Do your homework. I did mine after receiving a bid to transport a car I bought online. I called the guy out through an email stating "Hell would freeze over before I used his service" after checking reviews online through Google. His response was a late phone call at 22:12 central standard time cursing me for my purchase. As a Truck Driver, I have unwillingly transported some cheap freight, but I did it with pride and without judging my customers because I'm a businessman. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do catch the next load. Sometimes cheap freight puts a good word on the street. I need a bottom dollar shipper for this car and I should not have to explain my reason, nor should I be judged or scolded like a child for my bid. Therefore, I am sharing the script of the voicemail received from Transport Connections followed by emailed reply.
Voicemail script: "Listen you stupid f* c-cksucker. I get home from a fine dining restaurant in Miami, okay. I took the f* evening off, I get home to your email telling me hell will freeze over before I use your service. A "98 Saturn you low class piece of s*!? I wouldn't f* recommend even junking that car. It's not worth the price to have a flatbed tow it to a scrap yard, let alone to transport it from Florida to Missouri you low class piece of trailer trash s*! Who the hell do you think you're talking to? I drive an Aston Martin and a Porsche. You drive a f* Saturn? Go shovel some s* you low life and don't f* email me again."
My email reply: "Thank you so much for your kind words left in the voice mail from a restricted phone number with no name. Hard to image people like me gladly join the military to sacrifice our own lives for someone like you. You do NOT scare me. I'm really sorry you drive an Aston Martin and Porsche. I ride a Harley-Davidson and Bikers know a thing or two about respect and being judged. Since you seem so judgmental, the Saturn is nothing more than a second vehicle to use to get from point A to point B once a month. Why would should I purchase $100,000 vehicle to your liking just to drive back and forth to work? It will be used as a learning vehicle in the near future for my fiance's son. Yeah, it's a Saturn. They're plastic, they're easy to work on, insurance is cheap, and they get good fuel mileage. Perhaps you should learn to ride Harley-Davidson motorcycle? I'll be Blue Collar and proud 'till the day I day because of people like you. You are apparently a very unhappy person. Sounds like you're enduring a lot of stress owning an Aston Martin and Porsche? You know Porsche helped design the Harley motor for their VROD motorcycle? I wouldn't want to work in your environment. Must be hell? Thank you and have a nice day. I'm so sorry to bother you."
This man claims to have good reviews somewhere, but I can't find them. Google is no friend of his. This man goes beyond evil and apparently lives a very unhappy life. I will proudly drive my cheap Saturn car because at least it doesn't define attitude and arrogance. I will also proudly ride my Harley-Davidson motorcycle because that world is structured by respect. "Give respect, get respect"
