Or.................he is the one that looks like they have not showered all week, or.........the one who's truck looks like a rolling violation,,,,,or the same driver who is in the petro 'flirting' with the cashier thinking he's gonna get laid.,,,,,,, or the,,,,,,,,, well you get the idea. No matter what the setup,,,,, or the load,,,,, or the operation these guys are BOTTOM FEEDERS. Some may agree, BUT.... i am sure that alot more will disagree. everyone runs their business different,,,,,,,, let's all hope that this kind of stupidity will not affect true O/O.AM77 Thanks this. -
I figured out what he was doing, simple mathmatical logic. If he takes $1,000-344miles=$656. So he must be traveling backwards.

He told me that was to high he had a driver that would do it for $150 a day but he wanted a advance to get his reefer out the shop. I told him thats why he cant get it out he work for free

Big John Thanks this. -
I agree, sounds like he was feeling you out. If he really got the load transported for less than quoted. He wouldn't want to give away his true profit. He got your reaction. Then realized he could never pull anything over on you. Which makes me wonder why o/o's don't have an o/o owned broker service. Like an o/o owned broker service Co-Op where the o/o members hire the broker agents to work for them. The o/o would then get the good rates generated by their broker employees. Any cheap rates would be sent to a load board. And the o/o members would divide the profit at the end of the quarter,the profit from the not so good rates that any bottom feeders might take. Would this work?
