    They automatically pay the first checked bag and will reimburse at least one more.

    You realize that this is aimed at people in dead zones right? How many guys from Southern Florida come on here moaning about not being able to be hired or or find a local gig that pays an acceptable wage? Would I do it? No, I'd move to where I could get a job. But if it works for them, who are we to judge?

    had a good exchange today..

    broker calls me etc etc and tells me he normally moves these for $1700- $1900. I said yeah thats not happening.
    He then says the best he can do is $2500. I told him there are similar loads on the board paying $2900- $3200.
    He said he can't go any higher.... "can you come down.. I can't pay anymore I'd be losing money on the load."
    I said sooo instead you want me to come down so I'd be losing money hauling a cheaper load?

    Baffled with a come back took him a few seconds.... "those loads might weigh more, have extra time etc etc".
    I said maybe or they are good and I can get even more money out of them being they haven't been moving them at that price.

    Now he was starting to get pissed.
    I told him look just be around what others loads are posted for and we're good I'll work with you.
    He wouldn't budge, told him thanks for your time but this ain't gonna work.

    He calls me back later willing to go up another $200, said sorry I'm booked on this same lane now for $4,000... then I hear "click" lmao!
