New Freight Agent

The story of my life. The number of calls I get for stuff that isn't curtain vans when I need those is hilarious. Dude if it could go in a dry van do you think I'd bother to post up for a curtain? There are like 200x more of the dry vans than there are curtains.

 

Or Conestogas calling on over-width loads. "Will this fit in a Conestoga?" "Uh. What part of, 'it's nine feet wide' did you miss in the post and the description of the load I just gave you?"

 

If you think that's a 1 way street, it's just because you don't have both sides of the picture.

 

But if you don't call, they can't sell you on the load, despite the crappy characteristics of it.

"Call for price"

 

My favorite from your guys' side of the aisle is the carriers who post "lots of miles and $$$$ only!" Like, at that point, I know I wouldn't use that guy anyway.

 

Lulz.

THIS IS RRRROOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNY AT DID PATCH. HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

Hi. You have a load posted from Austin to Phoenix. Picks on 3rd delivers the 5th.

YESSSSSSS I SEE IT. BUT THE WIFE FORGOT TO POST THAT IT NEEDS A LIFTGATE.
LET ME CALLLLLLLLLL THEM AND SEE IF THEY REALLY NEED A LIFTGATE. I'LL CALL YOU BACK.

Why me God?

Phone rings. THIS IS RRRROOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNY AT DIDPATCH. THEY REALLY NEED A LIFTGATE.

Thank you for trying sir.

 

Exactly! I'm very busy wearing numerous different hats running my one man show. The last thing I need to deal with is time wasters of such variety.
