haha! oh my gosh, that sucks. Well, but you have found a couple that you can trust but ...well, I don't know how it works. You call whatever dispatcher is listed on an order or can you go through the ones you trust?

Listed one with that load. Sometimes they trip over each other to see who can post it for less money.

Yes LESS..... ya think they would try for more, but the freight brokers(glorified dispatchers) all crawl up the Ass of the shippers trying to get them to give them more loads by low balling the truckers.

Howdy again sir krazzytrukker! Oh I see how they work. Man, that sucks and there's no way to fix it is there?

Been like this longer than I been in the business. Be like this long after I am gone.

We are the only industry where the Contractor (me) absorbs the higher costs, cheaper rates, with no way of passing it on to the customers. We are at the mercy of the shippers and recievers, and yes, the brother in law, good ol boy network. Way too many of the freight brokers are Family, friends and relatives of the ones in control of the freight at the shipping docks.

It is a dirty dog, cut throat industry. With selectively enforced rules.

Dang. I hate that. I don't like government as far as passing tons of regulations but it sounds like the Commerce Dept needs to get involved and weed out the corruption.
Where are you at and did you get another load yet?

Hangin out with my co-pilot kits.

Petro in El Paso...... took some vids of the Ferals here and posted it.

Only one load came up. It was going to Detroit..... i will not do Detroit. About 15 yrs ago i was mugged there.

And when reminded of that, I have to play this song from Bachman Turner Overdrive....... "Gimme Your Money Please"

Howdy sir krazzytrukker! oh man. mugged! What's the story there? Detroit sounds terrible.

Just like the song says......

"A dirty mean man with shot glass eyes, He said gimme your money please...... wasn't that strange, wasn't that strange..... indeed."

Then i went a few blocks down the street and saw a detroit city cop car. I went over to them told em i was just robbed, they laughed and said your lucky that is all they took......."assholes"

Hard to tell who the real bad guys are in the Big Cities.... The Blue Smudges on the Political maps. I avoid them like the plague they are..... true story

Howdy again sir krazzytrukker! Oh man, that sucks. Yeah I'd never go there again either!

Dude I need to get me a CB radio. I wonder if I could find one that I could make work off grid and still talk to you truckers on. I had some anarchist friends in Washington that I knew that used HAM radio. They rode quads and shit doing fun stuff like that. In fact I got some video footage 3 years ago of one of them rolling his quad like a dipshit. And that was when "Dipshit Democracy" was born.

They still have the short waves out here. I had one years ago with the sidebands on it.

The noobs out here are not aloud to use em. Hands free..... lmao.

That annoying C B radio has saved countless lives by warning of road hazards, stopped traffic just around the bend or over that hill.

I can tell you it has saved me time, money in not getting ticketed or DOT'd. And it has saved me from wrecking with warnings of large road debri..... etc.

So stay "Hands Free" ya noobs....... Safety starts with a capital $......

And the FMC$A......
"$uck$"

Our neighbor who lives across the street from us has his own truck. I think he is an independant truck driver. He is gone for weeks at a time. And because we live on a dirt road, when he does bring the truck home his truck always fucks up the road.
