Why are o/o always complianing?

Rollin,

Thats harsh, I am assuming between the time you talked to them, and the time they got around to sending a confirmation, the guy came in and quoted $1,000, otherwise I would make a note about that broker and watch him in the future...

 

Lol...funny im new here i was just speaking about what i keep seeing and its sad that im new and i just figured this out in such a shortt time and some of these guys have been driving 30 yearsand still dont get it im not really a deep person just like to make money and travel the world i'll leave that to you.[/QUOTE]

If they been in business 30 yrs ... They must be doing something right!

 

No, confirmation was never on it's way, they were waiting on the customer to get back to them and ok the price quote I put in for $1,400. In the mean time someone else up late on Saturday night saw an opportunity. It's not a broker I work with but we as a company do work with them quiet a bit. They don't seem so generous going up on rate as my go-to people are. My go-to brokers would have given me that without hesitation. I'm not mad about it freight will always move for the cheapest price. More than once I've even told my go-to people if you can get it moved cheaper go for it normally I get the load at my rate.

 

Thats not too bad then, Ive had that happen before, between the time I hang up, thinking we have the load, to the time I think the load confirmation should be there, generally 5-10 min 20 min at the max if the broker gives me notice, that they have given it way cheaper, which is fine, but typically I wont deal with brokers that do that for the simple fact, if I cant trust you, I wont work with you.

 

You are preaching to the choir!!!! This topic has been repeated over and over.. If you want to make a diffrence, set a booth up at a truck stop and preach to drivers about cheap frieght..

 

I made 972$$ of one load only going 77 miles....

 

There are rate cutters in that segment of the business, too.

 

Wrong Section!!!!!!

 

Yeah gman I know but dang these rates are getting chopped up bad in produce thanks to another bottom feeder USX pulling reefers. Thats why I might go the rgn route so I can cover bases .
