Believe it or not, we were at CRST (of all companies!...LOL)...and during the Christmas rush (November-December), we had weeks where we made $8,000-$10,000 after expenses but it's only because they were good paying Fed Ex loads that we were able to get back to back. They paid 70% and we ran under their authority. Now I know, that was not the norm. Most weeks, we averaged about $2500-$4000 as a team, but if it can be done there pulling dry van, I'm sure reefer is much better. I've pulled reefer most of my career but it was always under someone else's authority and always for mileage pay or some BS that didn't make me any money.
Freymiller and own authority...

Are you really saying you regularly cleared 8 to 10k in a single week? Gross, sure. Profit? I don't believe that for a minute.

Honestly, if you're looking at power-only deals or exclusive contracts with a mega you may as well just lease on and not waste the time, effort, and money with your own authority.
There's a reason they do this. You assume 100% of the risk and overhead, and they make money no matter what you do. You can pretty much count on it not being a good deal for you. From what I've seen, these deals appeal to people who have basically failed running under their own numbers, and are too proud to give them up and just lease on somewhere.
Back to your original question, we have run a few Freymiller broker loads. Nothing special about the rates, no drama that comes to mind, and they paid.roshea, Straight Stacks and NJ LADYTRUCKER Thank this. -
