    Even though I am almost half your age, I am sticking to the old fashion way, to keep the man's word. Even if spot market jumps 100% overnight, I will still finish my prebooked loads.
    Think about brokers canceling your prebooked loads, because they found someone cheaper. It's only TQL and few other low life brokers pull that kind of crap

    Having thought about it, in a way he is right ...but let's not get in a twist over this.

    I would still cancel a no soul broker load, if the money was convincing... 24 hours prior.

    I apologize for polluting like that. I've been saying too much.

    I felt in conflict with what I said. My integrity was stirred up. I did cancel loads in favor of better ones.

    For some of them, I used rather lame excuses. Like that one that I busted my back tailgating 2K lbs pallets which rendered me unfit to proceed to a pick up... As a matter of fact, I was ok but that was bad ### load.

    This forum gets on my mind too much.

    All of us, comic book characters is what we are.

    I created 3766 posts. Lets say you spend 3 minutes for each. 188 hours. Almost 8 days straight just typing the stuff. Probably 3 times as much reading what others said. Almost a month... day and night just sitting here. Is it not nuts?

    @TallJoe

    I think you should always speak your mind (in a way that is a good addition to the conversation).

    I have been a fly on the wall since the beginning of this thread. I enjoy hearing the different opinions going back and forth.

    It makes it more interesting and stimulates thought on these different subjects.
     
    062 and TallJoe Thank this.

    I agree. I felt like Tall Joe was Clint Eastwood (Blondie) in the good bad & the ugly who shot the rope hanging around Tuco's (me) neck from a distance, saving him hanging to death! LOL

    "It's no joke, it's a rope, Tuco. I want you to stand up there and put your head in that noose..."

    Sometimes, though, when you speak too quickly you run yourself into a goat's horn. Looking like a fool. For example, @rollin coal was right about me being wrong about that price gouging. I was too vain to admit that , even after reconsidering. Well, I do it now. @T-Dune is right too about keeping higher standards, in a general sense. Although I am on @Scooter Jones side. I am not that uptight about the reputation and such...Maybe I am wrong.
    Therefore it is better to keep yourself far from the keyboard sometimes.
