Let us all feel bad for the scumbag freight agents. A moment of silence please lmfao.

 

I think it's important at the moment as well, when dealing with said scumbag agents, and you know they are taking it up the ###, to tell them " Yes I can help you with that."

That's why we are all here, to help. Making money is a secondary condition.

 

The load I listed a few posts ago, here is epitome of the scumbag agent. The dude really has his panties in wad now because he owes me a few hundred in detention.
They knew this before I left the shipper.
So, I get to the receiver, the receiver drives up to me on his forklift " Man I just called them like 15 minutes ago, and ask if there was any way we could get you here early. We really need this stuff, and I have people standing around. They told me not only could they not be here early, that no way you'd make it before 5 or 6. "

Appointment was 1400 / I arrived at 1115 / Scumbag told him 1700 or 1800.

" I'll have you unloaded quick, take dock 4."
" Thank you sir."
Call in arrival. Oh great gland hand, blah, blah. Not so fast. Where's my detention pay.
" Oh we'll call shipper, blah, give us a few, blah."
"OK."

So empty at 1300. World is a better place. Call in empty call, different person everytime. " OK thank you." Not so fast. Go in and tell the boss I want my detention so I can scan my BOL's.

Not sure if it was a supervisor, or the actual agent, but he's mad. " You want detention???? Well I'd like my money I gave you for the deadhead. ( It's in writing, never gonna happen, LS will make him pay )

This is the best part.

"You weren't supposed to deliver early. They will count that against us. "
OK. " Ummmm. I never set foot in the building. Your customer was literally taking the stuff out of the truck putting it on the shelves. "
" That might be want they want. But the shipping department will count it against us".

What? Do these scumbags even listen to their own lines of BS?

I've a notion to write the customer describing the situation and asking would they rather have the product in the truck, their employees doing nothing, or in the hands of the consumer. Wonder what the share holder would say?

There were 4 loads that had to be shipped. Mine was early. Just knowing the lay of the land, one was on time that left like 8 hours before me / or early. One was way late. Way late. Wonder how there shipping department likes all the extra labor to unload it??? It might still be sitting in the dock. One is still on the board right now, at a rate that no one is going to get excited about, because of where it's going.

Scumbag broker never bothered to call for an ETA for two reasons. 1) He didn't want to talk about the detention. 2) His minions are tards.

Thus are these situations when you pretend that God is your God, but the truth is that money is your God.

And it all started with his pleas ( In writing ) for help. I held up my end. Always do. Should I do him a favor now? This is business. I go to church for forgiveness & prayer. I move freight to make money.

 

Freight brokers speaking of morals. I have woken up Earl because he has never heard a line of BS like this before.

 

Hope you saved some of that big money to give to the lowly drivers so as to fulfill your contractual obligations.

 

No, I had one beer last night when I watered the yard. Just hate it when people try and blow sunshine up your ###, and tell you it's just a sea breeze.
