If the everything played out exactly as the OP said it did, I agree that it's a dumb and scummy thing to do by the broker and is a great way to...
I can tell you as a broker that the market is definitely getting tighter and we are paying more on lanes currently. Nothing like the wild and...
Hey guys, I saw this article as well and was curious, what does insurance generally cost as is, and what would it cost if this bill actually passed?
If I had to guess, I wouldn't say it's some game they are intentionally playing with you. Rather that the agent is probably disorganized and/or...
Assuming everything you said is true they pulled a dbag move on you guys by saying the appointment was on Saturday. I noticed that you didn't let...
I think many trucking companies focus on the challenges and pain points of dealing with brokers because it's right in front of them and easy to...

Typically if I'm going to file a FG report on 411, it's because the carrier either did something shady (IE held a load hostage, lied to us or...
PPDCT is correct, that is what I was referencing. They did alot more business in Q4 of 2019 than Q4 of 2018, but they also lost a lot more...
