Famous quotes from brokers

ohh common. post it.

 

Ive got a bridge to sell you.

There is a town called Boring Maryland. A actual town. I think the 6 ton wooden span was replaced over the railroad tracks by now.

I don't care for everyone can run it but you.

Great. Put them into the truck I'll grab lunch. Or do it yourself.

Come back with a damaged truck? Like a seriously grenaded rear end or a burnt engine? They rag on me. You are not a professional etc etc etc.

Sometimes these tractors go up and they are always scary. I remember one punched his block Pan blew downwards followed by shrapnel and this BOOOM.

This is hard to explain so bear with me.

Prior to that engine going out, many of us was pretty quietly listening to this driver rant, bellyache and cry.. cry is not a strong enough words what words he can get of his choking tears.

BLBOOOOM!

30 minutes of silence (Not really but those of you know the Angels might take issues.

Then this outragously sailor trained profanity blew the radio down for 200 miles around. When the engilsh failed him and he's flapping his lips trying to get the words out but was so angry that his command of the spoken english got really bad.

(Shouldnt someone baby sit this thing?)

I hoped to be empty and back that way to see if there is any way to help him out a little but Dispatcher sent me another way.

 

Posted a truck empty in Sylmar, CA whiling to go to Midwest. Phone rings 7 am. TQL. I have a load , must be picked up by 8.30 am in Torrance, CA , if you will be late they will charge you $300 late fee . I say sorry but I can't. He says why, It's only 40 miles. I wanted to explain him what is taking I-405 south at 7-9am but he disconnected

 

I think its a load of illegal emigrants passed border 2 days ago near Del Rio. You just open the doors and they will walk away...

 

So in other words you don't give a &^%$ about what is in that truck going "There" but you cannot wait to see a old Dispatcher lather up for the hot date with the high paying load waiting to be shipped out.

Gee thanks boss. YEEESH...

 

Broker lying about the weight:

It's only 25k lbs pays (what ever he says)

Heard this one today from a broker. "These rates are awful. I can't believe THEY'RE expecting you to run for this little money?"
