mercer transportation

What reason would an agent (that is paid on a commission ) have to refuse to call and solicit business?, could be the customer is not willing to pay the price.

I'm good, how about yourself? Am I staying busy, well it's trucking so.......

 

Can't complain. Been a good year so far. Not as easy as last year but still hitting my revenue goals.

 

You get $3.00 out of Miami, Florida here at Mercer on legal loads... Atleast According to what you post on the Schneider thread here... That's easy money Spyder. Your my Idol... ( Not Really )

 

Think about it, this is usually very busy construction time but the weather had not been favorable for construction work. No one is building right now. No one is doing much of anything outdoors because the weather has been horrible. This effects trucking. The market favors shippers and brokers right now cause there's more competition for the freight. We're not going to see overall good rates until this changes. The agents don't want to waste their time putting in low bids cause they know you guys aren't going to haul it.

You won't do any better going to another company unless you are going to haul specialized freight.

 

Ya ya ya. Just cause you never see a good rate means they don't exist. You called me a liar and i gave you the agent that had the load so you could verify it. But something tells me you couldn't be bothered to take 30 seconds and reach out to the agent about these loads.

Oh and get it right, where i said i got 3 a mile was a thread about rates being discussed by independents, owner ops leased to a carrier and a broker or two. We were discussing freight rates, not ttt.

 

Hey man don't you know better than to bring facts and common sense into an emotional rant.

 

Has nothing to do with this. The agents are just lazy. Haven't you been reading this thread? Lol. The agents know what the drivers will haul for and if they can't get the rates they aren't going to try.

You quit that. Come along here trying to make sense . Who does that?

 

Funny. Right above this I got on to a driver about the same thing. Lol

 

Ya i saw that. How you been? Get any fishing in this spring?
