    They don’t know the business and none of us who’ve lived our lives in this business take them seriously. Even the shippers I know that use them admit they are just taking advantage of the stupid low rates while it lasts.

      Dave you appear to be an Uber Freight hater……… maybe all that time you have spent on the phone with shippers could translate into freight for you to broker rather than trolling freightwaves insulting people
