Good morning indeed...Murray disturbed my beauty sleep last night with a shorty well almost 300 miles for this morning going into TN by Knoxville and pays pretty good for these days as well...
that makes 6 for 6 on the week....now for the coffee..:)
When brokers and carrier brokers have people whose only job is to sit there and bid on Loads they have no intentions of running and turn around and resell it as a source of income ....that is my money
I'm far from saying oh well... I'm saying the insurance issue is not the only issue of concern .
The fact that carriers before you were even on the scene Have completely raped and pillaged this businesswith no meat left on the bones
Many factors are contributing to the declined rates
Over supply of vehicles
The double brokering of loads
How many times I've seen a load listed and not gotten it, only to see it resurface at an even lower rate...
And this issue
Don't most shippers rely on some sort of logistics aka broker company to handle their shipments?....
and as you've said yourself...insurance verification is next to impossible to do...
shippers expect X to show up the guy/gal on the dock have no inclination to check which carrier actually...
