Red face Re: Load boards

"Some may be solo and can't take the load, some may be looking for a load to the midwest and the paint goes to South Carolina, some may not want to take HAZMAT, some may be out of hours, or out of service for any number of reasons. Some are too picky about what they take, some are just plain stoopid, some want Panther to pay extra for the risks of HAZMAT (like other carriers do. I do wonder of Panther isn't charging customers for HAZMAT and then not passing it along, as most customers are accustomed to HAZMAT surcharges, but that's probably for another posting )."
I've seen solos warned on the forums that they will sit until thur/fri for loads out of tx,looking for loads to certain destinations as an expediter?,out of hours -not teams-,dont do haz mat, don't do canada, want panther to pay more-sorry it sounds like they need to examine why they are in business-with all the limiting factors(excuses) why are they complaining about load boards-they really want to be tourists-they aren't interested in making a buck while the sun shines and will be complaining about no work in Jan.
