    Exactly. I would think that "bidding" on a load would basically be no different than purchasing something on eBay. Everything is there for you to see that way you can bid accordingly.

    That I didn't ask, so you could possibly be correct. But even more so if a customer is giving a set price why can't the agent then request a photo? That way everyone that's involved knows what's going on, what to expect etc etc. No hidden BS you know?

    You also have to remember Landstar has over 10,000 trucks and I think it's actually over 12,000 now. We have maybe 2500?

    Supertrucker Dan did a video talking about how he feels drivers and agents have a big disconnect....it's an interesting perspective and video.

    Don't recall. I seen a load listed in CA for them and recall you saying you have hauled them. They want pictures taken of the load after its secured etc etc. Lots of instructions listed. This is the first time I've seen them listed on the load board. Was just wondering the rate listed isn't nearly what I recall reading that they pay.

    Depending on where you are and if it's an emergency shipment or scheduled maintenance swap out shipment the rate will be all over the place. I've seen them pay holy crap i got to get this load kind of money and I've seen them pay holy crap i can't believe someone would haul that kind of money.
