Does this sound like a good deal?

Played with the "Tower Operators "agents for two years, 06/07, just don't let them try talking you into getting a ""Specialised"" trailer to haul the Head units or blades. First two loads will pay stupendus then it is down hill from there. Gota remember the agent are in it to make $$$ The last two or three who called I said "You really need my trailer to move this ???" "Yes", "oK, we are still on an 80/20 split ?" "Yes" "Fax me a copy your bill to the shipper and the number to call him" Straingly it often gets dropped there becuse of "Privacey" They can't do that>

It you are on a specific split with a broker and he refuses to show you the bill then I would not trust him. He is likely trying to play games with you. Privacy has nothing to do with it.

H##l GMan do you trust any broker/agent out there ? If you do I am a broker and have some land I would like to sell you in Florida
 It's not if you are going to get screwed more like how bad you let yourself.

There is one that I know is honest with me. I always pick up a check when I deliver the loads. I give him the bill and check and he writes me a check less his 10%. I have never had a problem with him and everything has always been above board. 8)
