I asked you a simple question. If you do not want to answer it that's fine. I did not say I knew anything or am an expert in anything.
Good luck to you.Chewy352, dclerici1, johndeere4020 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Breathe a little. The segment of this industry you are inquiring about is specialized. Very. Dry van, bulk, reefer.....none of that has much applicability when it comes to quoting OSOW freight. You NEED experience. Maybe try working open deck freight for a bit, and easing into some OD stuff.....then both OS and OW. Don't just hop on here; ask about "oversize shippers" and think a google search is going to yield great results. You NEED experience. That may not be what you want to hear; but it's the truth.Mudguppy Thanks this. -

OSOW is over-size, over-weight. OD is over dimension. With all due respect; lacking even basic knowledge of terminology......you have no business attempting to quote this kind of work. None.dclerici1, Mudguppy, johndeere4020 and 3 others Thank this. -

What I am trying to drive home is this: you NEED to learn about this on someone else's dime. You cannot jump in and try to broker this kind of freight cold turkey. One large mistake and you will be done.dclerici1, LadyAngelag327, johndeere4020 and 3 others Thank this. -
Because a small opendeck load will not drain your bond and your life savings as well as anything of value you own.
An OD/OS/OW brokered by you in the wrong transportation company. Can cost you everything. Google YouTube
Please start small. Don't jump into an select group with out experience.281ric, LadyAngelag327, passingthru69 and 5 others Thank this.
