    Well gents,

    It's been a fun ride. As at least one of you knows, the end of the week is my last day as a broker. I had an offer come in, more or less out of the blue, that I *really* couldn't pass up. I'm moving from freight to freight adjacent. Some of you cats in the Minnesota/Wisconsin area might wind up getting calls for me on my next adventure, but that'll remain to be seen.

    I wanted to take a few minutes to reflect and thank you guys, broker and trucker alike, who've been foundationally helpful over the years in giving me added perspective. I appreciate the opportunity that this forum has presented to both learn and share my knowledge with you all. You're a good bunch, and a dying breed, even if it seems like getting even two or three of you to agree on something was like herding cats.

    All that said, I wish the lot of you well. I'll still be kicking around. Some of you guys (you know who you are, you clever fellas) know who I am and how to reach me. Good luck to each and every one of you.

    Best wishes,

    The Artist (soon to be) Formerly Known as PPNLE

    Be careful where you put them spurs… the wrong person steps on one barefoot after it falls, usually leads to a fight…
    Hiding as a mascot didn’t help…

    Just shy of a decade.

    Thanks man. You're good people.

    Yeah, that's why they're hanging, and not being left around carelessly, lol.

    Selling a product related to trucking. I'd want to clarify with the mods first before spelling it out exactly, since while I'm about to be done brokering, you guys are actually about to be one of my target clientele.
