    Doing is more important than understanding, at first.

    Some shippers will make you wait at the gate and most will not. It's a case-by-case situation.

    Okay. The dilemma I’m trying to get figured out is if I can ride passenger picking up loads with my wife with no ramifications

    I don’t mean to badger I’m just trying to get a understanding of what is and isn’t allowed

    When the broker misstates the dimensions or weight of the load you are picking up and will not answer their phone or email, what are you going to do? You've already wasted your time and fuel driving to be in the situation. Now the broker waits until you are sufficiently desperate you agree to less money AND more free labor to get the load.

    I will try to contact the shipper before even leaving the location I am in trying to book loads to begin with. They do have the shippers company name and phone number on the load board rite? Or is the number just the brokers
