own authority - expenses/year

Skateboardman.....

I know how brokers like to get down,Its no Secret, Hence why I use their services on a limited basis as a Backhaul(never liked that term)....

besides, if your customer service skills are Honed...You Can Handle Most 3pl's......many Of them think carriers dont know certain Lanes/Rates

As For Being happy on What you get..GREAT! You have thr right attitude...Many Folks in this Industry take what they get...

Im still Not very Convinced that you Understand The Concept of......100%

Because If you Really Knew...you would say "MAN,All these years and they Been Cutting that Much from the top"....

Even Though you are Happy What You are Getting........its More than just the Rate You got, It becomes 'personal' when you find How 'truthful' they have been with you

Last thing You want to be Sir is in Denial of the Truth

 

I understand the concept well, I used to run 8 trucks exclusively on direct freight. even had a couple of trucks leased to a competitor , even hired them a couple of times to haul my own loads.

as I say , I don't really worry about whose 100 per cent we are operating from, if I get the rate I want , I don't concern myself with what the other guy is getting, thing is where I am leased now, I am perfectly content.

I simply don't let myself fret over who gets what or how much, I really don't care how much anyone is cutting from the top.

funny thing is when I ran the 8 trucks, 6 guys were leased on to me. every other carrier in the same business their guys averaged 1.75, my guys averaged 2.40 AND I paid for a hotel room every night they were gone , yep even for a lease operator, and they still thought I was screwing them, lol.

its the nature of the beast , always to worry about what the other guy is getting , instead of actually concentrating on what you are getting.


there is a huge difference,

 

My bad, I meant the NASTC or OOIDA card as discussed in this thread.

Thankyou for your wisdom.

 

LOL, I also scratched my head quite a bit on that wondering how bad I screwed myself out of money.

 

Also you can contact ooida they have packages for your permits and plates and ifta the regular o/o stuff

 

I was wondering that myself. Gotta get me one of those....

 

I was getting full coverage on my 2013 for 4908/yr, of course I was going through the carriers ins co.
