    You are likely going to get the avoid list. Passing the name on of a good customer goes a bit far in terms helping out. Now, as I develop more personal relationships on TTR I am willing to pass on leads to people I become friends with but not put it out here for anyone with a computer to see.

    There is a balance and I think when it comes to accounts drivers tend to talk to freely about accounts and rates. It is very easy for a smart person to put 2 and 2 together and go after an account.

    Now there is good money for everyone. Just don't want to give you MT GOOD MONEY.

    Here is the good news, if you are smart and take the little tid bits people drop, pull on the thread a little, do some research, then it will all unravel before you yes. I have made comments about different types of markets and only 2 or 3 people have actually followed up on those comments. I am sure more have looked into and not asked me about it but most don't ever go past just reading something.

    My business is largely built on research and overreaching.

    I believe you would get more responses about which brokers to STAY AWAY FROM. And that will somewhat thin the herd for the ones that might throw you a decent rate once in a blue moon.
