Does anyone do any business with this company. They recently approached me about handling Lowe's stores and seemed a bit desperate. I heard they just another broker and like to get things done way to cheap. Any insight would be helpful.

I deal with them. We sell them pallets for one of there national contracts. They are good pay and decent to deal with.

The Lowes account is a whole different story. I did Lowes for 7 years for 4 different companies. They all promised it would be different but it never was. The reccesion forced us to look at every piece of business and when we did we dropped the lowes account. They never loaded the trailers well, ever. They paid us to take the trailer but we would sepnd 2 to 3 hours unloading them beacuse they were loaded so bad. Lowes store are not built with enough docks to put the pallet trailer at a dock. It is loaded from the ground so it is always loaded bad. The Home Deopt trailers are loaded from the dock and loaded much better.

If you are going to consider doing the Lowes stores take your offered pull rate and increase it 150.00 and try it. But be prepared for a bunch of junk. If you grind it may not be as bad because you could grind all the scrap. Good Luck. PP
