    I don't have have dunnage right now because the jobsite I delivered to last week stole it! 6 brand new good quality Doug Fir 4X4's. First time I ever used em.
    Luckily that load paid a little better than 2.20 a mile so I can probably buy some new ones.

    If this was me. I would’ve gone somewhere to find/purchase dunnage to get that load, but not for RATE. OP seem more interested on staying home. A more simple explanation to the broker would’ve been like. I’m broke down at the moment. I have family issues to deal with. Truck is in the shop, and some….. but not the excuse I don’t have any dunnage. No wonder the broker said what he said. I’m done.

    I hate it when they do that. I have pissed so many jobsites and warehouses off by telling them to not steal my dunnage. " But but but, we dont have any here on site"... No worries, ill sell em to you for $30 a board :D somehow they dont want them anymore after that

    Yes, but dunnage doesn't last forever, and i just today was able to replace the dunnage I needed, It would be nice to only need to buy it once, and i dont have a yard with dunnage everywhere, im an owner op, and cant store everything

    I had to replace my dunnage, i did that today, I'm at home, but still look to see whats out there, I was able to go and get, and cut the needed dunnage, but doubt I’ll call them, Especially sinew the load was just $2.20 a mile, and how red she was, I dont drive for a company, I’m an owner op, so no yard to swing by, and just grab more
