The Perfect Lease Purchase Contract!

Where did I ever give you, or anyone for that matter, the impression that I don't know, that a driver in business for him/herself has to "work" for their loads? Maybe you should reread my post, that is exactly the point I am driving across to everyone. TO BE IN CONTROL OF WHERE YOU GET YOUR LOADS. Please tell me "when" you would start building relationships with your dispatcher, in a "direct company dispatch lease"? Also, explain to me and everyone else, how do you negotiate with this same dispatcher, in regards to freight? I have already mentioned that a L/P driver can except what load he/she takes but, how many choices do they have, and how many times can they turn down freight, really? Sure, no force dispatch,,,got it. I would much rather be in 100% control of where, when, how I get my freight.

Again,,,if you are leased to a company, where you have to rely on a dispatcher for your freight, and can not get the freight anywhere else, and your happy with said company....FANTASTIC! I also mentioned that in my post. Integrity with the company you are leased to, as a L/P driver can make the lease a better deal, in a direct company dispatch lease.

 

I agree that we should all work to be problem solvers, not problems. Sounds like a great week for you BigBad7, sorry I couldn't come aboard and buy your truck.

Are you saying that in a "direct company dispatch lease" if your on % you can negotiate with the dispatcher on cost to move the load? I have never heard of that and most lease's pay in Mileage and there would be no negotiation there. I want to be clear hear,,,I am referring to L/P not those that have their own truck and are leased on to a company.

Heck, maybe I will learn something I did not know, or realize today....I'm game

 

I did not know that about L/P or O/O being the same in dispatcher screen. As far as negotiating with dispatch in regards to time, particular load, trailer and what not, know about that but, just never heard you could negotiate rate, at all. Good to know. Me being me, I would probably try without knowing, I am a firm believer in "you don't know, what you don't know,,until you find out" kind of guy.

Amen on being the one they take care of, not the one they dread.... I know that's right.

 

Since ATA is the predecessor of ATRI, I won't believe anything they say....
