    The whole trip is was thinking of what I was going to do if it got rejected, and had to file an insurance claim. Almost thought I was going to have to start a post asking Chinatown who is hiring in my area..

    I won’t ever work with that particular broker again. I got called and lied to because they were desperate to move a load that was so late getting delivered.

    Glad it worked out for you!! You learned some valuable lessons you won't soon forget.

    1. LS has some great agents, also has some lying double brokering maggots that will say/do anything to make a small commission. Learn the good ones!!!

    2. Avoid sheetrock.

    3. Avoid Home Depots

    4. Buy some edge protectors. They are cheap!!

    5. Never, ever accept a keep dry load you don't have tarps to cover.

    If I only had a few dollars for all the lessons I have learned over the years. I still have a brain poot every now and then!! One of those what was I thinking moments!!

    I hope load pays enough?
    I really don't like Home Depots. Even when I show up on time for appt there's some other guy getting unloaded, so I end up getting unloaded late and now I'm late for next appt.

    I never hauled sheetrock load that didn't require at least 6ft tarps. I still throw some plastic underneath to prevent any water damage.
