    I think you have never been surrounded by a gang and have no clue what you guys are talking about. I have said it took me a week to find and load for $600 for approx 500 miles. And that was in the anticipation of fair dealing (which never happened). No CSA rating is 100% and prepass pulls in at 5%. And yeh, the industry knows if there is no freight in OH then there is no freight anywhere meaning the market is crashing. Like I said if you have never been surrounded by a terrorist gang you will keep on blaming the victims of terrorism until it is your turn. I could be SC and still the same answer is answered as the load is posted its covered. So the BS about negotiating is out of question you guys talking about I got a call back from the broker. I would not deal with broker who is brand new or has a bad rating. And after Allen Lund beating me out of $3000. There is no guarantee where does the trash lays. I wish really BAD to the owners and the company and will keep on doing so till I get my money for the best devices we provided without a glitch. I know that SC and FL markets are hot but if the trash behind the seen is going to answer my phone then the answer is load is booked already even if the load has just been posted.

    I found with my research before I started that leasing my truck onto a good company was my best way to get rolling. As I get more comfortable I can build cash, experience, CSA and DOT history with my eye on a move to being completely on my own.

    This market IS crashing. Going into another depression. National load to truck averages are spiking downwards, soon we'll be under 2/1 ratio. I will not be buying a truck this year for sure.

    Gotcha. I still don't get these dollar haulers. Even out of NJ, MA, NYC, etc I've always been able to command at least $1.50/mi which is the lowest I'll go. And a lot of times I can still get $2/mi out with the right broker and knowing the particular loads, etc.

    Well, I call BS on not getting rates out of the Columbus market. I just delivered a 30K van load that picked up in Dayton, OH and delivered in Brooklyn, NY that paid $3/mile to the truck.

    His CSA scores suck that's why he cant get a good paying load and thats why he is paying $20,000 a year for insurance

    You do know the CSA is a percentile, right? If you're at 100%, then that means 100% of the companies in your grouping are better than you.
