why can i read where an honest man fails(has set back) yet have the same dream and expect a differant outcome? i appreciate the honesty. i guess "leased" is looking best for me (chicken at heart)!!!

lol the good ol days that I hope never to experience

he-he...sounds like where i was 6 months ago....i feel your pain bro

Stick with onlky the big brokers.....someone...came me a list here (think Sonny) it was sage advice.
Why is they will always at least pay....The one time I used a small...he burned me....never again unless 1/2 up front with no penalties....n i know they wont agree to that....better to walk away from them if you can

Hmmm Sonny...I honestly dont see how you will lose yourr shirt...Im as dumb as they come and I can stay afloat
Bottom line tho...I gotta tell you...its not worth all this extra grief, pacing, and sleeples nights for a few pennies if your not lined up ahead of time.
...He-he
Well maybe worth it when i got to tell the lumber forman to kiss my rear....he-he Steve probably remembers that great rant of mine.
Clown tells me.......well dont get hostile with me
I replied no buddy Im just telling you how it is!
He says well will you put the 4 pallets back on your truck (oh now i know hes an idiot)
So i reply no...n im not hostile yout just a DMF (he-he) to ask me that!

Don't worry! You are in a pretty big company, in this field...! :lol: :wink:

pepe . have you considered going flat & leasing as an o/o ? leave the headaches to others. i've done extremely well as o/o. take only what you want where you want only if it pays what you want. let the dispatch make the dozen calls & do all the paperwork. while your out you could notice all the co's write down the info & after you collect sufficient co's you can later contact them about hauling direct & use your authority then. when i used to run long & would go to a steel plant, i would notice any co that shipped out items that would go on a flat anywhere withing 50 mi of where i was loading/unloading. after writing down the names & loc. i would give to my dispatch & say if i'm in this area again here is some co's we may get set up with to have more choices to haul from.
