    I see a few of those sit and scramble loads on the company side, usually late Monday or Friday. Quite a few this year.

    One thing that helps is the prime app "loads" screen can show you a "preplan" before you get any messages/dispatch about it. But, it can probably disappear just as easy. The time is good for trip planning at least.

    I disagree there not that #### busy , yes most have a lot of drivers on there board but there's no excuse for ignoring a driver or just being plain lazy, I've witness fm sleeping on tha job and ignoring drivers on purpose especially those weekend guys they could care less smdh

    ask your selves this! are they working you in the middle of the month,end of the month, or the start of the month? do you know the difference?. either there making money off the truck for them. or there making money for both of you. I wonder if anyone know how many weeks in a year are recognized by billing cycles? figure that out. you'll start learning what your getting screwed on. I owned a small trucking business. sold it this past friday. i found someone dumber then me to buy it.

    Freights not slow for me. Where did this slow freight nonsense come from?
