Internet Truckstop

d&s is good , they take 5% but it's non recource very simple contract only use them when you want they give you free tripak envelopes (no fee to send paperwork ) but call on every load for approval whether it shows on the website it's ok or not and i always pump the brokers for more $ anyway to cover the 5% . some brokers have their own Quickpay for a lesser fee so go that route when you can.

i t never amazes me anymore that people will take freight that cheap i'll run mty first . they were peddling loads last week from bethlehem pa to long island for $300 bucks that load takes atleast 10 hours to do and the tolls are $110.75 there and back. we haul out of the same place to the island for $650 - 850 depending how far out the loads go as there is no return freight (flatbed) from there and they are moving them and they have to be tarped to (plywood) in 1985 we used to get 300 to go to queens out of somerville nj which is 60 miles closer round trip toll was about $24 bucks and fuel was $.85 a gallon

 

If its refer freight, thats not very good. Anything else, that is good. I usually get 1.25-1.50 for flatbed rates (overall I think that is low). I did take a load out of phoenix paying 1.11 (that was a lot for what was posted), but I had to it was 116 degrees and idleaire was not doing a very good job keeping me cool. However, it did get me to a load that paid $1.60 mile loading in the same town going back to my house (usually have to DH a couple of hundred miles).

 

its not there anymore

 

I can get hopper loads out of NY pretty easily. I don't know how much extra it costs to fuel a reefer, but in my operation that would be putting 82 cpm in my pocket, or $127,920 per year earnings. So you see where I'm coming from.

 

trade that hopper in for a reefer Pharm!

 

I use ITS and lately it takes a while to find a decent paying reefer load. I average about 20 phone calls on loads before I find one to haul. I have been averaging about $1.30/mi. One of the keys is to monitor freight volume and ratio of inbound to outbound trucks in and out of areas. You must get a good rate to go into an area that has more inbound than outbound loads. You can run at a lower rate when delivering in an area that has more outbound than inbound loads, because you should be able to get a higher rate loading out of that area. ITS has a feature that monitors freight volume and inbound to outbound ratios.

Just my luck.. I can't even find parking in a internet truckstop....

 

You pull a skateboard right? They say skateboarders can't back up... So put that thing in reverse... Someone will move eventually!
