THIS IS GETTING WAY RIDICUOLOUS!! ENOUGH ALREADY!!

" Rules for Posting on the Forum
We want to remind our users that our forum is a place to ask questions, comment, and help others in the industry. "

On the first page, as in the number of post you can see from top to bottom before going to page 2, there are 24 post.....21 OF THOSE ARE LOADS!!!!...2 guys are wanting info and opinions on trailers, and 1 for what seems to be family support.

Can you PLEASE list your loads on the LOAD BOARD!!! That's in one of those little orange boxes that says "LOADS". It's bad enough shippers and brokers try to push us around to control our trucks the way it is, you don't need to do it on here too. Try to follow the rules, it's not that hard.

LOADS go in the LOADS box......and bitches, moans, groans, complaints, and general topics go in the FORUM.

That's my 2 cts, you can keep the change.
