    Well said Oscar the KW, I'm not that articulate, Thanks.
    Brianss, don't get me wrong, glad to see new blood come into the field.
    I can't speak for LeftLane, but just a couple red flags on your truck descript for me.
    If your working your way up, GREAT!!! I've been known to pull my hat down and push all them chips in more than once, great feeling when it works.
    But I have no problem saying, if your just jumping in at that level. DO NOT DO IT. for your safety and them around you. Good Luck

    Thank you all for your input guess got a little defensive when you guys said that feeling little jabbed I have read a lot on here and know there is more collective knowledge here then at Harvard the real question guess I was asking is is the money there or are the brokers and economy in the crapper

    I think that's what we are trying to tell you, in a round about way. Someone who has the EXPERIENCE in HH, and someone that is looking to move to the next level, (what you mentioned for specs) will know if the work is out there or not for it. I don't think that anyone is trying to intentionally "jab" you or get you on the defensive.

    I understand that I just know that my loads won't be there all the time and the reason I have not taken possession of my new found obsession wondering if the brokers can fill the cracks once again I thank all for the advise

    Sure they can.
    They start by placing the thin end of a wedge in the cracks.
    Then once the wedge has some purchase they start tapping on the back end.
    Before you know they are wielding a 10lbs sledge hammer driving the cracks so far open that there are more cracks than solid work that all the profits falls out of the ever widening cracks.
