    I use a Google voice number to call places that I don't want to call me back. they can call it but it is not set to forward to my phone. That's one way to handle them... sure, here's my number call me anytime!

    The only reason I need to know my cost to operate is so I can see areas that need improvement to increase my profits. Now, I don't haul for a mileage rate plus FSC so for me it's not as critical. I can tell you my fixed cost per mile but my variable cost per mile varies so that one is only a guesstimate. There's more than 1 way to keep the books and just because someone does it different than you doesn't mean they are doing it right or wrong. I bet I even figure my running rate per mile different than you do. Doesn't make either way right or wrong, just two different calculations. The"traditional" way works but for me, my way is more accurate for MY business.

    Well I'll give it to Mercer. They are taking care of the broker calling #### I give them a huge thumbs up for that.

    I really don’t know anything about them. I’ve seen them advertising on social media and figured that’s who you were going to.

    That's the same shipper as Tallmadge. I can only speak from my experience that smoke tarp doesn't work with them, they want the first several feet of the load covered.
