    I prefer not to say, but it's in the Top #3. Considering how much sales support we get, it's worth it.

    If you were asking me I have my own. We mostly are a trucking company but do also have a brokerage. They work well together having assets and capability to farm out.

    Let's see...

    3 shipments booked, 3 phone calls @ $50 = $150.

    3 calls at $100 = $300.


    So on and so on. What kind of job can take up to 1 hour to handle(3 phone calls) and make $300 an hour??

    Got to love those that think a low margin is acceptable. First problem and you're out of business. Then they will complain about not being paid.

    $75,000 bond is the reason why.

    If someone can't afford the bond then they don't have enough money to operate on.
     
    PPLC, Thouren and Ruthless Thank this.

    I agree. It takes good credit to get the bond down payment down.
