The broker lied about the reefer temperature

Obviously you have a reading comprehension problem. His reasoning is plain as day in the first quote you use as evidence you don’t understand what he’s talking about.

What is obvious is that you’ll run anything no matter how cheap or heavy just for gas money, lol. “Grand scheme of things” you’re killing it!

Funny, you don’t even know how cheap the load was and here you are running your mouth about how you’d run it. Didn’t comprehend the OP from the very start. What did a -10 load pulp at, lol.

 

You mean rates “offered” are the same..When I offer my rate (bid) it’s based on many factors.

I wouldn’t run a 45k lb load through two days of mountain terrain for the same rate as a 5k lb load. They can offer the same rate but I’m not running them for the same.

 

Food for thought..

If all things were equal then why would a broker need to lie about a temp setting..or even a weight estimate.

So they can get it booked cheaper?
So someone with junk equipment will take it?

I’m not saying or agreeing that the OP was lied to.

 

So light load vs heavy is the same as a fresh vs a frozen load is the same thing? That makes zero sense.

 

Any one of you saying a 40’degree load is the same as a -10 load are ridiculous. Not all reefers are create equally old or new and if a broker says it’s fresh, and you arrive to a frozen, it’s not ok.

 

When was the last time you ran a -10 load on your own trailer with your own insurance and authority? Come on bro I respect you but this one is out of your wheel house.

Frankly, I’m surprised to see a couple folks on this thread defending this nonsense.

 

I agree! The point is was trying to make was, generally speaking, a -10 load isn't going to pay anymore than a fresh 34 degree load, based on temperature only. Unless you are sitting on it for a few days.

 

Maybe that's why he's out of business and works for Walmart now...

 

You got me there but I never put anybody's authority at risk or caused them any losses, never.

 

What have you done to set the world on fire? What do you do?
