man im glad you mentioned toast...im just getting into sacramento and starving...breakfast for lunch sounds goooooooood. taking a week off doesn't justify being profitable, hell I took off from december to may of this year, I wasn't pforitable last year but I blew through 14k during that time...rent, pickup payments, insurance etc plus buying parts for my mustang ate that up pretty quickly!

There is more than a shipper and consignee involved. There is a middle man that does not want the shipper to know who the consignee is. The middleman also doesn't want the consignee to know who the shipper is. If the two get to know one another, they will cut out the middle man.

Exactly !!! I bet that Broker :dung: a brick when he finds out you let the cat out of the bag Steve!!!

Usually with a Blind load, you would fax the "Original" shippers paperwork, showing the Middleman as consignee, to ..say the broker..then the..let's say broker again..would fax you back new shipping documents, showing a new shipper (the middleman) and consignee (the intended receiver).


Blind loads are a pain in the a$$.

Yes but they should pay well and the broker should treat you very well. i.e no waiting, good detention if you do have to wait and fast pay because all you need to do is let the cat out of the bag and the gig is up.

Also, if they failed to dislcose that it was blind when you negotiated the rate, feel free to re-negotiate after you are loaded. The carrier holds alot of cards.

Hell Rev, wouldn't you jump to your feet if some slob that brags about smelling like monkey butt and using baby wipes for showers tells you how it'll be?
