    Everything on the spot market/DAT is kind of hot garbage, you just have to know how to play the game, and a little luck helps too.

    But I keep mostly getting my rate and sticking to my high standards. No TQL, No DC's, No food whatsoever.

    JB Hunt did the same thing. That's why when they invited me back after the big purge I never signed back up. First reason when I saw Highway was involved and second, I would have gone through all that B.S. just to get kicked off for not hauling enough loads. I actually like this trend. At least they're basically saying "We only want to work with carriers that we have good long-lasting relationships with"
     
    TheLoadOut Thanks this.

    They won't think of anything. AI will do it for them. We're going down a road of no human contact whatsoever which means no one to solve problems quickly. Only the luckiest will get the freight.

    I give it 1 year and you pretty much won't be able to get a real person on the phone anymore with any brokerage bigger than a mom n pop.

    This a wild day on the load board I thought I booked a COD load , got a text and have not received pick up locations or drop off, Freedom Auto Transport out of Fla. a constitution bucket. I called they said they don’t have me in the system. I probably lost other loads while waiting. I sent a picture of it on the load board to the owner of the company along with the load ID number. Probably booked for less a not bother to call back.
