<p>[QUOTE="Charlie42, post: 12216026, member: 320021"]Well, on a 21 day run, it happened twice. First time was a broker named Oasis. Screaming at me to make sure I was getting to Sacramento on time for pickup, which I did…and doors are locked at the facility. Broker texted and said “client just cancelled the job, not my fault”. So that put me on an 800 mile deadhead for the next contract. And the second to last contract, broker put in completely wrong dimenisons. Load ended up needing permits and a lowboy, he was off by 30,000lbs and 4 feet of height (would have put any flatbed over 15’ high). So then it was another 650 mile dead to the last contract that went fine and got me back home. That broker was Ship a Car Inc on that one (wanted a tank to be shipped, not a car<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Anyway, I’m filing claims against their bonds and see if I have any luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
