O/O with new authority: looking for freight companies that will accept my carrier packets ASAP.

Yes. All the brokers will use a load boards to move their freight when their regulars are not available. This a good place to start the contact searching.

 

I get that.

However, sloppy preparation and misguided intentions shouldn't be encouraged or rewarded.

I'd tell the guy to go lease onto Crete for $1.30 a mile at this point The loadboards are a royal mine field right now.

 

Who is Double Yellow? How did his story end?

 

Mostly like that.
99% of what is offered isn’t worth looking at; when you respond to something that could work, people try to proud up about how cheap they are.

 

I remember before I even came to TTR. I would just come here etc to view the blogs here. It took me so long to actually figure it out lol. Wow. But I really appreciate this.

 

I think he was disheartened too early - did not even go through one full up and down cycle. He was a smart guy too, he could do other alternative things and so he did. Maybe he was not even cut out for this, working a few months a year...being concerned of lower fuel mileage due to increased air density or something like that. In other words, to say that he failed would not be quite accurate.
.
However, I think he did a great favor to many here of how to start and get going. His thread should be pinned and lots of people asking basic questions would find it there.

 

that Conestoga makes stuff like that good eh?

Its flatbed with tarps load. Either which way it’s that much or ####em.

 

Do I have to read all 98 pages to find out how it ends? LOL
