    'Shrug my shoulders'
    So what?
    That's a kit - a key to success.
    Houses in Elk Grove Village go for over $450 000 the last time I checked.
    Owners of those white volvos live there comfortably and their lawns look better than the ones in your trailer park with a septic reservoir.

    It is IL so I guess they don't have to worry about guns. Ha Ha but really you are a little high. https://www.zillow.com/elk-grove-vi...egionId":24568,"regionType":6}],"mapZoom":13}
    400K and looks like they are having a hard time selling for those prices. Nice housing area at least but in IL I would never agree with the policies to move to that state.

    I don’t know. I guess you never see me because I don’t hang around russian bath houses and the back of strip clubs.

    They sell all right. That link clearly shows it in the listings. Besides, I am saying about the last sells around here that actually took place.

    What would I worry or not worry about guns?!

    It is a US Citizen Right so I would never agree to it. And the reality is I do not own a gun, but I grew up owning lots of guns.

    It matters cause when POS brokers lie to you "that's all I've got in it" trying to convince you that you're getting all of the money. You as a driver need to know what's the original rate so that you can negotiate and not haul for 2.00 if original rate pays 3.50.

    Then go direct to the shipper and get that 3.50.

    What good would it do you to know the broker is getting 3.50? You’d say 3.50 and he’d still laugh at you and hang up the phone. The load would still move for 2 if that’s what the market is. Knowing the load pays 3.50 isn’t going to change the fact that there are way more available trucks on the spot market than there is available loads.
