    I do have a complaint. Or rant ?How can a broker in all honesty post a load for a step deck call it a partial, and then tell you you need to be there at a certain time for your crane appointment?

    The problem is the pay! It's partial pay you get partial service and it gets there when it gets there!

    Crane expense is up there, if they're hiring it in from the outside & trying to co-ordinate the loading, I can see it.....

    Tell them to only partially use the crane. Keep expenses down.

    Or tell them you don't need no stinking crane.

    Sorry hit the post button before I was finished fat fingers small phone.
    Brokers list what should be full loads as partials
    To cut costs but never had one tell me there is a crane appointment. That was a first it was kinda funny now I think about it.
    Should have laughed at him I guess.

    yeah, if there are no other parts to the partial and if the problem is the pay why bother yourself with it? unless there's another something missing.
