Hey guys, the whole point of this post was to see if others felt like I did, that my original post was not all that religious. It really is not that big of a deal. You Rock and have an amazing day!

It's all good Scott. We must have posted about the same time, see post #15

Hey OVM, I don't mind posting in the Loading Dock, I can definately write articles about growing closer to God, living life as a believer and a whole lot of Biblical teaching. I am not sure this article falls under that type of article is all I am saying. But that is my opinion and not EO's...

Thanks for the encouragement Rocketman. I will think on that. I am just tired of God, The Bible and prayer being a "bad thing" in our society. People have successfully got prayer taken out of schools, The 10 commandments removed from court houses and the mention of God is now politicaly...

Very funny Lawrence......

Hey all, I posted an article that was immediately banished to the basement files here on EO. I thought the article would genuinely be helpful with situations that we expediters come across. The powers that be, here at EO, thought that article was to religious or something. I was wondering...

Understood and I respect that. Thought this was more a lesson on life and dealing with stuff on the road than a religious lesson but hey, we all see things differently...

Tire goes flat, load gets cancelled, you get shorted on your pay, shower time and no water pressure, someone treats you disrespectfully, the scales say you gained 5lbs, the Dr's report says.... How do you deal with moments like these? It is very easy to find ourselves dwelling on a negative...

Ok, just looking at your questions, you need to read a lot of posts and make a lot of phone calls. Get a notepad and write down the answers to your questions. The bottom line is what are your goals? How much money do you need to make to support your family? That is different for everyone. There...

Just sitting here thinking about you. You are amazing, there is no one like you. You are awesome at what you do and are highly valued by God. Yeah, you blow it from time to time, we all do. You were created for greatness, if you feel like it or not. Through it all, you are loved. The bottom...

Weekend run! North Carolina to Toledo = Family time on Sunday. God does answer prayer!

In Brighton, MI and getting some grandbaby time in while waiting for the next one.

I really respect your experience and knowlege but I think a couple things were misunderstood. The original post showed one quote from UPS Freight (their base online rate) All the other rates that you are looking at come from two website and they are indeed freight brokers. That is why I...

Buffalo, NY and Erie, PA are good areas. Talk to your carrier, i would park between the two. Drive safe.

I guess I probably do get confused quite often. But as a shipper if I am looking for a quote to ship my 2 pallets to Detroit and this company handles the logistics and assigns my load to one of these carriers or puts it on a bid board isn't that brokering? SAFER Web - Company Snapshot...

Wasn't really looking for anything other than what I would get charged to ship 2 pallets at 2000lbs. Thought the information was interesting enough to share. Your positive encouraging posts always make me smile. Have an amazing day!

Freightquote.com and freightcenter.com are 2 different sites who give you a search engine to search rates, they also post on the bid boards. They have a discounted rate per mile with the carriers quoted above and then add their fees for those carriers on Non-Expedited freight. Though they list...

Yeah, these are base online quotes off broker web sites. Just google "freight rate quotes" and you will find a bunch of them. The last quote listed was from UPS Freight and their regular customers likely would get a huge discount. (Like they give the brokers above) Again they are LTL not...

Just thought you might like to know...

Been shopping shipping rate quotes. Keep in mind the rates quoted are LTL and NOT expedited Expedited should be substantially more. Things may be a little jumpled because I copied and pasted from a few different sites. I quoted a 2000lb, 2 pallet, 257 mile run. Standard Cargo Van load...
