    @Scooter Jones ...Here's a shocker....It actually happens in Real Estate too. Usually done by the seller (not the broker) unless the owner is a realtor too.

    Yeah DAT is never going to crack down on that. Do you know what % of the total revenue from that site comes from brokers? Sorry but we're paying customers too. My office uses 2 subscriptions and I'm pretty sure my whole company uses 20+. How many do you use?

    I agree. If anything I'm to honest. I'm always upfront with my dealings and only wish i could count on our business associates to be the same. If i screw up and oversleep I'm not gonna blame it on a flat tire..i might not be upfront about being up an extra 4 hours talking my wife, I'll probably say something to the effect of "i dont want to get into what happen so lets just call it me dropping the ball" but i won't say sorry woke up to a flat tire. Why don't i? Cause its only a matter of time before i actually do wake up to a flat tire and want to be believed when it happens.

    I'm guessing you're using DAT the same way we are then.

    Some of the agents do. The shady ones. But not all. Not even the majority.

    It would be if i was one of the hundreds of landstar agents that practice those tactics. Not all landstar agents pull that shady #### but a good portion of them do. As a carrier i learned to be very careful with which agency i was dealing with. Which is a shame since a few of them were practically the perfect broker from the carriers perspective.
