    I book my truck with them a lot ZERO issues. Great rates. I'm sure they got some bad brokers. Or maybe I got to move it brokers. Ask good questions. Etc.

    I'm very happy with them.


    Be Safe Out There

    You not only fell for the bait and switch game, you also are taking a load all the way across the countryside for just over $2.00 per mile. 2200 miles.

    I have never been to Texas so maybe that's a good rate.

    I have been once, right after getting my MC. Spent all day trying to book something decent. Finally at 4pm booked 200 miles for $600 just to get out and have not come back to that silly state anymore.

    Now see. $3.00 per mile gets you out and to maybe better reload location.

    Close as I ever got to Texas was New Orleans, LA. That wasteland looked like a bomb hit it and never recovered. I ended up deadheading out 300 miles to MS. That was the year of the BP oil spill that everyone said Tarballs were washing up on shore. We spent the day there never seen 1

    Actually I was looking for a lane across the united states . I could have avoided it but at 2.00 per mile pulling 15,000 lb loads it fit into what I was trying to do and it worked with my numbers . I didnt have to take it but I made good money for a couple months and was happy with the results .

    I wouldn't worry too much. Some people are never satisfied. And I agree no one is perfect. Keep up the good work
