Oversize questions

I'm calling BS on that one!

 

Did he pay you for both miles or just the loaded one?? Sheeeeeeeit can’t hide big money like that just anywhere!

 

If he’d paid for both I could have afforded more than just 4 flags

 

Yeah but when the guy hands you a 6 pack on both ends, and youre home by noon its another matter to toss 4 chains and roll.

Im not saying ive never done cheap oversize, just that it needs to be worth the time and equipment

 

Just send it to Ukraine and then launder it back. I hear there's people really good at that.

 

Im at about 40-60% loadboard freight past few years and yes on dat, im going to stick to my guns on 3$/mi being very achievable especially in flatbed.

For me the key has been ignoring what they want for a load and calling with MY minimum for a load, calling on freight posted with no rate, i very rarely book any load at their asking (posted) rate

I ignore every "email only" or "book now" posting. Those are the ones that mostly only bottom feeders use, yes its easy, but when has making a profit been easy? I guarantee any time you see a posted rate, theyre making more on it and are willing to give up some of their posted rate to cover it while hoping someone comes and bites at that rate

Again, knowing decent lanes and calling on loads with unposted rates are very important. If you think with so many people dropping out of trucking cause they got in when it was easy to get a good rate that its hard, i simply dont know what to tell you

 

i like this guy, hes doing the same stuff

Just don't be one of these incompetent fools that run their amber warning lights all the time regardless of load size or state. If that doesn't scream I didn't read my permits, what else does.

 

When I pull an Oversize load. I always have my Yellow warning lights on. Even if the permit doesn't require them. Increasing my visibility (to someone not paying attention or texting while driving) doesn't make me incompetent or a fool.

It might scream "I didn't read my permit" to someone who knows about permits.
It does not scream that same message to the majority of people on the road Because they have no clue about what a permit is or what it entails.

Warning lights are just for that, a warning to the motoring public.
