Another rinse and repeat LED sign going to a highway billboard site in New Britain, CT. I recalled the installer to find there's no way the rig is getting to the site, so they're organizing a day cab and 48' flat for the 'final mile'.
On the up-side, a certain member here , if available, and situation pending - has agreed to an interview.
Interesting negotiation on this one - it's that moment where you realize you should have shot higher, but you got what you get.
It's a CHR load. Unfortunately. The agent I usually deal with is apprehensive offering anything outside a $12/mile range, because CHR doesn't understand . . . anything essentially. Due to it being a CHR load, any other agent can run it on the LS board. I initially called my regular gal on it, she was gun shy - so - I thought it would be good to call the "cut and paste" A. Taylor agent, and offer a high bid. So CHR would get a 'range'.
Be darned - kid called CHR and they Ok'ed it, and also 'trapped' the load for 15 minutes.
I quickly call my gal and explain - she tries to bis $100 lower to get the load, but it's locked out to her. I apologize and explain my mentality, she's good with it, but I think it may have taught us both a lesson.
Cut and paste gets the load, and here we are. My gal normally cuts out $1,000 load, $1,000 unload, FSC @ $1/mile - A. Taylors' crowd wants to fight me tooth and nail on this BS.
Next time will be different - I'd love to steal their specialized freight - heck, all their freight from those ######## if I could. They understand zero about the business. Everything from hotshots to specialized trailers, and they get the worst customer service ever with these clowns.
Rant over.
