    ...what do you think they don't like about you drivers. Just curious, I always hear why SOME drivers have issues with brokers (they are fair weathered and lowball), but if I were to ask them what they don't like about drivers, what do you think they'd say?

    Considering my observations at any truck stop restaurant, driver lounge, or customer dock... I'd say 'ignorant' is right up at the top. I can't imagine the fun some of these brokers go through trying to piece together the various grunts and sighs to form enough of a sentence to figure out what it is exactly is being asked of them.

    "What a greedy SOB. How am I supposed to win this bid if he wants to to cover all his costs AND be paid for his tolls and his deadhead and his meals and his layover and his waiting time and his loading time and his unload time?"

    Ignorants, arrogants, unreliable and they have to cast blame on someone else. Meantime they are the ones falling pray of the TQLs of this word, and going broke one little load at a time...

    In all honesty, since most of these brokers know nothing about Trucking I would say they would probably list a myriad of things which they dislike about drivers.
