Thats a great post Sonny, everyone having problems negotiating should read that.
Can that be cut and pasted here or do we have to put it into our own words?

I am not sure

but the mesaage board archives has provided me with hours and hours of info

during the week it is dominated by bored brokers

you can ask them anything

also always check out the trucks wanted section

that really gives you a feel of the industry

The closer I get to my start date the more I'm going over these load boards. I didn't even know to look at GL's message board.
I know that IT has one but I rarely go on it.

IT message board is seldom used

Yeah,..IT is a real slow mover, but I learned a lot from it as well.
