    Hey guys we are new to doing this on our own and we are looking at a load from Pam Transport but the guy says this…

    I can go ahead and sent it but my carrier compliance team might not be able to get you active on our system until first thing Monday morning. If you'd be okay with that I can type up a temporary ratecon for you and we'd have the actual ratecon to you on Monday morning. Let me know what you think

    So we aren’t setup with them, I’m just worried about trusting this cause I wanna get paid, thanks for any help

    Take another load. Good reason to get set up with as many brokers as possible beforehand. Find a load you want, call and done.

    A temporary ratecon is the same as no ratecon. Sometimes a permanent ratecon is the same as no ratecon.

    It’s a good faith gesture. You won’t actually get the Load, till they get You Set up first. Then they’ll send You the real Ratecon.
