Mr Broker in Chicago, Illinois

OK Bob, obviously your a newbie because you expect a quote but you failed the rest in a big way because you did not provide the specs to quote it. Sounds like you need to stay away from the bigger stuff since you are still reading from your "new book".

I am not an accountant...although I am good at it. For your info, I move a lot of heavy haul. All you said was "I have a DC 9 cat to move from St Marys Landing NJ to La need a quote port to port
rail and truck" and all I wanted to say is in order to quote you need specs. Listen, obviously you have a difficult time with these schools. I don't. Why? Because I don't need to hire these people from these school. I am a broker and would very likely not hire people who came through a "school". I move 19-35 axle loads and have been doing this for longer than you think. Let's just put it this way, anyone can write a book, but not everyone can make money. Stop being arrogant!

Bob,

I agree. This should be a learning and grooming area. There are a lot of misinformed people in this forum. WHere I took offense was the final sentence of your post "I will bet dinner non of you can give me the steps to quote this load" That sounded more belittling than educating. I agree, brokering isn't for the weak. I have paid my dues and have also heard many stories. The only reason I even come to this board is because I want to see if there is something being said about my company. Have a good day.
