A&A Express Brandon, SD

Think about what your saying. That's 129.400 for a truck that's 109k. look at your settlements it show the forwarding balance on the lease. I don't know how these people sleep at all with such guilt.

 

I think the idea behind the email we got regarding no more financial help for breakdowns is to thin the herd of drivers over here because of the challenging freight market like you said. All you gotta do is barely pay a guy and when his tool breaks down, he is out of business, problem solved.

 

March will be 2 years I'll say that lol. Actually the LTL terminal to terminal is exactly my cup of tea just wish there was more of it. Typically only going to run 1 terminal load a week so the best bet is to run an east coast terminal all the way to west coast and directly back full to the east coast again for decent miles. Otherwise if you run a 1700-2200 mile T2T that's all you're gonna get that week unless you call the RR broker agent who only wants to pay $0.97 all in.

 

If your considering a lease with a@a then go out and shop for a truck on your own. stay away from these people unless you have money to burn and nothing else better to do with your life..

 

Well I have a truck already and I know someone that's making plenty of $ 6 months in so far. He brought his own truck over like me. At 74% no way u can't make $

 

I'm at 94% on RRLTL broker freight (first non T2T load 94%, second consecutive non T2T pays 88% and third consecutive non T2T broker load pays 80%) but that doesn't mean crap if they offer $0.97 all in then you only get 94% of $0.97= $0.91 per mile. So I wouldn't be getting too excited about 74%, all depends on how much the A&A broker steals off the top for themselves and/or they allow you to book your won freight from other brokers as opposed to 'in-house' A&A brokers who can hide the true rate from you. You don't like the rate, so you sit for 2-4 days and all of a sudden hungry driver takes the cheap rate so he can eat and 5 months later has a business failure.

 

RR is a good outfit but the subsidiary a@a is a buy out of RR and they don't treat people very nice if your were not part of the original a@a crew. They think RR employees are a joke and the kid that washes the equipment will tell you so himself. There counting on you to roll the truck as he put it there is a 70% roll over rate from new drivers from RR. Now that the cat is out of the bag so to speak go and ask the little troll the runs the maintenance department to give you an a@a hat and see what happens.

 

Why are they offering u a rate that equals .97 cent? That's makes sense at all. Every time I've had % pay money was made. So I don't see how it can be a problem unless all there friegbt is really cheap plus I'll have my own truck so I don't have to put up with the cheap the drivers using their equipment do

 

I had one of there trailers come apart on me after it was loaded at Schwan's. Two days later the trailer was fixed and no breakdown or retention pay. Tim says "that's trucking"

 

Lol yea ok
