Welcome back to "The Howl." In Episode 3, I'm putting away the feelings, pulling out the calculators, and giving you a masterclass in dispatching and freight procurement. I’m going to teach you how to stop playing checkers and start playing chess with your business. I'll show you how to avoid the deadly "RPM Trap," use my Triangle Strategy, and uncover the hidden "pocket freight" before it ever hits the public load boards. We are breaking down the entire logistics ecosystem—from Rate Confirmations and BOLs to cash flow and factoring. Plus, I’m sharing my insider broker negotiation tactics, including the highly lucrative "3:30 PM Desperation Rule." If you want to maximize your profit and navigate these freight markets like a pro, this is your blueprint.

What I Cover in This Episode:

• My Triangle Strategy: How to map your loads to avoid dead zones and empty miles.
• Market Geography: Understanding headhaul vs. backhaul markets (and why I warn drivers about the Laredo trap).
• The Logistics Ecosystem: The life cycle of a load, the reality of Quick Pay, and how the money actually flows.
• Broker Secrets: How to negotiate higher rates, set your "anchor" on the phone, and vet the companies you trust with your freight.

In this emotional and gritty follow-up, Luis G shifts gears from business strategy to the brutal reality of the lifestyle.

This episode is a tribute to the "Brotherhood of the Road," featuring practical advice on staying healthy behind the wheel and a hilarious "rookie mistake" story about a weigh station scare that every driver can relate to.

Key Topics:

• The Grind: Flatbed struggles, weather battles, and the windshield view.
• Mental Toughness: Coping with isolation and staying connected to family.
• Health Hacks: avoiding the "roller dog" diet and staying fit in the cab.

In the premiere episode of "The Howl," host Luis G takes listeners back to where it all began: 2018 in South Florida. Facing job loss and a growing family to support, Luis shares his gritty journey from getting his CDL out of necessity to hauling flatbed and reefer loads across the country.

This is the raw, unscripted story of how a driver became a broker—and why he’s now picking up the mic to help others do the same.

• From Driver to Fleet Owner: The 2018 Hustle.
• The "Skimming" Trap: Why transparency matters in brokerage.
• Scaling Up: Building a team during the COVID boom.
