Roadrunner transport

Yea 2 a month right?? Well #### run broker loads the rest of the month!!

 

Got tired of the cancellations on the loads is why. Good luck w them maybe it will play out better w you at the company.

 

Tobytob, how's it going man. I have a question about fuel surcharge if you don't mind.
Say I take a load to Cali, terminal run for $1.05, do they add surcharge on top of that and if so, is it included in total before you leave. Reason for being is say I want a 50% advance for fuel and what not. 1.05 rate total from where I live would be total $2300, but including surcharge that total will be $3600.


Also, I'm starting with rr out of Atlanta this week,orientation wed and thur. Driving for 13 years but this will be my first oo adventure


thanks in advance, Sammy

 

Sammy, fuel surcharge is always added into the terminal rate, therefore if the rate is 1.05 fav is $.44, which bumps the rate up too $1.49. So if your total is $3600, they will give you 60% of that up front.

Good luck, atl should treat you well since you run out of there. I'm not a fan of that terminal!!

 

Awesome! Appreciate the prompt response

 

What part of the country are you from brother! I am considering Lease purchase with RR until I get my own truck. Any thoughts on L/P. I should have enough by next May and was thinking about getting started with RR because I would like to get some experience in brockering my own loads. I use to be with JCT enjoyed being my own boss just did not like dispatched loads!

 

Can anyone give me any info on RRTS/M Bruenger? I am thinking about leasing a truck through Arrow and haul reefer for M Bruenger. Any input would be appreciated.

 

Txqtrucker, I had a friend leave RRTS and go over to mbruenger, he was back at RRTS in 3 months. He stated the loads paid great, but they didn't want to run him, everything was ks-tx,il,in,ga and back KS. He hated it.

I live in the north east, I do well with RRTS, but I think I'm going to move
on with my own authority. As stated I just wanted to use this as a stepping stone, to see if I could handle dealing with brokers.

RRTS is good though. I wouldn't touch a lease purchase truck, just my
opinion!i would hate to get tied to RRTS for all those years or that truck.

If you read thru this thread I talked about it. Other than that all else is good if your willing to do it your way and not theirs!
