He was attacked pretty hard. with all the "he's going to kill someone". Slow down safety Sams

9 times out of ten you know you can get someone to show you how to strap it down. And if its wrong it will be falling off by the time he takes the turn out of the parking lot because the newb hits the curb coming out.

You want to know about getting premo loads so does everyone else why would they tell you?

Personally if you have all this money I would goto vegas bet it all on black your chances are better

He was attacked sir? Excuse me, but he insulted several people here before he insulted me. All I did was remind him of the rules of this forum.

He did attack you I agree that was not right. But all the responses were off topic and you could tell he was getting more and more frustrated with it. To get him banned because he felt cornered in his post. A lil harsh get some thicker skin. I would of loved to got on here and read his mis adventures every night. And I know here comes all the nights in shining armor to attack me.
Bottom line he has no clue about the Industry and will fail.

I have no need of a knight in shining armor. I can and do take care of myself.

The truth of the matter is, he had no concern for not only his own safety, but also had little concern for anyone else's. We are certainly not going to contribute to someone's willingness to get themselves and everyone around them killed.

You know what, I normally keep my mouth shut during these little quips, but after having read the first 3 pages, you're pi$$ing me off. The FACT is that whether you like it or not, there ARE dues to pay in this business. I'm paying mine AGAIN now for having been out and now back in, but that's beside the point. Whether you like it or not, you'll end up paying your dues. HOPEFULLY, you won't kill someone else when you kill yourself because you THINK you know it all.

You seem to think you can just show up here, make light of safety concerns, and babble on about not being rocket science and so forth.... well, if the pay reflects it as you say, why would you want to run with us anyway? And, why would you show up here, post your arrogant remarks, and expect no one here to not have something to say about it? Go back and read your own first post.... I KNOW, I KNOW, and more I KNOW made up the first 90% of it.

As for a means to a peaceable end here, since you won't consider working for or signing onto a company and you don't seem to want to consider anyone's advice here, would you consider paying for a load securement school or training if you could find it? It would prove beneficial for all persons on the highways.

Just becasue its "legal" doesn't mean it's safe! I know when I need to sleep and when I am safe to drive. Fight the HOS. Write your Congressman.

There is no such thing as a "BACK-HAUL" everything has a start and stop point, If it needs to be moved then it is a load, period. Insurance, tires, fuel,etc... aren't any cheaper heading towards your home than they are going away. BACKHAUL is BS.

nahhh, ya'juz callz'em up an asks if they are a rip-off broker or a good'un...

the good'unz ul hang up on ya...



funny... I don't remember all these ruffled feathers from last week...

I know I don't have much to say around here, but I drove for TMC for a short time and I went through the load securement training. Before that, I thought I new what I needed to know, and I was sadly mistaken. I learned a whole lot. I think that in this guys case is that if he was to get a load secured and to it's destination without falling off the trailer or killing anything, a couple of load claims might shut him down. Like using chains with no edge protectors on maybe drywall. I don't think any broker will work with him long.

I think he knows what he's doing and just yanking your guys chains.
Worked for me.
He now has a 500 mile radius in Tennessee all to himself.
