just say no to cheap freight

[geo]

people who take a run for .70 to under 1.00 are hurting them and us
when i'm ask what will you do this run for i alway start out high and work to what i will take it for
sometimes they go for the first price 2.20 a mile plus tolls, hotel room one each way
and sometimes not
but if start out for what you would do it for they will say that's to high
it's hard to go up
you can make a bad run better , d time, take trash a way , going up or down
inside room of choice, or you need to come back later

All kinds of ways to game the system. That is why I say, "Watch what they do, not what they say".

Don't work with crooks and you won't have to worry about the 25% loss in miles. There is absolutely no valid reason for short miles these days. If they are shorting your miles, they are scamming you.

I can name a few companys that are but they advertise here on EO so I won't name them
