Just curious to see how many people find this website helpful? seems to be pissing alot of people off
 
I think the intent of this site is commendable. To share ideas, thoughts, comments amongst "associates".

If ANYone gets defensive, chippy, or get their feelings hurt, toughen up! For those in whom the finger points, especially regarding "bad/slow" payment etc etc etc, remember the ball is in YOUR court, you and only you have the power to improve how you are perceived by your piers.
 
Fantastic site, we might get a little chippy once in a while but this is the trucking business. When you have a lot of customers, drivers, loads, problems etc people (me included) sometimes get "frustrated" but it does not last long.
 
We have saved losses in the thousands because of this site and that is only in the past 2 months. Great site but you do need to read between the lines.
 
I think that this site is great! As long as your honest and a carrier/broker that plays by the rules/law then you have nothing to worry about! There is a lot of currupt people in this industry and they need to be weeded out so the people that actually care and arent looking for a quick buck can survive.
 
I come to this site all the time. If I see a customer on there that is new to us, I know to start calling and looking for payment faster than I usually do. The only people getting "chippy" are the ones that are the slow payers. They just don't like getting called on it. They don't like that we now have a place to go and help eachother save time, money and the hassle of dealing with them.
 
And here's my two cents...I agree that this has been a very useful site. I only post information that I know to be true and constructive and that is why you all know who I am. As long as the site is used for those purposes and not to slander or bully or to post a bunch of BS this site will go along way to helping our indusrty grow and prosper with the right people in the right way. For those who dislike this site the only reason is because they have been uncovered and put out there for all to see. And as someone said previously you can either take the info and change the situation and make it better or you can continue on your path and you will make your bed and lie in it. If we use this site the way in which it was meant to be then it will continue to help us all.
 
great site ...

Great site and like one of the posters commented above -- if you're running a good business (broker, carrier or carrier/broker) you don't need to worry about being slammed. If you are not paying your bills, double brokering ... etc etc -- then you should be worried.
This site is great at weeding out the bad guys!
 
Information on this site is very helpful. Helps us keep informed on who the bad guys are. Wish there were more carriers, good load brokers on it .The more information that can be shared about the bad guys, the better
 
great site!

I was thrilled to find out about this site! We are a newer and small company so I found this site to be incredibly helpful.
