And they have like a million different phone numbers listed. With them it's either a really great rate, last minute end of day stuff and they haven't covered it yet, name your price. Or it's not even worth calling on. I've saw the same load posted for 450 on 130mi and another day it'll be 1400 when they're scrambling to cover it.
Are Pepsi Brokers bad in your area?

I mean it's one thing to not accept my price or we don't agree on a price that's okay. But you actually accept it and then turn around and try to make you drop your price it is really unethical and Terrible Bad Business.
At one point I almost wondered if maybe they were butthurt because there was maybe once or twice I really didn't want to do the load, but it was one of those things that if you pay me enough I will. So I basically gave them a price and said no that's the price that's for me to go right now and leave my house at this instant and jump in my truck and drive two hours to get to where you're at that is what the rate will be. I don't remember but I don't think they even gave me those loads anyway.
So it's hard to believe they could be butthurt over that. I don't get butt hurt when they offer me loads that are half of what they should be I just say no thank you and move on.
We'll see how they are in the summer.Speed_Drums and Brettj3876 Thank this. -
Gotcha, I'm not set up with Pepsi Logistics. I don't think I will be either. I do move Coke and other stuff for Red Classic and they are always good. I'm always loaded and unloaded quick at Coke places too but that could just be luck so far. I've just done 5-10 for them maybe.

The Pepsi loads themselves were actually okay and they did pay me it's just these Brokers are insane with trying to pit you against one another and breaking their word and all of that. They are taking the Dirtbag route to making money.
It's like they do everything a broker is not supposed to do. And the funny thing is that it's not like any other business. There's nowhere to complain to. Somewhere within the Pepsi hierarchy they may not look favorably on that but who the heck are you going to talk to?
I think what they do is they accept your offer, or if you accept the rate that they offered, they just wait. Then when someone else calls about the load they say well you know someone else was going to take it for this much but if you do it for less we'll give you the load. Scumbags. And apparently there's always a lowlife carrier that's willing to work cheap and screw another carrier in the process and contribute to this process continuing.
In your area maybe Pepsi is okay I don't know. In the Philadelphia Market they're terrible.86scotty Thanks this. -
I did many loads with Pepsi brokers but the key is wait till afternoon to book it,they will pay almost double if load isn't moving, example loads out the Erie PA to Cincinnati OH pays 900 to 1200 but after 1 pm they bumped to 1700 hell they paid once 2100 for this lane I make them greedy SOB wait.
Speed_Drums Thanks this. -
With Pepsi you can forget about detention or TONU period, I only book maybe one load per year with them
-
Are PEPSI LOGISTIC , LEGIT, IM CARRYING TOILET PAPER, WHAT A HECK IS THIS, IS HARD TO BELIEVE NOW IN EVERYONE
-
Do not haul. Hang up, block #'s, send emails to spam. Pepsi Logistics sucks everywhere. They do not pay detention and they do not answer phone calls after you book the load.
