    If they're paying for it why be a little girl about it?

    Even if they weren't paying for it who cares?

    If you want the load then you take it, if you have a problem with the customer's requirements don't book it.

    Sure, if brokers were honest and told you everything up front but they don't. Half the ones I've dealt with I've caught in lies already, worst is when they lie about appointments and open hours.

    They didn't tell me about the cleaning requirements until after i accepted the load and driver instructions came through. Then 4 trucks ahead of me in line for cleaning on a load that has big fines if late is not fun.

    Many of these brokers are pos liars, just like most of this industry.. lie lie and lie some more. From recruiters, to carriers to brokers the bs and lies is all over this industry.
    At least I've been getting great rates, helps make up for some of new type of bs I've been faced with.

    hopfully over time I can build bonds with the honest ones and solely just work with them.

    You'll quickly learn which ones you can trust and which ones need to be put out to pasture. It's like wading through a pond full of alligators.

    Welcome to the world.

    Now why did you book the load w/o allowing time for contingencies?

    Let me guess, its all about you and to heck with making sure you can fulfill you're customers' needs. Book that freight nice and tight. Don't bother looking at the rate con or checking for yourself if there are any specific requirements the customer has. Book and go..... !@?. the torpedoes... Full speed ahead.

    Why are you busting his balls? This is his first couple of weeks basically doing it all himself. It's certainly different than picking a load on an internal load board with dry van only. He's now running reefer and learning. I guess not everyone was born a super trucker.

    They called me, the load was missed and they needed a team to get it there asap. They said they need it would be difficult to get it there ontime and if I was a little late no big deal.
    Would be nice if they told me everything up front but they didn't. It pays good so I forgive them lol.

    Because he's whining about a free truck and trailer wash.

    Because he seems to think that just because he doesn't understand why something is, then it shouldn't be.

    Because he acts like its some revelation that people lie, cheat, and steal.

    Because he's blaming the broker, for him not doing his due diligence.

    Because if he has that much to learn about running his own show, maybe he shouldn't be running it yet.

    I'd better stop there.
