Eagle Logistics Services. Indianapolis, IN

Do you use the landstar carrier app? They have 3 different ones in the google app store.

 

Yeah I downloaded it last night, see what happens when I drop my load off in Springfield IL, unless my D.M comes up with a good one to get me near Indy.

 

What's the real chance of getting 1.45mi to the truck? Don't see it working for less

 

Very much possible.

 

My first load load was from Tennessee to Jersey (flatbed). 810 miles including deadhead. Line haul 2150. My 75% $1,612.50.

 

But what did you get coming out of New Jersey?

 

yeah exactly...

 

I know an Eagle driver who goes into NYC all the time, pays good going in, lousy coming out.

 

I seen one Eagle driver up in Cold Springs MN today, that had one of the old Furniture Row trucks, on my way to Springfield IL, and then I have to go to Indy for work on the truck, then working on a load out of Indy going to Houston TX, a good area for van.

 

Yup, coming out of Jersey was crap as usual. Booked a load out of Camden, NJ headed to Frazeyburg, OH. 800 75% = 600. Spent $155.42 in fuel cleared only 444.58. But from there was able to grab a load from Upper Sandusky, OH and deliver in Elk River, MN before the pay period ended. 1,500 75% 1,125 and spent 394.04 in fuel cleared $730.96.

Each load after fuel:
TN to NJ. 1,129.78
NJ to OH. 444.58
OH to MN 730.96

Total. $2,305.32 (after fuel)

With the first 17 days with no truck payment and no trailer payment. Just other fixed costs came out to $1,836.74 add both payments would have been around $975.24

Yes, this would have been a terrible week. But it is the first week. Completely my fault though for starting off going to Jersey, just getting the ball rolling dealing with brokers also. But I'm learning. This next week isn't shaping out to be much better, had to sit the whole weekend because I couldn't contact anyone to get a rate con for a Saturday load. Resolved that today, my DM gave me her cell phone number so I can get a rate con while she's at home on the weekend.

Second week isn't worth posting, but I'm starting the third off with a load from Kansas City, MO to Rapid City, SD paying 2,600 75% 1,950 for roughly 800 miles. I'll let y'all know how my third week goes.
