    Brokers who post loads needing to be covered on a weekend, holiday, or day after the holiday, and then don't answer their phone because they're closed for the weekend / holiday.

    Especially when the load was posted 5 minutes ago. You know someone's working if they're posting new loads.

    Maybe next truck you buy will have a double frame. Doesn't torque as easy. LOL

    Actually I've ran into this same thing before. Sometimes if you can leave a message they call back. I have actually gotten hold of them on weekends but not always.

    Gal at Membersedge told me that some brokers have auto-posting software that updates their load listings.

    Yup, auto posting. How many people, like me, won't call on loads that show 9+ to much later in my call cycle. Normally it is a crap load or they forgot to remove it.

    But I was right with you until I learned this little detail. Very frustrating.

    Problem is, I see loads with -0- time on the boards, and that 0 stays with them through every refresh on ITS. Sometimes the same load even pops up as 'new'. ITS should penalize brokers that do this, as it's very misleading.

    I;m sure if you write to ITS on the contact section, they will send a nasty gram to the broker. ITS seems to care about keeping the load board cleaned up. They are great to deal with.
