problem booking loads

Get an inspection, or make phone calls to shippers in that area and get your own backhaul.

 

call a couple of local companies to that area, they might have a brokerage side for some of their extra stuff, or talk to your customers to see if they need anything coming back from that area and do it through them

I don’t do scales or eld so I probably wouldn’t be able to get anything off a board either at this point in time

 

I have no inspections and have the same problem with a few brokers. I finally broke down and pulled in to two scales in the last week, when I had some free time, to try to get an inspection. TN and SC. They will NOT do voluntary inspections. Sign on door said "Inspections are only done randomly. NOT by request." Nice lady DOT officer said people drop in constantly so they had to put up signs.

Brokers have got to figure out another way. I have had some success sending them my mechanic's annual DOT inspection.

 

Have had my authority for 5 years now and have never been inspected, now that I have pre pass I get green lit at all but one scale out of the 8 I have passed since getting it

 

Do you have direct customers or run brokered freight? It's hard to imagine you haven't heard about this if you don't deal with brokers. I started getting refused the day after I passed 2 years with no inspections. Overall though in 8 years I've only had one level 1 and probably only 2 or 3 other inspections.

I haven't had one at all since I started running a Prepass either.

 

drive by a open scale, it works, I know for a fact.

 

if i wasnt on the phone I coulda got a picture lol
