Beep Beep Roadrunner

I have a few questions for you. Here we go. What do you think about the trailer pool? I'm thinking of dropping it since T2T seems never have them loaded as plan, maybe sometimes but more not than do. I can save $8,880 a year. I was also thinking of getting a refrigerated unit on my own to increase the per mile rate. I have seen some IC's with a few. What do you think? This new contract seems to be having IC's turning their trucks in and leaving. I know a few that just left and went to Landstar. Wow Do you think RR will switch back to letting us broker our own loads again?

Also, the RR agents are so cheap with the loads that it's beyond ridiculous. I called an agent for a load and he quoted me $1.15 a mile with no FSC. I asked who's the broker and called them because I know two of the brokers really well that works there. He sent me the confirmation rate and the load paid $2.45 a mile on 745 miles. I called RR agent back to get more money on the load and states to me the guy won't budge, this is a good offer. I told him to keep the load. Wouldn't this be considered double broker/embezzlement in a sense? Just asking.

 

Sorry posted this twice.

OK everyone. Here we go. I'm about to paste why I think RR started this trailer pool and cancel IC's from booking their own loads. This has a lot to do with stock and after reading what I paste, it might enlightened your understanding as well as mine. It's all

Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc. (RRTS - Snapshot Report) saw a big move in the last trading session, as the company’s shares fell by over 5% on the day. The move came on pretty good volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This continues the recent trend for RRTS, as the stock is now down nearly 15% since Nov 24.


The company, which acquires provides asset-light transportation and logistics services, has not seen any estimate revision over the past month, and the current year earnings consensus hasn’t been in a trend either. This recent price action is discouraging, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future, especially on earnings estimates following the recent slump.


RRTS currently holds a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell), while its Earnings ESP is 0.00%.
Investors interested in the Transportation – Truck industry may consider better-ranked stocks like Knight Transportation Inc. (KNX - Snapshot Report), Landstar System Inc. (LSTR - Snapshot Report) and Old Dominion Freight Line Inc. (ODFL - Snapshot Report), each of which holds a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).


This may explains why the drastic move by RR. If RR can make money from Each IC's per mile without showing the original/true confirmation rate, an IC's will never know what the load actually pays. I mentioned before the RR lied to me about what the load pays and was going to make $1,000 more on a load that pays $2.45 a mile and offer me $1.15. The trailer pool cost $185 per week for a IC's which annually =$8,880 year. They may, just saying may be trying to boost their quarterly earnings since it dropped dramatically at the end of the year. Any opinions is welcome.

 

Well no RR for me now I gotta stay at forward air LTL a while longer. And I was looking forward to book my own loads and make some good money.

 

I was thinking the same. I don't know much about F2F. Do they allow you to book your own loads as long as you haul some of their freight? Sounds like a good option.

 

I have seen IC's standing in the yard looking @the trailer scratch on the side like this is going to cost me some money. The yard dogs don't care. They're too busy on the phone.

 

I can see them running out screaming. They sit in that prison of theirs starring out the window waiting to clock out. You probably scare the living life out of them while they were sleeping. I hope it all works out for you and that it doesn't hurt your PSP at all. I'm really hope they reverse this nonsense RR has going on soon.

I was reading some of the blogs of F2F and Bill seems like a down to earth type of person. I'm going give it some time and maybe start my own authority, hell I'm halfway there anyway.
