Should have went to their bond on 7/21 (30 days)

 

The reviews sure are entertaining.

 

Sucks for those out. I ran a lot for them in the past. I'm checking credit on every broker now, even the ones I use often.

 

And they’re still out here plugging away. I’m amazed they still have people driving for them.

 

Still posting on the losd board heavy. Probably 20 loads in Billings when I looked Thursday.

 

The fantastic reviews still are flowing in.

Don't know how anybody could dare haul a load for them.
