They take it sparingly.

took a risk on this one and lost.
Couldn’t find anything to put on trailer

 

Overlooked but very important tool.

Paid for itself today.
Wasn’t given anything at pick up for trailer.
Was able to print out and have delivery sign a page of the ratecon.
Was accepted as pod and got paid.

Fuel mileage has been doing well.
Been working those fuel discounts hard. Most expensive was todays fill up in California.

 

Sat in Lodi for the weekend.

Got a 53’ dry van load out Monday.

Booked a load with a broker Cloud wasn’t set up with on Monday. Last time I tried that it took 8 hours for them to do the carrier packet.
They were very quick with the carrier packet this time but slow with the ratecon.
The delay put me a day behind on this one.

Picked up empty in Tracy

1st stop Freemont
2nd stop Garden Grove
3rd stop Fontana
4th stop Phoenix
5th stop Garner NC
6th stop Wallace NC

 

So happy to be out of California.
55 through the deserts, vineyards and orchards sucks.
Wanted to get out that way hoping a trailer would be available for me when I got there.
Trailers pop up any time anywhere.
New trailer waiting for me, but in Indiana this time.
I’ll bobtail from North Carolina to get it if I have to. Not interested in going back to cali again.
Waiting for Phoenix pack rat to open.
Spent yesterday running around the La metro picking up two containers.
Benefit to the aggravating California speed limit is at least you get your moneys worth out of their expensive diesel.
Found my cheapest price for today near La cruces NM.
3.649 one cent off retail price.
When picking fuel locations don’t focus much on the discount. Pump price is what matters.
Pilot up the road from this stop has a 12 cent discount but pump price is 4.079.
So I’m not saving just one cent by carefully planning my stops I’m saving .43

 

So what is lease on fee?
I thought it said they pay insurance

 

They take 15%
10% for being leased to their authority
5% for liability and cargo (capped at 600mo) for non trucking liability and workers comp, need to get that yourself.
30 month for the eld
2,500 escrow
Plate costs taken at some point as well haven’t seen any deductions for them yet.

 

i love the honesty posting the good the bad is the best way thank you
