The journey begins - purchased a truck.

Looks like a bunch of short posts to build longevity on the forum without understanding the space? I dunno.

 

That's pretty awesome - I'm glad he took your advice, not for the fact he left the industry, but that he perhaps learned from you that he had potential that he hadn't realized.

 

*I'll deal with YOU at a later junction . . .*

 

You can beat me with the bloody end of my arm that you tear off me - but, because I just can't keep my mouth shut . . . .

Did she say what you DID look like to her?

 

Another rinse and repeat LED sign going to a highway billboard site in New Britain, CT. I recalled the installer to find there's no way the rig is getting to the site, so they're organizing a day cab and 48' flat for the 'final mile'.

On the up-side, a certain member here , if available, and situation pending - has agreed to an interview.

Interesting negotiation on this one - it's that moment where you realize you should have shot higher, but you got what you get.

It's a CHR load. Unfortunately. The agent I usually deal with is apprehensive offering anything outside a $12/mile range, because CHR doesn't understand . . . anything essentially. Due to it being a CHR load, any other agent can run it on the LS board. I initially called my regular gal on it, she was gun shy - so - I thought it would be good to call the "cut and paste" A. Taylor agent, and offer a high bid. So CHR would get a 'range'.

Be darned - kid called CHR and they Ok'ed it, and also 'trapped' the load for 15 minutes.

I quickly call my gal and explain - she tries to bis $100 lower to get the load, but it's locked out to her. I apologize and explain my mentality, she's good with it, but I think it may have taught us both a lesson.

Cut and paste gets the load, and here we are. My gal normally cuts out $1,000 load, $1,000 unload, FSC @ $1/mile - A. Taylors' crowd wants to fight me tooth and nail on this BS.

Next time will be different - I'd love to steal their specialized freight - heck, all their freight from those ######## if I could. They understand zero about the business. Everything from hotshots to specialized trailers, and they get the worst customer service ever with these clowns.

Rant over.

 

I was thinking “ 2022 Under Armor model of the year “ but at least she didn’t pick you as a local Amazon driver.
