dan,
a site like this is a great forum to weed out the idiots in today's maketplace,
and those of us from the old school have a bit of a hard time understanding how the industry turned into such a farce.you are perfectly right in your anger and i fully understand how you feel,unfortnately we sometimes lash out in anger without thinking of the repercussions (1st time this situation happened to me i was managing marway systems when phil from harrow truck lines stole a used computer company away from me....called brian to give him a chance to correct it and he laughed.....look where he is now) i never booked a shipment with them or gave them a reference again and any chance i had to "steal" a customer of there's i did.
here is another 1 of those situations where everyone is going to rant and rave and the end result is going to be the same...makes us all look like a bunch of raving lunatics.these things happens unintentinally sometimes... give dave a call (he has been around bout as long as moses) and if he cannot resolve it then call randy (owner) voice your opinion and i am sure you will both resolve this matter like gentlemen or then....go for the juggler.
we do work hard to find and retain a customer and it isn't fair to try and solicit your business to get your customer base to try and steal it... to me sir you are a non commissioned salesman who i can rely on for loads from time to time to keep my trucks rolling at peak capacity when i am available...
in this case you both are great companies.....sad we have all reduced ourselves to the point (myself also) where we operate on anger management instead of profit management...[/QUOTE
