Called about a load today pick up tomorrow sanford nc straight through to gainesville ga.
ask how big is it? answer: I don't know but it's legal.
ask how much does it weigh? answer: less then 40,000 I say it's posted for 10,000 well ok it's
less than 10,000 then.
ask how do you pay? answer the "great classic" : well 30 days but we been in business since the 50's
we have to have original paperwork.
Lets see we have a broker who knows next to nothing about a load and he's covered all the bases unless it's a M-1 tank you're hauling
and he is going to strecth out paying you as long as he can.
Yes inded this makes you want to run out and book a saturday load and drive straight through? NOT.
This is why I think most brokers suck.
Some brokers are stupid

I see your stupid broker and counter you with this: Have a 40' HC posted from CA to UT. Driver calls and accepts the load, pay him more for permits because he's not a SD and it makes him OD. Send the trip sheet to his FM and get a phone call 30 minutes later that he can't haul the load because its a container... Seriously?!?!?!
aiwiron Thanks this. -

depends on how high that cube is.
i've hauled containers and i pull a flat.
i'm not understanding why a flat would make it OD though and a SD wouldn't. unless his flat was 96 instead of 102 -
LSAgentOZR Thanks this.

Yep, that's exactly what it was. It put him at 14', which he said he could handle and could permit. We had one additional permitted and moved without trouble. This particular customer got SD and RGN mixed up and refused to allow us to ship the 40HC's on 53SD like we needed and wanted to from the beginning. It was flats or nothing... not even transloading to vans.

It would have put him at 14'6" on a flat and legal out west is 14'. Most likely a problem was getting in the port for the can in the first place. (Tractor age)
