Bad paying freight

No! They don't cause they are idiots ,Foreigners or big trucking companies that make more money trhu the raining mill than they do hauling freight....

 

Training mills!

 

Don't forget theres lots of new carriers who believe the BS these brokers say
and I quote "you can match it up with something" That something don't exist I have looked for it before till I got smarter.

 

The Freight flavor of the day is: Cheap and cheaper.

 

There are a lot of carriers that pay their lease trucks .85 to .95 a mile loaded or empty and will haul anything to get out of a bad area instead of taking money out of their pocket to reposition trucks. Problem is brokers know this to, all they need to do is pick up a mag at a TS.

 

i would say probably not.:smt084

 

If you grow your business beyond a single truck you will see it is about more than a single trip. A company will focus on what is the truck making in a week or a month. And independent will focus on each trip. I would be willing to bet the big companies are still grossing better than $2/mile

 

A stupid one will focus on each trip...I am always looking at the average for the month and have been at it long enough to just sort'a know what I need to do to keep the average right.

I won't haul "cheap freight" but if I go in for $3.00 or better a mile, I'm not gonna be as picky about the rate out as I would if I only made $2.00 a mile going in.

If I can keep my average at $2.00 for all miles run each month (Loaded and Empty) then I feel as though I've averaged it out fairly well.
