Several different reasons depending on what carrier you are talking about. Sometimes it is a relationship thing with a partner carrier. They may have a garbage load that they accepted in order to get a better load. Sometimes a package of loads both good and bad. To cover the junk load, they will pitch a good one with it. Maybe not to the same truck, but the same carrier.
Then you have some carriers that deal with brokers seperate from their general dispatch. Those folks are on commission. Easier to cover a 1100 mile load than a 100 miler in most cases.
We have done some long, good paying loads when that carrier had a truck sitting right next to us. Carrier may have been saving that truck for an account they couldn't broker out with.
A carrier lock if you will.
And lastly, the margin is in the carriers benefit to cover a shorter load in house rather than broker it if possible. Those acceptance policies at carriers aren't there by accident. A partner carrier won't take the junk load without a significant price increase over that carriers contractor rate.
Sometimes just plain stupidity.
Probably a few more reasons, but those are the major ones.
Oh, Full Metal Jacket is a must-see movie.
If for no other reason than the GEICO Therapist commercial will make more sense.
My gawd that's funny.

Oh Turtle, I DON'T need a movie to get the GEICO commercial. I went through basic training, seen it live and in color!!! I LOVE that commercial!!
He played the DI in the movie. That's why the commercial is even funnier once you've seen the movie.
OK, I get it now. My head DI was Sgt. Bell. BIG BIG black guy, HUGH voice. Great at calling cadence. VERY musical. He did a combat tour in Korea and 3 in 'Nam. He had a couple of Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star for Valor. I LISTENED when he taught. He KNEW what he was talking about.
No Turtle, it doesn't. The forum software blocks out the entire **** and what I'm referring to is when the w**d is only partially masked which means the user knows the word shouldn't be used so they go with w**d instead.
We all know the automatic checker doesn't differentiate when a proper name etc has a blocked word as part of it. That doesn't change what the reminder is about. No profanity whether typed in full or with masking.

I don't think you can say ****roach.
For the most part I feel the same way. Once in a GREAT while a well placed cuss word would feel SO GOOD!!
Yeah, when I offered to pay for his secrets and he didn't reply. Reminds me of that scooter scott fellow from a few years back. Maybe he resurfaced with a new carrier.Anyone elses BS meter peeking?
But we can talk about John Hanpenis enjoying a phallustail after he signed the Declaration of Independence.

So Mr. Dispatch got his first night dispatch job and he's feeling kind of powerful... yeah, I remember my first dispatch job when I was 19. I thought I was cool as hell too.
That was a few decades ago and I've since learned not to act quite the fool as he has exhibited himself to be.
Here is some advice: step back from the board and learn some respect for the owner operators who dwarf your salary many times over son. Without them you don't have a job at all.

I've been known to cuss once in awhile and you should see OVM's jaw drop..

LOL!!! That is funny!
Yes LBD, it does. You know me to be a smart man. If I was wrong, don't you think I'd know it? It censors profanity just fine, it just doesn't censor it to your own personal satisfaction.
It does if the entire word is listed in the software's Bad Word Dictionary, yes.
Oh, you mean like "In wartime, sh*t happens." Yeah, well, that isn't profanity, unless someone wants to see profanity where it doesn't exit. The forum software uses asterisks to mask profanity, and there's nothing wrong with users censoring themselves in the same manner. People want to express themselves, and as long as what they type isn't real, honest to good profanity, lighten up and let 'em.
People make an effort to post something that isn't profanity, but in your mind that's not good enough? We can only post things that meet the rigid albeit unwritten rules from the Book of Leo? Is that how it works?
"No profanity whether typed in full or with masking."
I've read the Code of Conduct cover to cover, and that ain't in there. There is absolutely nothing within the Code of Conduct that prohibits using words with asterisks in place of letters. At least people are making an honest effort to censor themselves, even though it's brain-dead simple to get around the forum software's censoring filters. If you see something profane instead of what is quite literally a euphemism of asterisks, then it's your problem, and it's a serious one. You have GOT to get a grip on your insatiable urge to control people with that morally and hypocritically deranged sledge hammer.
For far too long many moderators, you in particular, have failed to moderate, and instead have made it a habit to let things go in threads until they got out of control, and then go overboard and shut the thread down. Code of Conduct-violating posts very early on in threads should be deleted, a warning issued for everyone to see, and then move on with the discussion.
Clearly, someone called a huddle of moderators and suggested that threads be moderated before they get out of control. (Which is an excellent idea, I wish I'd thought of it. <snort>)
But now you're going overboard with that, tooooo, and are trying to moderate something that doesn't even need moderating, simply because you cannot control your need to control. There was nothing whatsoever in this thread that even remotely indicated the thread was about to go out of control or start violating the Code of Conduct, until you stepped in and took control. Good job. <snort>
You, as an EO Moderator, advocate cold-blooded murder of spammers, the killing of illegal aliens as they cross the border, want to hand out life and death sentences for crimes that do not warrant it in the minds of rational people, and now is just itching to hammer someone over a few strategically placed asterisks. Reminds me of an out of control pit bull that could use a muzzle, collar and a leash. Then again, if I were you, I'd be wanting to just shoot it and teach it a lesson. Aren't you glad I'm not you?
The scary part is he probably believes calling for the death of someone for spamming email is less offensive than the slang term for p oop.

I don't consider the Nigerians, if they even are and not someone in the Bronx or wherever they might be, and others who are stealing huge amounts of money to be just a spammer. I get a few emails every day that are all from different people and all the same miracle acne cure spam email. I click the empty now button and the entire batch goes away. I'd love it if somehow their computer could be shorted so every time they send one of those spams out it shocks them and knocks them out of their chair and onto the floor and it burns out their motherboard. Seems fitting. But for the 0.x% of criminals, whether cyber or real time, they deserve the absolute harshest punishment possible.
