Flated rates suck!!!

I Agree with some what you are writing about internet truck stop
They changed a lot. And Not to the good
They sold their sole to the devil and further more
They take your complaint pat on the back and try not to laugh @ U While They are talking to u
And promise you that they are going to fix it? or are they
Check them out Do a Load search for all flatbeds out of let just say IL.
I Did and came up with 2100 Loads
MO.? 1037 Loads
Va. ? 1550 Loads
ARE YA KIDDING ME ITS?
Now See how many loads that are More than 500 miles
Guess What? maybe on or two
ARE YA KIDDING ME ITS?
Now that includes the shmuck you now that sit there staring @ the screen all day
Waiting for land star or mercer or any company with lots of loads
AS SOON AS THEY Post the load
HE/SHE "SHMUCKS" will re post the same load/loads for MMMAY BE $50 to $750 Less
Than land star / Mercer post it the load
I have caught the " SHMUCKS" Red Handed many times
Reported them to ITS & You Guessed it Nothing was done
some of the "SHMUCKS" Did not know the difference between a flat and an RGN
according to a land star agent i spoke with
the little girl was trying to talk him in to giving her the RGN load and she can make it fit on a flatbed
How a bout that I guess "SHMUCKS" Trucking companies these days teach their students Not to only
Pass the Freight Hauler Test And The Chicken Hauler Test
But they teach Their "SHMUCKS" How to Haul House Hold freight car hauling and yes
the can teach you how to haul an RGN Load over 100,000. Pound simply by towing Her Flat Bed with Her HONDA Civic
Ya ya ya That's it That's The Ticket.
And to make things even worse It's Not just the little people doing this double brokering
Oh NO watch the board as soon as you are interested in it I mean as soon as the load popup on the board
U Call Guess what? YUP The load was gone
Why is that ya wonder?
The load never existed in the first place that was a BAIT The Broker "SHMUCK" just Checking you chickens
HE/SHE "SHMUCKS" will tell Oh I'm sorry that load was covered But He/She "SHMUCKS" just happen to have this other load
Much better than the first load in fact it only WEIGH 250.000 and its 2000 ft long and 50000 ft wide and the load goes 101 mile
and guess what its a Darn good paying load it pays?? Are you ready?
$1.00 a MILE Boys Now Ya Caint Beet That Can Ya Boy He is lookin out for ya see????
Reported SHMUCKS like that Guess what We KAA KKkAA Kan't Here you
I wonder if internet truck stop actually post these loads or they are Re Brokering them
Recently I was Shocked to find that The TA YES BOYS Truck stops of America
They Have a Brokerage account with Internet Truck Stop Check it out your self MC183070
Nothing wrong with that having to broker a load to a chicken hauler for a Buck a Mile
and then charge the same dipstick $4.5 a Gallon Plus mis·cel·la·ne·ous shop rags etc.
How about that BoyNGirls
YUP yup yup
So Don't Feel Bad MR/MRS Truck driver you are not alone and if you think that only the big bad and the ugly doinit to ya
you are WRONG Big time
Some of these dime dropin SHMUCKS are just a one or two trucks company
We got JABBED $4600 by a one man chicken hauler Because internet truck stop didn't do ya know what "due diligence"?? What's THAT?
Be patient and try not give it up trucking that is do not let the shmucks chase you out.
Good Luck Best wishes

 

What the hell did I just read??

 

Sitting at home in fl. I haul an Rgn and am not moving till a good load comes up was offered a 12foot wide to Hartford at 3.45 a mile I'll sit home

 

:smt101 I think I need to take a nap after that. Made my head hurt.

DRIVERS - SPEND MORE TIME FOCUSING ON HOW TO BUILD BETTER RELATIONSHIPS THAN TRYING TO CATCH SOMEONE TRYING TO MAKE EASY MONEY.

I may not be able to keep 100 flatbed covered all the time but because I have some flatbeds I have my van partners calling me daily looking for flatbeds. Loads that will NEVER be posted on ITS. They would rather give the freight back. Because the feelings you have about brokers on ITS others with loads feel the same way about carriers using ITS.

 

This problem is easy to solve......quit pulling 100% broker freight.....find a direct customer in the close vicinity of home and haul it......pulling broker freight is your own fault

 

Im not trying to sound like a dick but I don't understand pulling broker freight

 

I am new to my own authority. Already I can see why pulling broker freight isn't all bad. It gives me the flexibility to do what I want, when I want. Sure, there is "keeping the customer happy," but when all is said and done I could drop them at any time. Keep in mind they need you, not the other way around. In my little gig right now, there are a few farmers, all close to the house, and already I have 2 different brokers I can haul loads for. One of them got short with me this week and asked me why I don't ever work weekends. I told him I do work weekends, just not when I will end up sitting in a truck stop all weekend. Don't have to be a dick about anything, it is all business. He knows I provide a good service and is constantly pushing more work my way. He now knows he is not the only one I can get loads from around my area. It would take one phone call to haul for his competition. The shipper really likes it when I show up also, EVERY time (3 loads so far) he is complaining of our "new canadians" showing up to load, arriving late to shipper, and their general belly-aching. Apparently they show up and tell him he is going to fax his paperwork to border and do all that for him, not something to me a customer should have to do at all. Unprofessional in my mind. Also he hates their lack of communication. In an earlier thread, I was asking about what I was doing was going behind broker's back or not. This shipper when he finds out the broker has put me on one of his loads calls me directly and asks me if I can load it at X time. Usually the evening before instead of 6 am. I am happy to load it earlier as it is easier on my schedule too. I have since then found out the broker is being paid by the receiver and therefore shipper has no say in who hauls his stuff. Basicly, I kind of like hauling broker freight because I have ties to no-one, I can go wherever I want, whenever I want. The whole reason I got my own authority is so I can see this continent in it's entirety. I understand seasonal rates will dictate where and when I can go somewhere to make money, that is what I am after. Doing the same old thing over and over and over got very boring to me. Ok that is enough rambling.
