    Yup. If they’ll talk to just anybody on a cold call: they’ll talk to ANYbody on a cold call, nothing will ever be good enough or cheap enough.

    You have to be sound like you're in a big office, with a lot of background noise, all while sitting at your kitchen table in your underwear and a bathrobe.

    It's been my experience the cheaper the load the more demanding they are, better off bouncing than wasting your time.

    Or fast enough. As in "if you guys can't get that load there tomorrow I'll call somebody who can !"
    Our response..."good, let me give you the phone numbers of our competitors"".

    I don’t go that far lol
    I bet near anybody could find someone cheaper than me, they wont find anyone else with better performance though.
    I don’t know peoples names that are Underperformers.

    But I’m not a broker, I don’t need to know who I don’t know.

    Good things aren’t easy, and easy things aren’t good.

    Taking care of the carriers isn’t good advice and is a wast of money. It’s all about market. Carriers could care less about you or your business. If they can make 10 bucks more with someone else, they will.

    Interesting take for your 4th post here. Enlighten us with who you are, how much experience you have and just why in the hail you are on a trucking forum?

    Is it possible that TQL didn't give you your 23rd birthday off so you're throwing a tantrum?

    Not really. It was an honest question. It deserves an honest and timely answer.
