thats a PIA...we vans get that alot too....the difference a comma makes...or simply whether it is metric measurements and weight...

Bolt was good with that, I only remember one issue that was the shippers fault. This was definitely the broker because they just used the measurements off of a website and guessed based on pictures. I was supposed to pickup a motor grader that was 30'x8'6"x11'6" and 35000lbs which is standard. It turned out to be 37'8"x13'10"x11'6" and 42000lbs which may create a scaling issue.

Note to self. 54x47x39 is NOT the same as 86x44x65 that "must be loaded 86" wide or with a crane.

Did you get burned too?

I got a truck ordered not used for a decent amount but I sat most of yesterday waiting on this load so it hurts the overall revenue.

Ya, that sucks. I got awaken after only 3.5 hours of sleep for my TONU. I need a nap but if I could get another one I could get quite a ways and a short nap overnight for a morning drop. Daylight does WONDERS for me.

Ugh. Glad I didn't get that AL to Laredo I just bid on then. Of course I wasn't going to get it for the $1.188 I bid anyway. All good.

And that's $1.188 per mile. Not $1118.

Can you find your own freight? There is quite a bit getting moved down there and I can send the information to you.

The feeling is mutual.

There is one from Laredo up to Bradford, ON that they tried to ship as a partial on a TT which the rates can be hit or miss for a ST.
