    So I sat out for 4 days checking the weather. Thinking hmmm I'm going on a trip soon maybe I should just stay home another week till I fly out. But nooooo I'm going to go play in the snow and get my new baby all dirty again.

    Yeah it going good now that the holidays are over. They are running me ragged and ive gotton to know some of the agents and already have my favorites. They definatly have freight. The best paying loads are military and port . Other than that its just brokered stuff off the loadboard ,which in my experience, is nothing but a hassle. It is hard to say that its money to be made with the rates the way they are for the entire industry . By the end of this month i should have a good full picture of my numbers to see where im at.

    Me personally though i could see how i would benefit from a system like landstar where they have their own board and can run how u want. With dsv there is no way to see what loads or who has what in which area, just something i have learned along the way of which agents to call in which area. And there is no way to get to a certain area without getting something off the internet load board but they wont work with most brokers, so it is mostly like running blind , never knowing where the freight is going and seems impossible to run in 1 area, which i would prefer to do. Havent figured that 1 out yet

    That does not sound very efficient.

    Wat do u mean. It is just a big learning curve. There is guys here that stay in one area but i havent figured out how to do that yet. Been trying to put together a triangle but havent found the connecting pieces . Only been here for a month and a half
