Man you guys love to put words in people's mouths. Just think, if y'all spent half the time on load boards as you did here trying to stir the pot you might find that really good paying freight you all complain about never getting.
Mommas_money_maker Thanks this. -
hey, you picked up the spoon first, lol

Just remember, there are NO Mercer agents on here trying to recruit drivers and/or push their freight.Logan76 Thanks this. -

That being said, I understand it costs money to hop around (trust me, I REALLY understand)
For those of you who did not know or follow along, I started out on this forum with QC doing a dedicated run. Last year they were cutting my rate by almost $1,000 per run so i left and went to Schneider to their choice program. It was not a good decision and things were so-so. QC called me back and offered me my run at the same original rate PLUS $250 a run to retain me on the gig so i went back. Back in November they lost the account to A&R and I had to find a new job. I went to Pape and got my foot in the door with pulling skateboards and I like it. Their system is more of a consistant based load type and you run regular runs to more of a regional place. Which is perfect if you are not behind the 8 ball as I am with basically having 2 months off w/o pay and a morgtage to pay. So I decided to take the leap to Landstar so i could do some longer haul/higher revenue stuff to get the bills caught back up. Sure aftter I get caught up I may wish I had stuck to a more local thing, but I also enjoy booking my own loads, and going where I want to. In the end, i think I will be happy here as long as I operate as if I was running under my own authority. -
Ok, now back to the bickeringMommas_money_maker, sewerman and LSAgentOZR Thank this. -
SHC if I wasnt working for American Transport Inc (which operates like LS) I would be working for LS and would be talking to LSagentOZR also. I have aligned myself with a few agents as sometimes in a certain area they have the good loads but I stay with my one agent and only eyeball our loadboard for 95% of it.
LSAgentOZR Thanks this.
