    The guy that calls you and tries to talk you into loads you already refused, or was refused by your coordinator.

    They love to leave out details like it weighs 48k and you can only scale 46. Needs an 8 foot tarp. Goes 750 miles but can't deliver for 3 days.

    We'll ok, most arent that bad but it still always sounds like a sales pitch when they call.

    It has actually happened. I don't believe it was intentional but still if i hadn't of specifically asked the weight it would have created a big problem. I look at the run down board as the coordinator training board. It's the guys that want to be coordinators but don't know jack yet.

    Monday I scanned in my BOL at 10am and didn't get paid until 430pm.
    Tuesday I sent it in at 1pm and was paid by 130.

    Might have had problems earlier in the day and they stayed late to get caught up...I've heard of that before, and it's greatly appreciated.
