Since the name of the thread is Feline Frustration we have a new one.
We had only a few load offers today, three times each on two of them. The loads were short with bad extras, At one point we were offered a second run which would pick up after the first del. "Sounds good, Send the info across"
We was told to accept the load first, we repeatedly asked for the second load info. This dispatcher ROSE must have thought this was our first day. We were only able to get town pickup to del state. I finally said send all info or forget it. There must have not been a load, because a few minutes later the phone rang. Same load offer new rate.
Panther has tried many things to pressure us to take a pour load, but this was a first. To flat out lie with a fake offer to try and trick us this is not right. We backed down and took this bad load for the new rate, big mistake!
After arriving at the shipper we were told the freight was already loaded and ready to go. Panther had called CTX to run the load, around the same time they were trying to trick us to run it. Then told us we had to sit there for an hour so they could research what went wrong. I told them what went wrong "Somebody is not doing there job"
So we lost the day for dispathers trying to force loads on us. Instead of aceppting a decline to the offer, each time they would put us right back on the load so we couldn't get any other offer. Then refusing to remove us from the loade when it dry ran for an extra hour, burned up four hours.
Just ranting since we didn't get loaded. Guess some black cats are unlucky.
