    Asking for load/rate over qc before taking

    To explain why I think some Load 1 contractors can trust dispatch to pay them as the contract sayes in all situations,i'll give a personal example...now we all have had great paying short runs that made us alot of money...but we also have had that GOOD paying mini (and I am using a CV , but any...

    Asking for load/rate over qc before taking

    Asking for load/rate over qc before taking

    I have never had Load 1 not send me a pay screen until after the load was delivered, not saying could or wouldn't happen, but as Kenny said when doing Canadian splits, we do take the run based on the trust we have in our dispatch to pay us as we know they will...that pay screen will show up...
