    Sure, but find me a set of riggers who show up on time and didn't layout all night drinking?

    Most people will not accept tracking if you read the fine print.

    Macro wants acces to contacts on your phone. Or used to.

    I dont care what a load pays. No one is accessing the info in my cellphone.

    As a company hand, maybe different.

    42 mph sounds oddly specific, yet accurate, from what I've witnessed. One got on the interstate in front of me, and it looked like when he hit right around 40 or so the fiberglass air dam over the sleeper just exploded and took most of the side extensions with it. I don't remember if it was an older Century or Volvo, I was too busy dodging fiberglass.

    It ain’t much for competition, but throw in some mule deer finger steaks and it’ll fill the empty

    I've had many who don't request tracking in carrier packet. But slide it in the load tender. This is contractual and not employment. I tell them up front my company policy is not to allow tracking on company devices.

    The big Ercer challenged me on this. Few phone calls later with some rum dumb, I asked for acces to thier central system, and customer lists. He ask why would he do that? I asked why would I, I'm the owner and driver on this and my device contains info I have agreed to not disclose to others.

    Couple hundred loads ran without tracking, or misses appointments. No issue.

    I tell anyone who calls in first minute my company does not participate in tracking. You can call or email anytime. 95% have no issue. But stay professional. I've lost a handful of loads, most have bad credit anyhow.

    Don't think because your small time, that a big fleet, mega, broker wouldn't want your bread and butter jobs and rates. They have buildings of sales people under cutting carries every day.

    This might be a rabbit hole, but it happens.
