bad broker - William Coq from Trangistics Inc., Sisters, OR. He reassured me the D6H dozer was under 10' tall and weighed 36,000 lbs. great load for my step deck with ramps. too bad with the ROPS it is 10'10" tall, and with the blade on the front, winch on the back, and fluids weighs over 50,000 lbs. So I spent over $100 on permits, spent most of the day getting the load lined up, and drove 85 miles to pick it up for nothing.... and they tell me I was the second stepdeck with ramps to show up and not haul it.

I thought Landstar was supposed to be good...
Landstar needs to quit wasting our time by allowing their agents to post cheap freight on load boards. In my opinion, it is tarnishing their image. I was just quoted $350 for a 280 mile trip into a dead zone. And she was not even willing to consider a decent rate.KB3MMX Thanks this. -

You will find there are LS agents who do nothing but "cut and paste" other people's loads and double broker freight. We've caught agents trying to double broker our customers freight. It's a sad state, but as of right now...nothing is happening to these "agents." It upsets us just as much as it does you guys because it tarnishes the image of all of us.KB3MMX Thanks this. -

Markis Brokerage out of Texas.
What makes them bad? basically they are really unprofessional and incosiderate of the time and energy it takes to run trucking company.
They verbally committed on 3 loads and kept promissing that the paper work was on its way. I never consider a deal done until I sign a contract therefore I kept calling them for the paperwork and they kept telling me its on its way, you should have it any minute now. They went dark for a couple of hrs and finally I called and wanted to speak to a manager. She admitted to me that they went with another carrier. I was fine with that decision but I wanted an explanation why they waisted 5 hrs of my day and my resources for something that could have been easily avoided. Look we all understand that sometimes plans change, just be honest and let the trucker know immediatley of the changes. This broker basically told me "Whatever" and hung up. The same broker called me 3 days later wanting 3 trucks and I said to her "I do have trucks available, but not for you."KB3MMX and VisionLogistics Thank this.
