Stuck Making no money

A dispatcher with their own trucks in the fleet is a lose lose position for the other contractors. You will always get the scraps after they feed their trucks the filet mignon. Get some business cards made, and go visit every quarry, asphalt and cement plant in a 50 mile radius. Do the same with job sites and find out who is the contractor. Don't wait for a stranger to feed you in this business. It is time to go hunting!!

 

Dispatcher for a dump? Lol, guess no market is safe,

 

If a person is inclined toward graft, larceny, kickbacks and downright bribes it can be a very lucrative position.
'Course, sometimes if they get too greedy they disappear...and somebody else takes their place.

 

That’s the very reason that a company with their own trucks and drivers leases O/Os on ,
Is so they can use them when they need them and don’t have to worry about them when they don’t need them .

 

part of the reason I could never lease on, different industries have different up and down times, but Atleast I can pull the pin and hook to a different wagon with my own, or even just to move our own stuff around

 

True

I leased my rig on with a company that didn’t have any company trucks , but they did have their own trailers and their own direct customers .

so I didn’t have to compete with the company drivers
I just had to compete with the other leased on owner ops ,

and for several years the company didn’t have enough owner ops leased on and they were having to use outside drayage contractors , which cost a lot more then the dedicated owner ops , so it was the opposite of competing with company drivers .
They ran the owner ops ragged and when there was no owner ops left with available driving hours , they had to use the outside companies tractors and drivers .

 

You thought it would be easy, didn't ya!
