“Pathetic Quoting Attempt”

What went poorly?
  • Fraud

This carrier, like many others, is attempting to take advantage of the global energy shock by quoting 2-4x above what is reasonable. We will simply not be tolerating this practice in this industry any longer. This carrier actually attempted to quote $6 / mile. ($4800 on a 815 mile run)
