    that's like saying I cut my legs off and cant walk, but other than that everythings cool.


    do a search peanut, look for Louisiana transport, universal am can, mason Dixon, great American lines.

    I was mason -Dixon for a while, didn't like playing the agent game, if the agents broker freight they make more than giving it to lease drivers, and many of the agents had trucks of their own.

    the making more brokering freight was confirmed by hq in warren ,mi as being allowed. that's when I left.

    I would ask if the 2000 miles is the loaded miles or does it include dh.
     
    realsupatrucka Thanks this.

    the parent company is actually universal and they own great American, mason Dixon and la. transport and several other companies supposed to combine them all at some point.

    another thing is they assign you to an agent and if ya want to change and be assigned to another AGENT(TERMINAL) , the origninal agent has to give their permission. they hate to do this as apparently they get somewhat of a cut from everything you do.

    maybe it will work out, but I just didn't like their setup
