I have heard such rumors of such a thing...LOL work expensive but broker cheap...

I'm not saying it's not VERY common. But Bolt doesn't profess that they don't do it, do they?
(Answer = No)

I' am of the mind it is pretty common practice amongst any carrier if they really want to make money....

I guess dispatch gave up on Friday already. If I get that load I'll be out of the running for a load today

Boo.
Just lost a load that we needed because we didn't want to go down to 88 CPLM TOTAL rate.
And this from probably the most vocal carrier-brokers against degrading rates. LOL!!

Load "going once, going twice, SOLD to the lowest bidder !" ??

Really, people are saying we're in a recovery? Since when? What's their indicator? The stock market? HA.

You mean we're not in recovery? Everything I'm reading says rates are up freight volumes are up.. Shippers that talk to you say it cost more to ship now than ever.
Where is it all going?

this trip home has brought me a full DOT inspection on the shoulder of I 80 in Pennsylvania. On rolling down my window the cop says nice clean truck you look like a easy target. When he finished with me he immediately jumped onto another straight truck

No..... most of these driver expct the dispatchers to have a 6th sense and to be clarivoiant as to where we are at. Besides that those ugly little domes we have on the truck are for decoration use only .

Jus being my usual self.

At home relaxin in G.R.

Dispatch knows where im at. They told me to move east yesterday morning and I thought heck its only two days left and last night dispatch put in a offer to MI but didnt get it. Staying tonight to see if anything comes up. If not ill be calling dispatch in the morning to see if I can get something on the way east.
