I just happened to be looking and did ya notice when the rating system first started and users thought it was annoyomous that all the brokers had alot lower ratings and once they found out  they black balled all the guys that had put in there honest ratings. I do agree that there was alot of retalition rating after that . Although i do understand those being accused of low ratings wanting to know.   I am not all against brokers everyone has to make $$ and i dont mind giving a fee away if the freight is good or works but does bother me when it doesnt pay good and even worse when money is slow to boot just my two cents!

I think that it is wrong that just because a company gets a bad rating, they call Livestocknetwork.com and get it removed and then they also call and get negative forum posts removed. It is wrong that bad companies cannot be ousted on here.

One particular company in Texas, we all know who they are and we know who owns the company, they call and whine and cry till everything is removed about them. Also this company changes its name, and runs under a fake persons name. Now no one knows it is really the old company and the same person.

Bad companies need to be stopped. People need to stop being screwed by bad people.

It sounds to me like the owners of this site have a positive bias if this is true-----maybe it cant be fought in this venue if people are getting banned for truthful comments-------the member list has names and phone numbers for contacts as well as email addresses----take it to a higher level and spread the word if you have proof,If it was a one time occurence let it slide but If proof of repeated hosings and coverups have happened then go on your own agenda

 This rating system is ok if users use it like adults. I had a guy rate me and gave me a 1 on both categories.  I didnt even know the guy so i called him to ask what the problem was.  He thought i was somebody else for turning him in for running with his traps open in Ark City, KS. If he was, he should be knocked upside the head for a lack of respect, not retaliating by giving somebody a bad rating when he didnt even know how to spell the last name of the person. So Matt Sloan of Bertrand,NE, i asked you nicely to fix this a month ago and still you have not. If you had a problem with whoever it was, i suggest calling them and by the way, my last name is spelled Larsen not Larson.                     Daniel Larsen- Daniel Larsen Trucking.
