    Typical dirtbag broker move. You gave him longer than I would've. No rate con, no agreement. Nothing is set in stone until I get an acknowledgement after I send back a signed rate con. He's a raging loser for trying to backcharge you when he didn't live up to his end of the bargain. He's lucky he even had a truck willing to wait like you did. He never had the load that's why he couldn't give a rate con initially. Double brokered I bet. Shocker!

    Look at the load descriptions. Every now and then, it says "No Landstar". I've never seen one that says "No TQL", or "No King of Freight".

    That says a lot by itself.

    I spent 8 years in the system driving for an agent in one of his trucks. I have seen the back side of LS they are a bunch of dirty dogs.

    I tracked one agents postings for a month. Now there could be more that don't hit the board....
    BUT
    at 7%, I figured by the time he pays the 7 gals in the office, his kid ( GM ), and himself $200, office, computers, internet service, he'd lose right around $10K a month, just to break even.

    There are plenty that do not hit the board I saw that when I was there. Its was the good ole boy network on 'roids back then..

    One example, everyone that knows the system knows how bad Laredo is or was. I never sat down there always had something to get out of Laredo usually before I even got down there was already set up by one of the boss man's friends. We in turn helped them get out of our area with loads that went unposted.
