inI quit chasing the cheapest quote after a driver left my car at a Walmart in Albuquerque
That $400 "different carrier" line is the part that gets me. That's not a truck breaking down, that's a broker who never had a truck and was farming your car out to whoever was cheapest that week. When you call the DOT number direct, ask if they're the broker or the actual carrier, because half these outfits are just a guy with a phone and a website. On the damage, a scratch under $500 usually isn't worth chasing. Small claims is your only real lever and most brokers are set up in another state so you'd be filing where they are, and they know that. The DOT number plus a call to the carrier is the right move, and getting it in writing that the carrier has cargo insurance before pickup matters more than saving the $150.

inVent: I dropped $300 on a sous vide machine and my line cooks still use the $40 rice cooker setup
Man, who cares what tool gets used as long as the food comes out right? If Marco's egg is on point with a rice cooker and tape, the $300 thing can just sit there. Not sure this is worth losing sleep over honestly.

inJust realized the $6 plastic tote from Ace in Boise holds more than my $45 "heavy duty" one
Who cares about the price tag when the cheap one does the job better?
