    It's a shame , a lot of you either sell yourself short or get taken advantage of

    reading all these posts bout how guys roll over for brokers ,I have come to the conclusion I could make a pretty penny selling freight , even double broker freight.

    Don't pass up a chance to edumicate. Those big contracts can have some fairly hefty performance incentives, and there will be times that paying to move a load at a substantial premium actually saves the carrier money.
