    OK, OK, I'll help. You should stay away from the shippers and commodities I like and deal with only the ones I don't like.

    - TQL is always at the top of that list as far as brokerages.
    - Other contenders for 'great' shipper/receivers include Pepsi, Coke and beer distributors
    - I also despise food distribution so you should probably lean that direction.
    - Walmart Distribution Centers. That's what you need to aim for. Always a pleasant experience.

    I also recommend that you pick up and deliver freight in wonderful places like South Florida, Sparrow Point MD, Fargo ND, Denver CO and Atlanta GA.

    I see lots and lots of trucks in these places so surely that's where the money is.

    He seems like the type who uses no punctuation, or incorrect punctuation, but wants to play the role of grammar specialist.

    Doesn't matter to me, cause I ain't reading his #### anyhow.

    Just another troll.

    You need to be more specific. What type of trailer are you pulling? Reefer, van, flatbed.

    For me the first two that come to mind are TQL, and Coyote.

    Sarcasm can run high here on TTR at times. Also some times a thread is so ridiculous you will not get many, if any, serious answers. Like this thread.
    So take things with a grain of salt and stop calling people stupid or idiots.
