    It's pot luck. My very 1st solo load out of Richfield was a broker load. Went for a long time without seeing after then caught 2 back to back.

    I ran a load history on that particular broker. Whatever it is they're running, it ain't beer. I don't know what it is. The category it falls under is kind of a weird "catch-all" category. And, whatever the commodity is, it's real heavy. Every load is 44-45k. They pay decent, relatively speaking, but I couldn't possibly say it's worth the money if you're burning that much fuel on every load. Perhaps the midwest loads would be worth consideration, but not the ones going through the mountains. Hard pass on that broker.

    Popcorn probably not necessarily, unless you and I are talking on the phone lol. Here's the shortest version possible. I already told you about his CAN/DUV stuff. That still blows my mind. I have never once received a call from them for less than $3.40 but I guess every smart salesman knows a sucker when they see one. I guess I expected some kind of insight or knowledge that I wouldn't get from another BCO. I just don't understand how it's possible that I know more than him with 8 years less experience. It's mind-blowing. Most certainly disappointing. I'm not gonna pretend I can fill a book with truck knowledge. But dam, man. I can't even listen to him talk anymore. It's GD embarrassing.
     
    Suspect Zero and OnTheLevel357 Thank this.

    When did the logo change? Saw a 19 series earlier and the door lettering was different.

    I didn't get a real good look, I spend most of my time around Millis tricks looking to see if maybe it's @keen98 or @Goobr54 but caught out of the corner of my eye the lettering was plainer, blander. Cheap looking.

    I only know it was a 19 because I caught the duels un.my mirror after.

    Well I can't speak to the new trailer design, I don't have a Facebook page and it won't let me see anything without one, but for the door lettering I caught today..... stick with the old style.

    Yeah I don't like that new trailer design at all. They need to get a graphic designer that knows what they're doing.

    The trailers like they use for local shuttles up around Milwaukee are the nicest design. Simple and to the point.

    Like this model...

    The current design is really cluttered, especially the ones with the MTI advertisements all over the skirts. The new design they have on their web site looks like pure ####.
