Cancel load

What charge are you talking about? You need to be a bit more detailed.

 

they’re not worried how you get there, it tells them your undependable. i usually don’t take another load til mine is loaded. Never know what’ll happen.
If it’s one I haul a ton I know it won’t fall through, like last week to get back home a guy had 3 loads, I took all because they were coming back homeward, and enroute. same guy so he knew if something would’ve happened

 

What are negative points?

you canceled the load, so how is this not your fault?

what do you mean?

are you the company or just a driver?

if you are a driver, who cares what the company gets in make believe points.

if you are a company, then stop depending on crap brokers for work, start with making a do not haul list and start supporting transparency in this industry.

 

Little reality check….you commit your committed. No matter what falls apart in the middle you already said you’d be there. It’s the pressure of trying to pre plan get ahead of the game. See you didn’t take the load on the pre tense that #### went right you took it. It’s not on the uninvolved broker in the middle who canceled on you. It’s on YOU. It’s time this whole god #### truckin industry put their ####in big boy panties on and become ####in truckers…..bunch a #### ####### any more

 

They have more time on their hands and resources to organize and create tools that give them a competitive advantage upstream from small carriers in the spot market.

But as each new tool and strategy rolls out within a short period of time compliance drops and everything reverts back to price driving the weight of every decision.

Look at Freightguard, realistically it's mostly used as a boogeyman tactic to scare carriers because behind the scenes it's littered with nitpicking. On the other hand the same vindictive nitpicking agents are becoming more aware that you can instantly nuke a carrier by using the current trendy catchphrase "holding a load hostage".

Eventually, the bad actors will squeeze all the juice out of that overused claim until it's no longer significant and the cycle will continue with the next "crisis" and catchphrase.

This only works on this side of the market and on the other side anything below double brokering as a carrier doesn't matter because brokers lose their competitive advantage and become price takers like carriers are now.

So these guys have a mechanism to screw us on this side but we haven't yet implemented a mechanism to screw them when the ball is in our court...

Time to brainstorm.
