Eagle Logistics Services. Indianapolis, IN

Goes through the company and the company pays all tolls ... about $4K a year I don't cover.

 

C. H. Robinson has some good reefer freight coming out of Cali going to all points midwest, I just need to get my reefer, then I can run my midwest to west coast, 4 rounds and I am over 10,000 miles for the month. But C.H.R is always heavy

 

Seems the DM's use primarily CHRobinson and Coyote. A sprinkling of TQL and XPO. In a nutshell........crap. What board do you use primarily?

 

Once the veggies start coming and sucking up the capacity, everything out of CA is good.

 

Yes and that's who he pushes me to use there boards!! But see my post a few days ago I got the rate and load board from truckers edge and it opened my eyes...but u know what? I pushed 3 or 4 loads that weren't approved brokers snd he refused them and said it's a two week approval process from celadon to get them approved....and lots of the others that are approved don't post loads....so I'm trying to find numbers for them all so I can direct call when I know I will be empty....I don't know what to make of a lot of this new stuff! Also see my examples of trying to negotiate a rate with a broker...goes no where....what do u do to get your rates?

 

Haha believe me I do think about it a lot....I won't lie...the safety and comfort of mother swift,lol😄 I know her so well....and yeah that Comdata charge...wow plus 29 a week just to have an account open for the cq fuel and advances....yes many little things...least complaint is the tractor payment...

 

And the weigh stations...my god...I always got passed with swift...not here have to stop at everyone now...

 

Go get your own Comdata card ... it's $28 a MONTH ... $1 transactions fee at Pilot, Loves and TA with a $.06 discount ... no transaction fee at any other location Comdata is accepted and a minimum of $.01 discount and up to $.12 at some vendors.

Heck as a minimum tell Eagle to keep their card and just pay cash ... $29 a week ... that's $1500 a year ... yikes.

Add to that the $5200 a year in trailer rental, $1300 in tags, about $4000 in tolls, about $1500+ in insurance and $200 in QC. That's $.12-$.15 a mile I have to make up if I was running for these guys. Not included, is the potential/likely loss of detention pay - another $3000+ per year.

$3,819.86 final settlement



T2T baby. Same problem over here at RR, Agents (brokers) will not budge an inch on rates. I believe they got the load from some other broker who already sucked most of the fat off the rate before they sold it to RR or whichever next broker feels like haggling with owner ops.

Here's my crackpipe theory of the whole process--

Shipper has 100 loads 1000 miles each at $2 bucks a mile.

Broker A peels off say conservatively 5% off the 100 loads and rebrokers them out. That's a quick easy $10,000 to Broker A's office for doing almost zip zero nada.

Broker B comes along and says I gotta have my usual 10% and whatever I can steal off these lease ops at these various companies who I DO NOT have to show a master rate sheet to and they are victimized by my lies saying that is all the load revenue there is take it or leave it.

Then the carrier gets their 25% off the top of whatever is left after the Broker B (DM's) took.

They can keep bloodsucking me over here for a little while longer, I have just about enough to buy a trailer then it's time to get my own authority.

 

That about covers it.
