Called on a load yesterday that was listed for 1100. I countered with 1500 because it was a short run but would take a full 12 hrs to complete with the appointment times. They said they couldn’t go that high and I said no problem and have a great day. They contact me 30 minutes later and offer 12 and I tell her the same thing, I would be at 15. She then tells me they have 1243.00 in it and they will give me 1240. I again said my rate was 1500 and she said she would pass. Again, I said no problem and have a great day. 2 hours later I see it posted for 1600, so I call her and said I will do it for their rate if 1600. After she knows that it was the same person she was emailing earlier she said she couldn’t pay me the 16 because I offered the 1500 earlier. She finally says she will ask her supervisor if they want to pay me the 1600 and she comes back and actually says “my supervisor said go ahead and pay you the 1600 but I’m only going to give you the 1500 because that’s what you offered earlier”. I told her to keep her load and she proceeded to tell me how that was bad business practice to offer a rate then not take it for that lower rate even though she declined it. Been bugging me ever since she said that. Was I really in the wrong?
Was I out of line?
