I had that issue as well when I had my trucking company. People wanted me to go into NYC out of Harrisburg for $300. On more than one occasion I told the broker to call me when he was serious. Which normally turned into well so and so will go for that why wont you?
Well so and so is based in Maine and that will get him paid to his home that is why.
By the time thay called me back the 3rd time it was always close to $750... It got to the point it was no longer worth it to deal with people like that. I was at the point where it turned into look we both know you are going to pay it so just cut to the chase and stop playing games.
I hate being an employee again but there are advantages.
