Shipping Wars

Watching episode today and just for the record the husband wife team transporting the three little compartments possibly for A sky lift of sorts. The husband states that having only one ten thousand lb strap is enough to hold each of the units. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but but the FMCSA requires no less than two straps or chains per piece. This is required just in case one breaks there will be a second strap to keep from losing load.

Its this kind of irresponsible broadcasting that can literally get people killed and property damaged.

So when watching these episodes be vigilant and don't fall victim to the I saw them do it on tv syndrone ! That will carry little weight in a wrongful death lawsuit.!

Much like "Storage Wars" or "Storage Hunters", i did not want to watch this, yet - it's good. However, Shipping Wars outshines both these shows, as the setting, items and journeys are different every single time. Roy is by far the star of this show, with Jarrett providing some look through your fingers viewing. I did not expect to enjoy this at all, however the downright fun of it, and the constant remarks from Roy such as "perfect, just like me" make it fantastic viewing. The one let down to the series is Chris and Robbie, whom do not posses the "entertainment factor" unlike Roy, Mark, Jarrett and Jennifer who always manage to come out with snide comments, hilarious one liners and always produce a wonderful show. As I said before, Roy is by far the star of this show, and sometimes overwhelms everyone - however, this is a good thing. Once you start watching, you wont want to see anyone else.

Shipping Wars is well worth a watch, and will leave you rooting for Roy and his one liners, and leaving you a bit starstruck with the idiocy of Jarrett.

A real, true, gritty 10 out of 10 show.

At the end of one episode, one driver finished in San Francisco, another driver in Phoenix, one in Dallas TX, one in Charlotte NC.

The next morning they bid for new shipments. One of the shipments was scheduled to be hauled from Austin TX to Fresno CA. Now here is what puzzles me: The drivers sitting in San Francisco and Charlotte have to drive thousands of miles just to pick up the shipment in Austin TX, while the driver sitting in Dallas, can be there within a few hours. Would that not influence their bidding? It's 1800 Miles from San Francisco to Austin. Does that cost not have to be factored into the bid? I guess not, because all drivers act as if they are sitting in Austin, yet we know they are not.

Makes the show appear to be fake, yet I believe the loading/unloading/driving is real. Still very entertaining, just not realistic.

Has anyone besides me noticed that Jessica looks, acts, and is just as rude and obnoxious as Roy was. You would think The Me to Movement would be raising all kinds of cain the way Jessica the self centered witch and Jennifer the prima-donna witch who wants equal pay as a man but plays the dumb blonde on every load. "Can you help me load it," then stands back and let's the men do all the work, guess she's afraid she might break a fingernail. Now that she's pregnant (puke in my mouth) she's playing the dumb blonde plus " Can you do it for me I'm pregnant " role. And Jessica's smart mouth I don't understand why she hasn't been slapped right in that pie hole of hers. But like I said this witch truly looks and acts just like Roy. She is so freakin obnoxious it makes me sick. Did your mother ever teach you any manners be nice and people will treat you with a little respect....treat people the way you would want to be treated. Please take these two off the show, every time one of these two princesses under bids a real driver I have to leave the room.

This reboot isnt good or interesting at all. The white couple argues all the time, the black couple is rude and has a bad attitude, the older guy is boring and the older black lady is loud and annoying. Smh, i dont like the brokers either.. sorry guys, but this is a FAIL... i even miss jarrod! And he was the biggest moron alive😂
