    Guess what, the broker today screwed up again! Different broker again. Gave me the wrong pick up number and my shipment has already gone!

    You ##### a lot you know that? Welcome to life, not everything goes perfectly, in fact it rarely goes anywhere close to perfectly.

    You should call the broker and tell them that once, I bet you go on the "don't use this guy if pays more 50 cents a mile list" in a hurry.

    Don't hold back 6wheeler.........

    Point out these less than stellar brokers, When you have a half dozen brokers with 1 shipment to move that you confirmed with...Shipper bumps out the P/U at the precise time you booked the load with the competing broker, So you have 2 brokers with the same p/u number and unfortunately- You got the Chyt end of the stick. Cause the "other" truck got the load first.

    They Don't care- And Never Will- You can't run your business RELYING on brokerages...Their gonna kill you either Physically or Monetarily.

    It's always easier to blame others and so difficult to look in the mirror and question oneself as to what could've been done differently.......

    I told the one on Monday that "I'm. Not waiting around here for 2 hours free. I'm going back to the truck stop"

    I told the one last month "How about I take this shipment back to where it came from"
    Guess what. They paid an extra $800 to keep me

    And the one in Norfolk that didn't want to load my truck, well I called the receiver and told the purchasing department that they will not receive there shipment because the shipper didn't have enough help to load the truck.
    They thanked me and said they will be asking for a refund.

    Brokers are a dime a dozen everywhere. I'm not new to this. If they screw up I let them know about it.
