    Well time add another Amazon customer to my do not haul list.
    Most all of them are slow but 4 hours and counting for a live unload on Sunday night really?

    Call in as soon as it's hits your Qualcomm have pulled. The ones they're cracking down on an telling sorry you booked it it's yours are the ones who are picking one a week out and then tying to fill in with INSERT SHIPMENT. Then days later trying to get everything pulled cause they weren't able to build that super awesome week.

    Sometimes you gotta pay to play...you do that I book out and back fill its like there going to do everything in there power to mess it up...I did that 2 weeks ago and got jammed with a 400 mile dead head and Schnieder had loads going there....the times were off like an hour...cant change it blah blah blah...they left loads sitting ...guess service doesn't really matter


    Be Safe Out There

    Here's a couple things pulled from online

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]


    Thats a fuel surchage chart i found at cheeseman trucking (cheeseman lol)
    Table on the left is for LTL, right is for truckload.

    https://cheeseman.com/tools/fsc


    Soo if national average for fuel this week was $2.41 .28 a mile for FSC seems fair from the little bit of info I'm reading.
    PA has very high fuel taxes soo u get screwed over there a little bit. Here in Ohio I've seen $2.46 at a peelot which is .41 less than what u saw in PA.
    Also supposedly all companies factor FSC differently, there is no system set in stone. I don't know if that's true but from the looks of the info thats out there I think that might be accurate.

    Any FSC experts feel free to chime in.
    I don't think i know enough about this myself.

    Supposedly I've been "called out" on youtube, even though I wasnt even talking about myself but rather commenting on yet another bad mileage contract and then responsing to a video @duddie posted on my page talking about mercer.
    What that "person" might have missed is that i have posted proof of my numbers every single time I've been called out and this time will be no differerent.
    My first full week out after getting my truck back looks to be about close to 2700 miles at $1.84- $1.85 ish all miles over 13 loads. I'll know for sure once today is completed.
    I had one load cancel that really screwed me and I sat for half a day trying to figure out what to do and ended up having to deadhead 200 miles to a load.
    Ill show the proof of this soon, want to complete today to get final numbers. Also moving foward I'll be showing my next few weeks to show this is average or somewhat close to it for me (when i work 7 days and dont go home). Stay tuned! Now gotta go do these 3 loads and close to 500 miles today bahhh

    They aren't doing anything to mess it up in this case.

    You book way out and then have to take a hit getting there, tough. That's on you for booking your post before your pre.

    Why would you expect SNI, the shipper, the receiver, your ICA, CS, and the rest of the world to shift their schedule and do extra work just for you?

    I have used the insert shipment a couple of times and it works good in the right situation. But I always book willing to suck up the dead head if need be. I have learned in choice and really the industry as a whole, if you want respect you just as well look in the mirror because the only one who is going to give it to you is the one looking back. And that's fine with me. Just my two cents

With Tenn man on this one. There's a waiting list to sign on, can't park at some of the o c 's for all the return trucks. Just relax and leave jar head to his rubber room. I will say congrats on your numbers though
