    Why can't you? Were you punished by the mods or something?

    Well hopefully they will give a 1 time pass. Because if @PPNLE left his gig to support something else it must be pretty good. The guy has been here long enough and contributed enough to this forum we all know he is no scammer that comes in to pitch their dispatcher services or life changing freight sales software thinking we are all a bunch of schmucks

    Nah. They don't want us to be conducting business here.

    I've always tried to stick to that rule pretty scrupulously.

    As for the new gig @D.Tibbitt no, not software, not autonomous trucking, truck sales or the like. I think I'm okay if I say it's commercial fleet graphics. It sounds like generally, the same no PMs rule will still apply.

    If that's too much info, mods, please let me know.

    Way back when there were a bunch of guys who were recruiting through the forum. Some were drivers looking for referral bonuses, more were head hunters. They were very careful on the threads to appear 'normal', but a quick perusal of their DMs and it was apparent. Then there were guys like PPNLE who were genuine members, but were openly working a 'suspect' job. It was simpler to just kill the DM ability then to engage in constant surveillance of DMs. At least that's what BullHaulersWife told us in the Schneider Chat room v1 when this topic came up.

    Well, hand off is done. I'm on the road for training next week. Lotta honestly mixed emotions here. It's the right move, but I'll be darned if it doesn't feel a little bad.

    Was brokering just not worth the trouble, anymore?
