First full week with Malone

Load bonus? Not sure what you are talking about.

 

Ok I was not familiar with the bonuses. Never heard of a bonus for doing ones job the way they are supposed to.

 

For all who didn't know, I left Malone at the beginning of the month for a carrier who actually respects the contractors.

 

I got tired of the heavy cheap freight and lack of availability. That combined with paying them nearly 30% of the gross each week seemed like an incredible waste of time and money.
Being told I need to ask for permission to book a load was ridiculous. Add to that the incredibly High CSA score for the company I can't even use a prepass.
I decided it was time to end the dysfunctional relationship and move on. The first week at my new carrier I grossed the same as I did the entire month of July with Malone. Ending that relationship with CRST is something I should have done a long time ago.

 

It's all good I just had to be reminded of why I left them in 2006. They make their money off nickel-and-diming contractors and the fools who become lease purchase operators.
They would much rather have the lease purchase guys then true owner operators. It's all good though I ain't mad. I have seen the light and it is freight availability and fair rates without all the charge backs. It also helps that I only pay 15% of the gross.
