    You come on here and want others to commiserate with you. Whether the carrier is right or wrong has no bearing on the outcome of the problems. They aren't going to change. Someone on here agreeing with you changes nothing. The problem is with the sale of the load. You know there are going to be problems yet you put all the sell on the front end and leave nothing for the back end. If you did,the things you complain about would be a non issue.

    In the produce world you can only offer a finite amount of information, loads change. There is no way to make it a non issue. You never know when a load is going to change, that is the point. To find out how to make the changes with the least amount of resistance to continue on either end.

    Don't try to tell me about produce. Can you not understand the art of selling it cheaper on the front end and giving more on the back end? Do that and it is a non issue.

    Why would I not bring up produce? It is the reality of the beast.

    Of course I can, I am a broker. You are always trying to get the best price on the front. We dont keep our fingers crossed that the load will change. I wish we did know which loads were going to change, then it would be a non issue. That way we could work out the terms before hand. I'm not going to do that on every load or carriers will get spooked on the load.

    Well it's obvious that you know everything. Yet you're the one on here complaining about carriers. Easy fix for it,we've done it for years and very few of our loads ever have a carrier problem. But as I said,you already know it all but still complain. Good luck with it.

    Yeah, I know everything, that is why I am getting input from carriers that help me out. Debating isnt saying you are right about everything. It is to find what problems there are in attempts to fix them, you seem to think those problems are black and white, which they are not.

    BookingYou19, you need to realize that not every answer you receive on this is going to be "helpful" in your eyes. The arguing, bickering, and insulting STOPS, it serves no purpose and keeps good knowledgeable people from responding.

    One broker arguing with another broker, priceless . Great debating tactic , whatever any one says declare it has no value . This disdain for the group you may be working with for the next 25 years or longer , will make it seem twice as long . Wish you can find peace .

    I understand not everyone is going to agree, or think it is helpful. doesnt mean I am going to stop debating my point. I really enjoy the opposite points of view.

    To be clear, I am the only one bickering, insulting and arguing?
