I waited too long and got nothing. I don't know how broker could go broke with only an office space and a cell phone, but he managed it. Might have been the cost of printer ink.

I am sick nand tired of brokers with $1-200k or more in loads out and they are able to operate on a 10K bond. I think you should not be able to exceed your bond with your payables. It's a little like hauling a $50K load with $10K in cargo insurance.
