There are a whole lotta better ways of making $100+ per day, than being left in the dark by one's own office about teams and moves, while relaying changes via an earpiece, and having one's pockets shook down daily.
From what I've seen of bearding and running for groups and movers, it's only a c@nt hair above being a clerk at the counter in terms of poor pay and being treated as a second class citizen.
However, some have loyal and well-treated troops(Artie's people like him), and shopping for certain types like The Lunatic, Doc,etc..has it's benefits(the playlists!)
JJ, I'd say answering the phones in NYC, large stateside BM, or a large offshore is a better birdseye view of the game.
