    Seen this guy before and he runs his own company and spits out all sorts of BS. I would not work with this guy at all. He takes a lot of low end guys and runs them I think based off of some of the stuff I have seen in the past for him.

    Even he doesn’t get it. He’s talking about cutting another brokers throat but not increasing carrier rates. He seems like an educated retard

    I'm curious what you guys are talking about but not curious enough to click on a YouTube video involving truckers/trucking/brokers.

    I just can't do that. It's like listening to the idiots talk about religion and politics on the CB or watching one of the 24/7 news channels. Makes you dumber, not smarter.

    Sat radio. Trucking channel. It’ll make you depressed that you do the same job as the idiots that call in
