    Odd no one could find a funny clip of MASH to post,
    Because it's the kind of show to sit in a recliner and nap while it's on

    Yes, I'm evil, I basically asked for the impossible.
    I'm sure they're googling funny mash clips and getting no results

    Anyone else find it ironic that the very same people that complain they can't get a a good rate from brokers are here refusing to provide the service their customers want?

    Trucking is a service industry business. The longer you refuse to offer the service your customers want, the liner you will continue to struggle to command a good rate.

    Trade secret:
    I take video of every stop off I make, video pickups offsite of customers property showing product/quantity/condition/ securement and email it with time stamp.
    Every BOL gets captured and verified with customer.
    Communication is key.

    "But I want to sit in the truck and complain! It's someone else's fault I don't make any money!"

    One company I worked for used to track our truck locations. If we parked at the same spot more than 3 times it would hotspot the location. Our fleet manager pulled up the map one day and found that just about every bar in town was marked o_O

    Coyote Logistics tried to track my phone without my permission. I was a company driver pulling one of their brokered loads. My phone received a text informing me that I was enrolled in the tracking program.

    I was furious! After many calls to them, as well as my company I was driving for I was able to determine it couldn't work on my phone. I was still pretty hot about it though considering I never agreed nor did anyone even consider ASKING me for my permission before attempting such an invasion of privacy.

    Use a landline that forwards to your cell if you want to stop the warrantless spying these people are attempting. It's downright despicable.
     
    Ooops Thanks this.
