    From what I understand Central Dispatch is a professional load board, legally.
    They are allowing non brokers to post loads, is it legal I'm asking. Is DOT or FMCSA saying anything about it.
    If we get rid of non brokers on CD that would help a little.

    I agree, CD should be only for honest broker who should be paid by % from a load. Not be able to skim from the top an bottom!!! There should be money for everyone including a suffering trucks who don't get their oil change on time bcs of a GREED!!!!

    We need to make trucking business great again!!!

    Good night everyone

    I have worked with Tammy before. She is one of the most foul - mouthed, rude women I have ever heard of. This is easy, just don't take it. Leave that load sitting there. She will have to do one of a couple of things: 1, Raise the price and cut her take of the profit down. 2, explain to her customer why she cant move it. Which is very embarrassing by the way. Or 3, take money out of her pocket to make this work. Al three outcomes are good for us. Problem is that there are a lot of new cars going into the Chicagoland area and truckers looking for a load to get out. She is hoping that someone will wanna haul this for ease of one pick one drop

    No. $2900 is fair. That's $3.13 per mile. Everyones bottom line is different. No body is ever going going to agree on an exact rate because everyones cost and profit margin is different. However whats happening with Metrogistics and on CD is getting way out of hand

    There is absolutely no piece of equipment that has 9 car capacity that you should be taking $3/mi loads with, sorry. That's 5-6 car trailer money

    A vehicle is a vehicle. Should pay the same as if it were being hauled by a three car or a nine car. Wanna make more money? Haul more cars
