    That's is also Opus's view, and anyone that doesn't have an ego bigger than their trailer.

    Several of the esteemed members that would instantly pounce on a new comer for not making a minimum of $1,000 day, and would always point out how grand they were, have left the building.

    They never mentioned they'd been in the business for 20 years, or had it handed down from daddy.

    Only that the newcomer was ####. Because that individual wasn't like them.

    Well. Reap the whirlwind.

    I went to 13 schools in 8 states by the time I took my GED after 10th grade and started college.

    One thing I abhore is a bully. And I have aot of experience with them, and will go right at them.

    The measuring stick was always money. I never talk money until someone wants to start talking out their ###.

    Then I'll post my payday. Or a trip. Or a statement. But then no one ever wants to post one of theirs. Why??????

    Like I said. Reap the whirlwind.

    Amen.

    Why would anyone actually not know if they're making money or not?

    Yes and no. About 70% of what I run is between two brokers out of two different shippers. All of that is out and back, round trip stuff save for a stray one to the northeast or California once in a blue moon. But none of those loads ever hit a load board.

    I’ve always heard ITS was better for open deck but I’ve just never looked into them before. I do fine with DAT aside from far out west.

    You know what? I haven’t check honestly. I cancelled my DAT about a year ago. I saw you mentioned moving over to DAT recently. Have you made the switch? Does ITS still have more open deck freight? I used to run them both simultaneously and there was no comparison.

    Ten4. We run very similarly. Things may have changed since I last had DAT and ITS simultaneously to compare side by side. Just wanted to share my experience with you in case you wanted to look into it. Might be losing out on more freight opportunities with DAT versus ITS.
