1
today i'm gonna show you how to create linked post truck
2
orders why do you need linked post truck orders for example you got a truck in hebron kentucky
3
and he can go to east or maybe go to texas
4
or maybe to california and you don't want to miss loads uh
5
and you want to post a truck but
6
if you're gonna post a truck with three separate orders uh
7
if they can book like two
8
or three loads at a time like you're gonna post from
9
hebron kentucky to east coast with three dollars per mile for example
10
or from hebron kentucky to dallas texas
11
or texas area uh like two dollars per mile or
12
if it's going to west coast like california
13
you're going to post like minimum rate per mile is 1 .8 dollars per mile
14
and if you're gonna post it separately uh
15
when load for example two loads pop up like two laws posted simultaneously for example going to california
16
and going to east coast and amazon will book both of them
17
and you have only one track and it's going to make you a big problem
18
so to avoid this you need to create a post truck with linked orders
19
i'm going to show you how to do it right now
20
so go to post the truck and then you need to create an order
21
so you're gonna create an order for example I get a power only track
22
and I get a team and you need to choose one way
23
and round trip for those who not don't know about this I'm gonna show you step by step
24
so so you're gonna choose the location for example 100 miles
25
or 50 miles and then you're gonna choose the destination for example this one is going to Dallas Texas and then
26
you're gonna choose a date for example for today's date start time right now 5 30 so i'm gonna
27
select 5 30 so start window means uh current time
28
and plus these hours for example if it's 5 30 right now
29
if i'm gonna choose like five hours it can book loads with pickup time until
30
10 sorry it is 5 sorry until 10 30 it's gonna book for example
31
and uh you can choose end date for example
32
if it's dollars it's worth gonna be thousand miles so i'm gonna choose saturday
33
and then until let's say 10 p .m that's it
34
and minimum stem time what is minimum same time it is uh the time
35
when the load is booked it's gonna before booking amazon will calculate
36
if you're to choose for example one
37
and a half hour uh amazon will calculate the current time
38
and the pickup time if it's more than one
39
and a half hour it will book it need you need this function
40
because uh sometimes you have that head
41
and for example uh you we choose 50 miles ahead
42
and for 50 miles
43
if the drag starts rolling this traffic it can take one hour to one one
44
and a half hour so you or duration.
45
Let's choose distance.
46
For example, minimum distance, 900 miles up to 1 ,200 miles and stops only two.
47
And drivers, you don't need to choose them and pay out.
48
You need to be careful here.
49
I'm going to choose like unreal rates right now because this is just to show how to do this.
50
For example, I'm going to choose $5 per mile and $10 ,000 load.
51
But you can choose whatever your driver wants to book like according to the market going to Texas
52
it's two dollar per mile for example for teams on maybe closer to three dollars you're gonna choose yourself
53
so I'm gonna create the order this is the first order
54
so I'm creating it
55
and you need to create the second link order for example
56
as I said before my truck can go to East Coast
57
or New Jersey Maryland loads or maybe go to tech California too
58
so I'm gonna link order and then confirm
59
so here we can see link it order one is created you can create up to three others
60
so you're gonna create the second one
61
so you need to edit this one they will not give you new window you
62
so you're gonna edit the old filters for example
63
Hebrew and Kentucky this time you choose for example Teterboro New Jersey for example 100 miles
64
or 200 miles
65
and then again you're gonna edit the schedule
66
this time for example let's say minimum miles can be like 600 miles
67
or even 500 miles and mic stops too
68
and payout also let's choose like eight dollars
69
and ten thousand dollars just to how to just to teach you how to do this
70
so yeah you're gonna submit it
71
and again you're gonna check the link order box and confirm
72
so as you can see two linked orders this means
73
if one of them is fulfilled the others are going to be cancelled automatically so
74
for example we can create up to three so you're going to create one more you're going to see now
75
and if one of them books the load the two others are going to be cancelled
76
so you are not going to book uh three loads
77
or two loads at a time if you have only one track in one place
78
so the same way you're gonna create for example the auto type power only
79
it's the same you can create the i mean change the
80
location for destination like california let's say san bernardino california
81
and then the others like you're gonna see for example until uh california it's gonna be around 2 ,000 miles
82
so let's choose like 1 ,800 miles up to 2 ,500 miles
83
and three stops maybe 14 drivers
84
and again $8 per mile to $10 ,000 just to show you
85
so really you're gonna submit a link order confirm
86
so as you can see the Amazon will automatically create this three orders link it to each others
87
and if one of them books a load the two others are going to be cancelled
88
and it will avoid
89
you to make mistakes in booking two three loads simultaneously for only one truck as i said
90
and also it's going to give you flexibility for example
91
you cannot post the truck for from one place to going
92
to east coast in the california with one post truck because the as you can see market rates are different
93
uh based on the location you are going
94
if you're going to california from kentucky the rates are going to be lower
95
but if you're going to go to east coast it's going to be higher
96
so you cannot do it with one post truck but
97
if you're going to do separate post trucks it can book two loads
98
so that linked post orders are the best enjoy

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
