    You gotta get better at negotiating. Lesson one: know your market and market rates. I would of accepted coffee and you started with steak and lobster for life.

    Seriously, learn the lanes. Study that load board like it's a 10 hour a day job. Find a route and stick to it. For example: indy-youngstown-chicago-memphis-indy. But always be looking for the next route for when the current one dries up.

    Since when did we start giving out (not so secret) secrets before getting our lobsters? Pfft, and he needs to work on his negotiating skills?

    Are those rebar? If so may i give you a tip?
    Move that headboard back. As close to the bars as you can. Then stretch your tarp over the headboard.

    Doing it the way in your picture will lead to a lot of quarter sized holes in that tarp.

    If they are flat bars, you are probably fine as is.

    @CJndaTruck, you said you're coming down to CA right? Or have you already come and gone? I'll be emptying out in San Leandro tomorrow, not sure what I'm doing after yet, though. I was too far down on the list to get anything out yet, so probably going to head over to Ripon.

    The bulkhead is to stop forward movement, the bulkhead needs to as close to the load as possible, you don't want them to build momentum if they move
