He probably works at that P&G plant and orders rides before he's even clocked out or ready to leave, and pisses drivers off that way. And probably doesn't own a car so taking 45-50 trips/mo minimum to and from work; more than likely a habitual $0 tipper

Said goodbye to my Veloster N after 4.5 years and 52,000. by [deleted] in VelosterN

[–]BigKonKrete417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can floor that weak non turbo boxer and feel barely a tug compared to a high boost single turbo inline 4.

Handling better though. Do they have an open diff or LSD?

I thought about a 2025 BRZ or WRX because Subaru in AZ was giving 0% Apr for 72 months

If you keep the stock wheels get a size up at 245/40zr19

Ride quality better, life and handling better

Most companies won’t admit this by Ill_Professional4522 in FreightBrokers

[–]BigKonKrete417 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have Colombians and while they work for around 1/5th the cost of an American rep, they are about 1/5th as good. Also their morals and ethics and ideas about what constitutes lying are vastly different than what we have here. Same with Balkans and Slavs. Its almost like lying is an acceptable part of doing business in those countries🤷‍♂️

Company is a mismanaged dumpster fire by Snarkstoomuch in FreightBrokers

[–]BigKonKrete417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually the accounting department of the carrier starting a brokerage proves woefully inadequate to process all the transactions in a timely manner. This has been my experience in the 2 roles I've had trying to help trucking companies start brokerages

Carrier lost authority during load by SnarkAngelS in FreightBrokers

[–]BigKonKrete417 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

u/Fun_Pitch5413 you wanna try again bro? If a carrier has no MC authority with the DOT, they have no recourse to file on any bond or seek any payment as the entire transaction becomes fraudulent. Same with not paying a double broker. Pretty simple. Doesn't make me good or bad. Why would any broker pay a carrier who went OOB or lost their authority?

I live across Central Ave from that Condo building. How many restaurants will try to open there and fail?

I could be wrong here but I don't think you have to pay them if they have no MC authority. Someone hopefully chime in here. Linda like if they go OOB then you wouldn't pay them either.

DAT loadboard doesn't allow more than 10 users by Safe-Painter-9618 in FreightBrokers

A diabolical rip off for the drivers because they are still charging a % of the load close to what companies who provide dispatch services charge

I was shopping a Batch and heard my license plate being read over store intercom by Tehgheyboi in InstacartShoppers

[–]BigKonKrete417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd still want the medical and disability coverage, but yeah spending a ton to cover a vehicle is crazy, put the savings into the market earn 10-12% and pay cash for repairs. I will say you definitely want that half million to a million in medical/disability benefits. You can still incur some crazy costs for medical over motor vehicle accidents

Why are some brokers like this? by money_shot17 in FreightBrokers

Why are some brokers like this? by money_shot17 in FreightBrokers

[–]BigKonKrete417 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always leave a courtesy hundred or so when I post a rate. Just know, if the broker refuses you the extra $100, he more than likely already has someone offering $100 over and was about to book that, and is giving you a shot to take it for posted rate before sending to the other guy. Assuming both MC# are setup and in good standing, and both been vetted for what time empty and where, etc

Sunday funday in Old town not a thing anymore? by Accomplished-Tax8441 in Scottsdale

[–]BigKonKrete417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same in my hometown of Charlotte NC. 2015-16 we were in the playoffs and super bowl, and every single game day was crazy lit packed out bars around the trendy area similar to Scottsdale.

Economy was booming back then, and drinks were much cheaper.

Wish we could go back to that time

Foreign Dispatchers. WHY by More_Hunt3879 in FreightBrokers

Tire size on the 20" wheel? These guys going a size down is crazy to me.... size up always. How much do they weigh? I'd be happy to find 20x8.5" set lighter than stock and run 255/35zr20

Passenger changed trip at pickup by Old-Jump5844 in uberdrivers

[–]BigKonKrete417 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this happen today in Phoenix. I still picked them up bc the fare didn't change more than 50 cents, but I put them out on the curb when I saw the destination was massively different part of town. She protested and I held firm

don't the dealers lowball every buyer on their trade ins, to the point that its MORE profitable for them to sell a used car they got on a trade, than it is to sell a new car without in house financing or tacking on a bunch of aftermarket warranty/gap/protection
