Hello, not a trucker but working with one!

Hello everyone, wanted to introduce myself. I'm Brenda and I work with my dad who has been a trucker for as long as I can remember. He got his own authority last year and he has been working here and there since then, mostly with CH Robinson, but now wants to transfer his dispatching and all other office-type responsibilities to me so I've been working on understanding everything about... well, everything. I don't know if it's evident by now, but I'm a little lost so I am hoping to get a little help here and eventually be able to help others as well.
I came across this board when googling several questions I've had and it seems to be full of pretty knowledgable and helpful people so I'm looking forward to talking with y'all

 

Thank you for the warm welcome! I think I know what you mean by finding information I wish I hadn't, I found myself reading through a "lot lizard" thread my first day here, yikes!

 

Thanks! I guess I didn't get that far in the lot lizard thread, and i won't be going out of my way to do so haha
