Shipping Wars

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😂

First off, it's a fun show and a little fascinating watching how some of these strange loads get from point A to point B. I think that the show does display real transporters, their real equipment, real loads, and real shipping. I also think that nearly all the drama is forced, fake, and completely inserted into the show to make it more interesting. I think that the personalities of the characters are vastly exaggerated. Roy isn't a complete jerk, Jarrod isn't a naive clutz, and Jennifer isn't a damsel in distress. That's all made up. Getting permits to haul heavy equipment across state lines, renting equipment, coordinating pickups and dropoffs, and tying down loads however is not. Ultimately it's fun to watch, but if you've seen one episode you've seen them all.

I love this show. It almost makes me want to switch careers. I think the network manipulates it a bit though. I saw Robbie with something that said veti on it and then saw Roy with a veti can cooler. Its to promote that garbage, fake, waste of programming show about trying to catch big foot. If they find him, I will personally fight him at the garden, and I'm an over weight, average dude with no real fight experience. Other than your common school fights and a little bit of boot camp. Regatdless, marks on point most of the time, I think Roy's on point but plays that tough guy thing up a bit, chris and Robbie are by far the best with all there awesome equipment. Not to mention Robbie's very easy on the eyes. Then there's Jennifer...wow...she's crazy hot, I'd love to just ride along with her, even if she wouldn't let me speak. I was heart broken that she got pregnant but the man in her life is very lucky. So much for my dream of running into her on the road and having love at first sight. And I'm a chubby kid from PA so the odds were never in my favor : - (
