C'Mon man

I worked at ADM for years at a flour mill we would have customers cancel loads simply because they ordered to much for the weekend and needed to cancel a load or two for Monday but we wouldn’t find out sometime until the truck was in route and dispatch would have to call the driver to bring it back to the mill these were company trucks.It wasn’t uncommon at all for loads to cancel and postpone it

 

Seen that movie. Always the same ending.

 

I've been doing this for 11 years as an owner operator and not leased on to anyone. Been driving trucks since 1999. I've seen my fair share of no good broker's and believe me you don't make it this long in the game if you don't know what your doing.

 

This is up there with the top five stupidest things I've ever read on this forum.

Broker screws a trucker, and your only explanation is it must've been the years of bad service the trucker gave.

LMFAO....sure.

 

He was referring to another post I made. I had a reload in Baltimore going home, there was 20 guys waiting to check in so I knew this was going to take hours and hours to get loaded. Knowing the seaport, the broker and the receiver were all not going to pay detention, trust me I've been there, I called the broker and told him the truck was broken and couldn't pick up. I was home in 3 hours instead of waiting to get loaded all day.

 

Dang the broker got over on you majorly, and it ain't even your fault.

 

Don't leave us hanging what did the broker say?? Or did you just hear the phone drop?

 

Let me search my email real quick and find it.
The shipper was Hoover Wood Treated, and the broker was Online Freight Services, I think. I moved a lot that year, the broker said,

"You did?, oh that's strange, let me call my customer" I didn't hear from him again and it was a short haul, delivered it later that day

 

So what do you do if the broker says good for you but the customer cancelled I have nothing to do with it any more?
