    I think this broker must be hard up. I got a fax today from UTI brokers offering me a different beer loads out of Cincenatti Ohio. I am not signed up with them they tell me rates are not posted in fax but are neogiateable. I am an exempt commodities carrier and can't even haul this stuff. So why are these people out of the blue offering me these loads. If I wanted to business with this broker or any others I am perfectly able to contact them. Can any one advise me why the send out cold calls like this.

    If you are having UTI problems try cranberry juice.

    I think they get the fax numbers from the load boards. I get them once in a while too.

    I'm a flatbed business with 3 trucks and trailers and I get calls to move refeer freight. I tell them I don't know the first thing about that stuff.

    Uti. The only broker in the industry that will not accept a faxed BOL, trip pack, transflo, and requires you to postal mail everything all the way across the country, Medford Oregon in order to get paid.
    Besides being one of the cheapest brokers in the business.

    It's a hot market up there. You should be kicking ###, taking calls, and dictating rates.
