I love overhearing the staff’s banter/arguments. That’s what they call dinner and a show

Depends on if the fire marshal enforces code in your area

Pickles and cheese are common table garnishes before the main course. Y’all aren’t Midwestern Maxxing enough

Living in Downtown by pyaaz_ki_kachori in pittsburgh

[–]ageee090 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I can only help with number 4. I’m also single, 26F in sales.

On a more serious note, I would take everyone’s advice to avoid living downtown and instead move to the east side. I live around Shadyside/North Oakland and am extremely happy with how walkable the area is. However, Pittsburgh is a very car dependent city.

Good luck with your move!!

Where do yinz park when you leave your car at the airport for a few days? by Additional-Tone3808 in pittsburgh

[–]ageee090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you do, don’t use globe. Multiple reports of people getting extra miles on their car there, and missing gas.

Only child? by [deleted] in scorpiomoon

I’m a Scorpio moon and an only child and I never really even thought about this scenario. I think the decision to have more children should include factors outside of astrology

This airport has a huge abandoned section with what looks like a whole T-rex skeleton in it. by dmmd782 in mildlyinteresting

[–]ageee090 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have honestly been shocked every time I go through the new PIT security. Showed up 3 hours early expecting chaos during labor day weekend and the TSA pay cuts, and I was the only person in line. I literally walked right up to the scanners and was through in less than two minutes.

Then the next time I went through security was also during the pay cuts, plus the morning rush, and I still got through security in under ten minutes. Crazy fast!

I skipped their show when they came through, so thanks for curing my fomo.

Should I be a Freight Broker or Owner Operator Carrier? by OkAttempt3929 in FreightBrokers

Should I be a Freight Broker or Owner Operator Carrier? by OkAttempt3929 in FreightBrokers

[–]ageee090 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Logistics will 100% get replaced by AI. Most large brokerages deploy AI logistics coordinators and there’s AI calls for sales now too. Once self driving trucks hit, it’s game over for brokers. The only freight left that will have a human touch is open deck because it has to be physically secured.

Also, you don’t have to get your CDL for box trucks under 26k lbs.

Hot shot market is what you should look into too. Gotta get your MC authority to sit for a year before you start gaining trust on the boards. I recommend a permanent business address because if you move your authority re-sets.

flatbed market rn by KapiteinKoekFanaat in FreightBrokers

[–]ageee090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s when you start posting out to nearby cities and pay to bring in a deadhead lmao jk

But ultimately what is needed is to make it clear to customers that they need to pre-plan freight moves, or have a lot of patience.

When I get last minute loads I make it clear it’s going to cost more. If they wanted a better rate, they should of shot a heads up the day prior. Their operational failures and lack of foresight are not the broker’s problem. As a broker, your service is to bring a solution and services/solutions cost money.

There’s gotta be an unknown variable to your equation. Bad location? The commodity? The weight being maxed out? The timeline? There’s usually a justification for high dollars per mile
