That is what you get for going cheap.

Who was the discount carrier??
Hope they stick with you guys that can give them the service

 

i had a boss that lost a customer cause they said his rates were too high. within a month the customer was wanting him to haul for them again but for the rate he was cut for; he told them if they wanted him to haul it, his rates just shot up another .50cpm & fsc another .15cpm to what he was charging before they took the loads from them. they gave in & every time someone tried to undercut him they never got a load cause the customer knew already no one could give them the service he was

 

Just desserts.

 

As Mick Jagger said once : "You can't always get what ya want"

 

My company has been undercut a few times and lost the business to a cheaper carrier out of the mill we are based at and we always got it back within a few months. You do indeed get what you pay for.

 

I keep hearing of people getting undercut lately and losing their deal and then the el cheapo's dont even show up. The rates are almost unbelievably cheap, I wonder what is happening

 

My theory...things are a little slower and brokers need to keep their volumes up. They will cut the rates on anything or work try to cover something for $25. When they can't cover it they just don't show.

 

I love it when that happens
