    For a VERY short time O/O, and one that just started pulling flatbed as one, he does for sure bud.
    "My first step to improve your operation......". Coming from someone leased onto a mega carrier, that cannot negotiate rates etc. Amazing in my book, but I'll leave it alone before the "report" button gets wore out again.

    Too true. The internet, Kevin Rutherford, and XM radio teaches all there is to know....apparently!

    Who says I can't negotiate rates? Just because I'm leased on doesn't mean I never negotiate. And who cares if i do or not. TMC isn't a mega carrier. If im making 2+per mile I'm running a successful business. Who are you to tell me I cant recommend a solution for others.

    I only wore out the report button when you quoted me saying something i didn't say. For the record, you had nothing to contribute to the OP's problem and just posted here to follow me around. Stop posting in threads i am just to piss me off. If you want to contribute, then give the OP advice, but dont just post to make fun of me.

    Because I learn quick and make a bucket load on money. Who cares if i have 30 years experience? My net profit is as high as many of those guys. I may not run my business the same way they do, but im nearly as successful.

    though that may be true, having your own authority means you are getting 100% not 65, 75, or 90%

    so though you are making money, you could be making more if you had your own authority and trailer
