Eagle Logistics Services. Indianapolis, IN

Just got my truck today and my first truck payment and maintenance payment will not be till August 21st. I will have the insurance come out starting with the first settlement. I hope this helps.

 

Yup and a lot of other things .....it's just the general inexperience of the whole thing here....

 

Seriously bam he's giving u good and straight advice...I'm an old swiftie lease op too.....and we aren't trying to discourage u...but if u have a family especially...this really isn't for u yet....

 

they told me i'll make 5 to 6,000 gross and pay is weakly

 

Good luck with that,maybe u can if u have EXPERIENCE AND ALLREADY A BROKER WILLING TO PAY U 2.50 and up every mile but not generally u won't even come close

 

Thanks popcorn. That help..how long you driver for them before going ic. Or you jus came on from somewhere?

 

Look unless customer freight most spot freight is 2 and under unless short and guess what? They give u 250 300 mile run at 3 a mile and that's rare too....but u hang on to it all day and guess what else folks? Now to get out and get more 3 freight u have to take 1.20-1.50 and that ties another day....that broker doesn't know how reliable u are he isn't going to trust u to run it straight thru and maybe the receiver can't take u until tommorrow...ts not drop and hook...it loading at both ends....it's not so easy....

 

And remember deduct 25% from what just said and u start your week 1300+in the hole

 

Touche'. That drop and hook is a great thing working for Swift. The sitting and waiting to loaded and unloaded is an aspect I have only experienced for 1 1/2 months while working for Schilli Transportation but I also had to deal with broker loads there so I'm hoping I can make it. Good or bad I will give this one full year.

 

Tell me what your seeing rate wise on your board....I bet becoz of schneiders customer freight and negotiating power with brokers to buy a large volume of them for an area it's not nearly as bad as the rates eagle gets....
