Dave_in_AZ and JonJon78 Thank this.

This is one I finally got talked into. Going to get it tomorrow. Delivers like 5 miles from my house.
I really didn't want to go anywhere, but we do a lot for this agent.
When they are asking please, please at almost $8 mile gotta do what ya gotta do.
It's not Central Point status, but I am working hard.

This week I had a customer out of L.A. wanting to ship to MI. He’s a cheap ### like many but needed it moved. He had approved $5900 and I was able to find a really good truck for $5500. (I know, not the typical 20% heavy hitter profit) I call back to confirm everything and he says cancel the truck, I have a company that can do it cheaper. Little bit later it’s posted with Landstar for $4000. :facepalm:
Long story short he called back the next day and wanted us to move it again. The “other company” had failed. -
Dave_in_AZ Thanks this.

So anyway, after he came back we said, now it’s $6400. He says ok fine. Next morning I find a truck at $5900 and before getting too far ahead of ourselves, we call to confirm. “Oh, um.. the end customer moved this themselves last night. It’s been picked.”. Are you kidding me?
In any event I told my guys that next time he sends anything over to just put minimal effort into it. Essentially firing him as a customer without firing him officially. I’m not going to have my company poorly reflected on due to stupid bs. I’m sure 10 other companies will trip over themselves to deal with him. -

Here’s another tip for you. Instead of concentrating on being negative towards someone because they are doing something that you apparently can’t, you should try and pick those little nuggets of information out that can lead you to similar results.rollin coal, Midwest Trucker and 062 Thank this. -
Don't think I didn't see your thread about cutting another drivers APU wires, shows how much of a tough guy you are.
You have no clue what I do in revenue or anything about my financial background. I don't come on here continously spewing numbers trying to outdo everyone with my nose pointed towards the sky.
I certainly don’t have a big enough backhoe to pick up those nuggets of BS found on the wave of channel 8. Even if I did, I surely wouldn't want them, you can have them tough guy.Dave_in_AZ Thanks this. -
I see three channel 8 cheerleaders have arrived to thank Oscar's post.... LMFAO
Who would have thought?Dave_in_AZ Thanks this.
