A FLATBED LOAD IN FLORIDA

C.H.Robinson Just called a flatbed company or what's left of it and offered them a load from CrossCity Fl. to Miami. Lumber 50,000.00lbs.
and paying a whole $500.00.......................
as bad as we all feel this way, Thanks for the laugh.........
Someone really needs to drug test those cheap undercutting ButtWipes.....................

This Is my own opionion of the above mention company. We are by nature FLATBED............
Befor the bottom fell out they came in and started to undercut alot of us..........................
Take your load and stick it where the sun do'nt shine.

WTF! That load is paying a hell of lot more than $600.00. And I use that amount figuring in a more-than-fair broker fee. This is only supportive of the continued robbing of the American truckers.

Bet 'cha there's a foreign truck driver, here in our country with our government's support, which will take that load...

What kinda person could afford to haul that load?

Would it be like an illegal alien with an old truck or what?

Ran into some sand man at a rest area. VERY nice lookin truck. Pulls in to where the 4 wheelers park, goes in the potty, does his business and goes on down the road.
