Load Boards

Yes, it's common to show times or windows for p/d as well

 

Most loads does not have times listed, only day...You have to call to get details.

 

Yep ^^^^. @cgililand, keep in mind the info listed is whatever the broker listed. Some put basically no info and some put almost everything you need. Just have to call/email to get the full story.

 

What one do you have? We have the cheapest one. Some brokers list pertinent details others do not

 

Brokers are really bad with geography. Load could be 300 miles away from place listed as pickup.

 

Lot of times, guys that are doing this are doing one of two things: They're trying to obfuscate the pick up from carriers/brokers who might be trolling the boards looking for either new leads or their contacts throwing up freight. The other circumstance you see this frequently with is if the broker is trying to throw a wide net to try and get someone to at least talk about a load with them.

Neither of them are super cool, but they happen. And occasionally, a customer provides us with a completely wrong pick/drop location. One of the sales guys at one of my customers is notoriously bad at this. I'll get a call from the logistics guy who I actually consider a personal friend, and he'll exasperatedly tell me, "Yo, PPDCT. Rich wants you to get a quote from us... to Texas." We both get a laugh at that.
