With all the freight some brokers just don't get it

it is fun, some days, isnt it?

 

LOL you gotta love her mentaility, "you can possibly make up X amount , if you look for something to add to what Im paying you, you just might make money"

I also hate it when they ask me for a quote, I give them a # and they scream do you realize that's so and so a mile. Yes thanks don't need math lessons from you broker.

 

That's a good one. I've not had one go quite that far as to offer a game show rate (sorry, sounds like Monty Hall "you could win a new car!!"). Usually only brag about how much I can get on a reload, so I ask them to send that over too.

Broker: Oh, we don't have that reload.

Me: I see. Thanks for the offer, but no.

 

I said ya i could take care of that load for you for that
She says" I'll even pay you $100 more for your deadhead"
I'm thinking great this is going to be easy money.....after doing all the paper getting set up I get the confirmation it's for $1,600+$100 deadhead= $1,700 all in I called back and said wait you told me $3,500 she says " no I told you you could make $3,500 in two days I'm paying $1,700 if you find one coming back that pays that your over $3,500"



I am not to bright but 17 + 17 =34 not 35

 

forgot the c note

 

The c note made it 17 it was 16 before!!!

 

Now you have scared me. I am just getting my authority and no one told me there would be math involved.

 

Was doing some power only work at one point...got a call about an Atlanta, GA to somewhere in OK. Pretty good rate attached to it however now I am rolling the dice w/o a trailer which is a bigger gamble than with one. I said, what's the PO market looking like coming out of OK, broker replies, well I've never had a problem. I say, great send me a rate con for that rate going both ways in case I do not find anything and in the meantime you now have two days to find me a load coming back that you have never had a problem with. That was the end of the conversation.
