YA I got suckered into one of them from fort hood got there at 10am and the line was 8miles long I wanted to make sure I signed in so I walked all the way up there didn't pull out the gate until 10pm and never got a dime for waiting because they dont charge it on a move took 8 hours to unload and two days to find a load out of IN for $2,800 I wasted one full week on one load never again!!
I can not believe what flatbed loads are being offerd for!!!

saw that when we deployed. Felt sorry for those contract drivers.
-
What y'all need to do is learn how to negotiate loads, there is a high price and a low price a broker has to work with,, I went to broker school in Dallas a few years ago and learned secrets of the trade that will help out a lot on working out rates with a broker
-
So you did the first thing everyone tells you not to do good job buddy!!
From the first price they give you most don't go more than $200 or so over that I tell them on every load what I can do it for and they never say sure we can do that the only time I can get a broker to pay is when they call me and need a few more trucks for that move I use to sale cars for a living and sale my self on every load but when cross border trucking just booked a load at $1.00 a mile they think everyone should haul it for that
When a broker post a load and phone starts going nuts price goes down it's like a game I'm not going to lie I have done the same thing before now after a day or so that price will start going up because the shipper starts calling asking when that truck will be there I have seen Landstar jump the price of a load $100 at a time every 10min for over a hour before do you think they where calling asking for more money he'll no they already have that in it the load I'm talking about jumped almost $2,200 until it was covered every time it went up a new load alert was sent to me
I get told all the time they don't have that in the load and 70% of the time it's total BS I started out in the hot shot business and did many loads for $5.00 a mile and still do a few for GE and baker at over $4.00 a mile and no I'm not talking on a 50-100 mile run I'm talking 500 pluse miles so all them loads out of Houston,tx that are oil field there getting $4+ a mile and only paying $1.50 a mile because guys are blowing up the phone to take themVisionLogistics Thanks this. -
