My first fight with a broker as an Owner Operator

It was booked by someone else before he got it. They canceled the load and the rate con never got changed. happens when you get a last minute load a lot of times when time is of essence.

 

Oh man, I would have been squeezing the cajones of that broker until they pop and diamonds fall out then. That's on them. They were paying the other guy $695...gimme $1000 and I will get it covered for you. Ft worth to El Paso is what, 600 miles? The other guy probably found something better and told them to stick it.

 

It wont be the last broker on your "desperate times only" list. I don't have my own authority, yet. May never, but my uncle has his and he gets messed around a lot. But he also only has a hotshot setup.

 

I agree and I am the type of person that holds a grudge for decades. It was really hard to let go on stuff like that but the business side of me understands it is a waste of time.

 

Use to happen a lot. I have not seen it happen that much this year since rates are crap.

 

Par for the course. Not worth the fight in my opinion.

 

Hola this is hola logistics.

 

You are Hola Logistics?

 

But you never sent them back the 500$ signed ratecon, yes you had the strikethrough ratecon, but thats not valid unless they countersign the strikeouts.

Read fine print, if NOTHING states 75$ tonu, then thats 75 better than you otherwise are actually entitled to.

If it says 150$, you have a leg, albeit very shaky to stand on
