look over all the calls. going back and forth. I wouldn't launch until you go through this entire course.

Eric:

potential owner operators. working for a company. don't have their stuff yet. What's the best way to handle setting up their information for them? they are going to be fleet owners. now you business owner. take the complete trucking portal to make sure they are doing the right way. 

-load got rejected, had driver waiting 2 days. drove the stuff back to the shipper. 

They couldn't drop the load off on the day that they told us. drove merchandise back to ATL. how does he get paid for that? detention fees for 2 days but. 

before he left receiver, you have to negotiate. its not your fault. ask for the same amount if possible. that needs to be negotiated before you even leave. if you did it without negotiating, they are going to give you what they want.
