Securement

[QUOTE="Chewy352, post: 6073425,. Op is obviously going to do something specific because he's not going to haul much general brokered freight with a 40 ft trailer.[/QUOTE]

Why can he not haul general brokered freight with a 40 ft.? I do it on a daily basis and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

 

Its funny how someone who posts a question in the "Hotshot forum" will always get a response from a "Big Rig Trucker" who never has anything positive or constructive to add to the conversation. The majority of these big rig guys only come into the hotshot forum to put down or tell someone why what there trying to do is not feasible and they should just by an 18 wheeler.
