    Well my dispatcher got the broker to arrange and pay for an escort so I'm good to go. Serves the broker right for outright lying to me about needing a twic and not requiring it in the rate con.

    Before I got my twic, I had to go into Matson in Long Beach. Checked in at the shack out front and was told to go back and sit in the truck, wait for the escort. About 45 minutes later the guy pulls up and in we go. No big deal.

    Well I dropped the trailer at rc transportation in Carson and they take it in. Now I get to stress about my trailer getting damaged. Before the guy left I took a video all around my trailer hooked to his truck.

    That's common there (them taking it in). Those guys do it all day. Before I got my twic it was how I picked up cans. I wouldn't worry much. Heck they even strap n chain it for you.

    Luckily it's just an unload so I don't have to worry about them strapping/chaining. I just stress over someone else having my $33k trailer.
