Well here is a new one...

We were always well pleased with the load pay without fail, and like I said, we had a working relationship with this broker year after year. The problem with this situation is that this apparently was not discussed before hand, knowing what I know I wouldn't burn a bridge until I checked this out first, he could be setting on a good paying load, and then again not. The moral of the story is, the bigger the mistake, the longer you will remember to not make it again.

 

Hang in there, just use your own judgement with the broker, and just chock it up as experience. To the wise man experience turns to wisdom.

 

You are going to do just fine, you can look over this forum until the cows come home and you will not find a soul that hasn't felt like they made several mistakes in this business, it is such a complex industry. Just remember to spend a lot of time on research before going in a direction that you are unfamiliar with, lack of research will destroy you faster than anything in this business.

 

i'm curious as to why shippers ship without bol's or ANYWHERE to go for that matter.

couple days ago i picked up a load. broker knew where it was going. but shipper had absolutely NO IDEA of what i was getting. where i was going. NO CLUE WHAT SO EVER.

yes, i left without bol's. had to make my own.

basically i just drove on in. nd picked up whatever i want. not even the gaurdshack stopped me for bills.
