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.

It's not bad either way. And if it's "net" I'd say;- it's as good, as it gets! 8) :roll:

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)
