After every renewal to BULKLOADS and all the money made by doubling the cost Why after all the yrs don't they require the rates to be posted.

Because the brokers are paranoid that someone will poach their work by undercutting the posted rate. I get it to a point, but most of these load postings are soo vague that we waste our time calling or emailing on dead end work.

I wondered this immediatley after creating an account. In other industries I've been in, if you didn't post a rate, nobody would call. Seems very shady and manipulative to not stand behind your rate, requiring the driver/dispatcher (who already does all the leg work to actually drive/move the load) to take that extra step.

Some of us have been beating that drum for years. My solution was to get off Bulkloads and quit giving them my money. But I’m the lucky guy. I got into a good dedicated gig. Not everybody can find that… now I just pop back in once and a while just to see what everyone is whining about. Lol.
