Posts: 3 		In my opinion, when a load is posted it should show where load will be picked up and if known where the load will be going. The amount to be paid per mile with mileage if it is paying by the mile. What the load will pay the truck. If it pays by the head or weight. I think all the deductions should show on the bottom line. We been hauling loads that post as paying one amount which seems pretty good but by the time the brokers or shippers take this or take that the rate we actually get paid goes from a good rate down to a rate that is .20-.50 cents less than what was originally posted. It should be the rule that if it pays per mile and it posts on this site that is what is paid to the truck. These little deductions that don't seem like much add up real quick. And on one load a few weeks ago my truck was in kansas and the shipper said yes send your truck on across And we will load them saturday. I sent the truck 840 mile to load and never got a return call from the shipper I called them back several times and was told we're tryin to decide. They never loaded the truck on saturday and did not offer a load on monday We should not have to call about a load that was posted then go thru a check list of deductions, etc, etc Every load should show all the details That should be a must on all loads posted.

I totaly agree,if in fact this is a load board for truckers ,and the last time I ,paid my subscription they say it is then your right the load should be posted with the correct pick up place and delivery point none of this TBD,tbd's could be miles apart and for the trucker that means money. If a load is paying by the mile the miles should be figured point to point , how do you do this on TBD ? On rates the rate paid to the truck is the only rate that should show on this board as we are all grown ups and know broker fee's. Im not interested in what the broker gets JUST TO THE TRUCK !!! Any deveations from the truck rate should be posted with the rate, not after you have run a truck 250 / 500 miles to pick the load up, no differant than the shipper saying cleaned trailer or bedding UP FRONT.

Happy Thanks Giving To All & God Bless
