Shipper Reviews

The experience we have at a shippers COULD be a determining factor in whether we want to take their load or not.

Or put another way.... Our shipping experience at a place could determine what rate will need to charge to haul their freight!

...Or whether we will haul a load for ANY price and at ANY time.

For example if it's a 600 mile run and the shipper loads quick and the receiver (Receiver reviews will be another page) is 24 hrs then I feel more comfortable knowing I can run that load same day and be ready to start next morning with a fresh clock. 

Even if that load doesn't pick up until 11 a.m.

Maybe I wasn't empty until 10. And had to drive 30 mins. to get it.

That means my clock is already going.  Doesn't matter.  If the reviews say they load the truck in 30-60 mins...  Could chances you still run that load and be done same day.

If you've been trucking then you feel what I'm saying.  Life as a trucker can be made easier or harder and profits can be higher and lower depending on how efficient a shipper is.

The point is to share information especially if it is remarkedly great or terrible.  However, normal everyday information is also important because it still lets each of us know that it's an average place to pick up a load.

We know what to expect.  That's good when deciding on whether to take a load or not and how much to charge.  Or how much we are willing to negotiate.
