Why does shippers post a shipment and then never answer questions from the haulers bidding on their shipment.  Timing is everything when trying to bid on a shipment. Bidders need info from the shippers to see if this haul is for them or if they should bid on another one. I have noticed on some shipments that the shipper answers maybe one time and then nothing on several questions. If they have found someone to haul for them it would be nice to let others know so they can bid on other shipments don't you think?

Could be they look at your profile and do not see any mention of you being a compliant carrier or offering any insurance. These shippers are getting smarter about things like that. Post your DOT and MC #s and explain your insurance and maybe you'll get more response from them. Just a thought and my $0.02 worth.

Hey Wings, I'm curious, This is in your profile:
"Carrier Operation: Interstate, Intrastate Only (Non-Hazardous Material)"
So which is it, 'IntERstate' or 'IntRAstate Only'?
Also, I'm sure that you don't want to mess up the nice clean look of your truck there by putting DOT?MC decals on it, but you could at least post them here where you are advertising your business!
Laterz,
Gator
