Getting Truck / Authority Beware - The Ship Has Sailed

Different lanes , different trailers not everyone is going to find those magical loads . I loaded the same load a fellow o/o loaded and he ran it for $200 cheaper , he asked why I thought his was cheaper I said cause you chose to run it cheaper . Somedays you hit a home run some days your just trying to get on base . Good luck everyone!

 

Big difference between me and the other guy is I won't run a roundtrip load (no matter what lane) for a $1.70 a mile.

 

2.30 a round for coming back empty. Although our load going up to bean town only weighs 6,000.

1500 on 325 miles but Idk how long it will last. NFI is starting to pull a lot out of there. Will have to go back in the oilfield to do 10k a wk. 7 loads a wk me and my dad split it pretty even.

 

Did your ship set sail yet or was you just talking about not setting sail?

 

You can't please operators today. You could tell them that they would get free meals, $10,000 a week, and only have to drive in a circle and they would still complain about something!

 

I’m glad I wasn’t paying attention much in 2016. Didn’t even know Freight was slow, Lol. I’ve seen a steady increase in revenue since about 2010-2011.Some ups and downs.Aside from the spike in 2017 obviously due to ELD mandate. Still, Market seems about Normal right now. It’ll pick up in mid March.When produce winds up.
