This is an email exchange between a new customer and me who she wanted me to quote dallas to Colorado.

Quote full truck - van from waxahachie 75165 to 89074


can do it for 2200.00

Wow highest of all

mine was priced at a get it done rate, not hope to find someone rate. what was the lowest rate you had?

All these quotes I get are at a "get it done rate" so please don't say that...The carriers and brokers we use now all come thru with pick up and delivery on schedule. With the economy being so slow truckers are waiting for loads so don't assume you can charge more cuz you feel it is gonna get done faster by you than others because believe me that is an incorrect statement.

I told you before we shop for the best rates with the best service and will not pay hundreds of $$$ more because someone claims they are going to do it better...


As you can see It is not all of us brokers who want to keep the carrier down.
