Damage Rate: All over the place. Many trucks over 50%. You get what you pay for.
Contents: Loads can have excessive amounts of seasonal product and leftovers the processors did not want to sell online. Some loads have old product, several years old. There are usually lots of items under $20. Excessive damage is not uncommon with these loads. Luck of the draw. Lots of risk with these loads

Lots of Risk.

Bottom Line
There is a lot less risk with A+/Premium/Unprocessed loads. Once the jobbers starft in on pulling premium items out of loads, thier values start to plummet. All the new semi-wholesale websites have led to a whole new level of processing.
