Good Flatbed or Stepdeck Rates

No, I agree with it, but I'm not sure the rate is accurate. I normally post what we're paying on a load on the broker board comments section.

 

Yet another reason why I think LS is calling my name! Convincing my wife to let me buy a truck is the hardest part LOL.

 

LOL! Well you can always find a BCO that's looking to take a break from the truck for a while and see how well you really like it driving for them?

 

Some post rates on the public board but not many. Some of those rates though must have alot taken of the top. Not saying you but some are god awful.

 

There are some real scheemers out there. My rule of thumb is 10%.

 

Well thats nice to hear and your right theirs some bad apples out their.

 

x2 I only take 10% if the moneys there. usually im 10% until $5000 gross, then its a flat 500 beyond that.

Ive been a truck driver, my career went like this

worked in shipping at a local company
drove for the same company
went to trucking school
went long hauling
had a kid
went to dispatch
load broker
opened brokerage company for a trucking company (did 2400 miles most weekends to sooth the itch)
helped start a new brokerage with a friend
brokerage now has company trucks I keep close to $3.00 per mile, drivers earn 20%
now thinking about going independant (my own truck, cant cure the itch)

 

Put some cream on it. So long as it's just an itch and not a drip, it might be curable.

 

I know a corpsman that can take care of that for you!

 

Campophinique and Tobasco Sauce is NOT the cure all for the drip! Don't believe 'em if they tell you that...
