cst time...

    Ya, I personally dont think that Agent even tries to get detention in fear of losing customers considering he doesn't have very many anyhow. Definitely a downside to being leased to a company versus being independent where you would keep fighting to get paid for your time

    But you still don't get paid very often. I fight for it a lot but in the end most customers just don't pay detention.

    3 hours just to get into the base because I want out on the list

    On the up side tinker afb will hold your weapon if you carry so you can enter the base. Not many do this anymore.

    Because if my numbers are right they take 25% of it. Basically they add fsc plus line haul together and then take 25%

    I have not seen that in my settlements. Freight rate and FSC listed separately and no deduction on FSC.
     
    thaistick and RStewart Thank this.
