    That is my understanding. It's not what you know but whom.

    @TallJoe I'll give you a high five! I'm really happy you've finally learned the secret of hardcore negotiations!

    On your OTR being in one's blood, I heard a Zach Brown Band song today, it reminded me of your observation of those that claim OTR is a "lifestyle".

    "...You're a ramblin' man
    And you ain't never gonna change
    You gotta a gypsy soul to blame
    And you were born for leavin'"

    Maybe tomorrow will be better, can I call then? ;-)

    Hang 10, buddy.

    What's a really weird Interwebs phenomenon is those that follow other people's threads that they don't even like and make disparaging and mocking comments.

    If you don't like what I have to say and don't have anything constructive to add, take a hike.

    See how easy that is? LOL

    The funny thing is that these rates are not the result of negotiations.I looked them up on various apps , made bids and won. I did not even call. Well, the only wits required is the knowledge of which lanes and what these lanes paid in history so you are not too timid putting your number. On the other hand, I would not be surprised at all to see a seasoned load board hustler to score way better.

    Dude, you're a hardcore point and click negotiator. Your right middle finger is probably made of steel! :)

    I admit though that putting a cap on how much broker's cut could be, would not be such a good idea in terms of this law potentially becoming reciprocal.

    However, if rates go down .. I may change my mind.
    CLICK AND BOOK MASTER.:cool:
    I like it. :D

    People love freight apps, especially immigrants. Quite a few guys o/o I spoke to, said they book their own freight now, while before they couldn't, due to the limited English

    That Steve is a Convoy Master. Most of you guys really got a thing going on.

    Me? I just try and pick up a few leftover loadboard scraps when I can.

    That's why when I retire I'm moving to Central Point OR and haul nothing but weed for Jim Belushi.
