As said before - that's not fair or reasonable.
I've had Eastern European agents go out of their way to make things right and communicate well - like I said - the one agent that is pawning off CHR loads is up front on communications, but it's just not her freight. When I want double what CHR wants to pay, she don't have much swing.
OK. So - disclosure here - I'm a darned immigrant. Not that it makes me kinfolk to any other immigrants in this country.
What I see with the LS system, is there is a huge pool of agencies that apparently outsource to internet based "Agents" anywhere the internet reaches. Their main goal I would imagine, is to buy bread and potatoes and food for the goat. Sadly.
I VERY RARELY engage with them on the platform side, too much can go wrong before blast off - on the van side, I guess I could involve them.
Guess it's a lot about relationships. And not discarding one because of an accent, or perceived skin color. or whatever. I'm hardly one to judge.
Can't say the LS system is a better one than when I joined 7+ years ago now. My filter mesh has become tighter, tis all.

So I had to order new permits, broker was upset that I charged $250 for no go on pilot car, $295 for extra permits, and $1000.00 for tarp fee. He also had to email me and customer service to the freight changes before I would haul the load.
So I’ll stand by my previous statement, find a direct shipper or take more Tylenol.Blue jeans, Another Canadian driver, T.Rucker and 2 others Thank this. -
In the past when I needed broker freight to get home I would look at Landstar first and hauled a lot for them. Now their rates are some of the lowest. Right there with DSV.
