    I see what you are trying to do, but the difference is generalizations vs specific hard numbers. I grade your attempt to stir up trouble at a C minus.

    no, I did a bit better than that. I already got one booked out of Minnesota. its 15k around buck and a half. there is abit of difference when discussing rates. if someone wants to underbid four wheelers at a 1.30 they are welcome to it, rotflmao.

    difference is, I got paid pretty good on my 2200 pound load, knew what I was getting into when I loaded it, and had the for wheelers booked before I ever finished loading the load to elpaso, and had my load out of Minnesota booked the day after I loaded the elpaso. I will still end up on the plus side .

    i am also seeing that some of you seem to have some sort of underlying unhappiness at the moment, it would be better to lay it out upfront, instead of offhanded remarks. some of us might could help. spyder, i am coming thru Louisville this weekend, you or flightline gonna be in the area?

    just don't post high rates, lol. nobody is gonna steal the cheap ones. rates are like love interests, sometimes you have to take a cheap one, to get to a good one.

    Skateboard, I wish I was. Been a long time since we got together. But I just booked a load paying over 2.50/Mile, delivers thirty miles from my house.

    I'll spend the weekend at home, and if nothing pops up with a crap I'll probably bounce up to Jacksonville or Brunswick Monday afternoon. With the baby on the way I can't sit home for two weeks like I'm used to.

    Welcome duddle. I had the same feeling as you in orientation. By the end of the first day I knew I'd come to the right place.

    Don't forget to get set up on the load board before you leave Louisville.

    Pete, until you learn more, you might want to get to the Midwest, and stay there.

    Not trying to throw spyder a life jacket but in the first post he was referring to when Pete literally copied and past available loads with rates and lanes which isn't the brightest idea on a public forum. And then when he responded to skateboard that was merely what was he getting out of El Paso. Which he didn't ask where it was going and how many miles or shipper info etc.
