       | If you run a "freight brokering company" and you are just posting
       | the jobs you get on Craigslist, what are you even getting paid
       | for? Then, you end up getting scammed by truckers, not once, but
       | twice!? What kind of a brokering company is this...are there no
       | rules or regulations?
       | 
       | What's worse, this broker has been doing this for two decades
       | according to TFA...in all that time they've managed to remain
       | stuck posting on Craigslist and (presumably) have no trusted
       | contacts or partners.
       | 
       | Also, nit: I wouldn't call these "rare", they are just imported.
       | You can find them easily if you know where to look.

         | look and operate like. Using these sites is pretty common in
         | the industry.
