Okay so I called this carrier to inquire about work last week, he took my name down and phone number said he would call me back.
He calls today asking if im ready to go chicago il, - kenosha, il.
didnt ask for insurance or any paper work to be filled out, and when I asked if we can get the paperwork done first, his response was priceless, "we don't have to fill out any paper work"
Well sorry boss but I cant work with a company like that.
Any of you ever ran across a lab rat like that?
From my understanding I need to sign a contract between the owner operator and the company get the van measured, provide them with my insruance registration and license. Prior to running their freight.
Moral of the story, don't look for this line of work on craiglist...

If you dont know anything but my first name and my phone number, how are you gonna pay me, how do I know where is your office located, how do I know if you even have an office. I probably would've sent in the BOL and never heard from him again....
Plus the new carrier that I'm running for seems to be exactly what I was looking for.

Yeah, FAIL!
Hasnt that happen to you before?? Like one time you were asleep and called right back and it was already gone?
When I'm home and don't answer my cell, they call my landline. And if I don't answer that they give the load away, or so they say, after all I'm the only Van they have in the Akron area.

Ten minutes..Holy crap. They are giving you all the time in the world. I rarely get 3 rings and never get a message of any kind.. Usually phone stops on 2nd ring.
I can understand you miss the call, everyone does now and then. But if you call back within 5 to 10 mins I would think they would at least give you that much time to call back?
