After about 2 weeks of getting “it’s already covered; you need 3/6 months of authority”, I just booked my 1st load with Trinity.
I’ve been practicing negotiating for 2 weeks and when it came down to it, I choked. I was so ready to just make money.
Guy caught me off guard when he said $900 on a 1100 mile load and I said $1050.
I could here it in his voice when he said, ‘oh yeah I can get that approved’, that I should have gone up way higher.
somebody shoot me
Well, I got too excited

Oh,Just so you know,(And hopefully you haven't delivered yet) That Load was most likely paying $1600-$1700 to the Broker- Now you can think about that while you smile from ear to ear driving 900 miles for $1050 bucks.
You'll learn quick- If Not Your wife will let you know whos messing up.
