    Some of us weren't born doing RGN, how is a person who has years of driving experience, but never done RGN supposed to gain knowledge other than ask questions.

    No one was born doing RGN's, sparky... IF you're buying an RGN, anyonewith an ounce of common sense should know what types of securement equipment he/she needed. ESPECIALLY giving that they're already hauling for their customer, allegedly... It's really not complicated It's simple.
     
    ElmerFudpucker and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    So how would he learn BEFORE he buys it? THIS topic is what's also wrong with the industry... experienced drivers being negative towards drivers who want to learn something new and learn to do it right.

    IF you think him buying a RGN determines the securement equipment he needs, you really shouldn't be commenting... You obviously have no clue, either. IF a person doesn't know what tools he/she needs to do a job, one has to question if that person is QUALIFIED to do the job. Again, it's NOT complicated it's simple.

    You still haven't answered the simple question...how does one gain the knowledge to do a job without asking questions? At least I contributed in a positive way.

    And I have no clue...it's amazing stuff like this made it without flying off my trailer

    Yah, you probably are. If you COMPREHEND what I wrote, they've answer is definitely there. Those are cute little loads guy. Kudos, to you. Maybe, someday, we'll you can figure it out... General freight. I guess it paid $22 bucks/mile too, right? It's rhetorical, no answer needed.
     
    ElmerFudpucker Thanks this.

    Well those blue crates used to pay us a half decent rate out of CA. We got undercut by 60% by the “competition”. You make some decent points but your a #### about all of them.

    Don’t do that, hand. He’s not bragging about the size of the load, he’s showing his professionalism.

    1. It’s unprofessional. The very best guys in the business would never put another pro. “He that is diligent in the least will be diligent in what is great.”

    2. You aren’t in competition with him. The goal is to be the best version of you, not to be the end all be all alpha and omega of OSOW.

    3. It shows the hand you were dealt. Hide your cards.

    “How does it show my cards, Six?”

    In this business, the only person that can help you is the driver who was there before you. Everyone at the top knows each other and network. If you have never needed help, guess what? You’re nowhere near the top. If you have received help in the past, you PAY IT FORWARD. Don’t crap on someone who needs help if you received help.

    Six back quiet.

    Wayne makes one excellent point. The guy has already been pulling freight for the customer. He knows what securement he needs.

    The freight dictates what securement is needed. Not the trailer.
