Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

Action? Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last load they underbid me on- I was 2x their rate and when I saw it on the board (I quit looking after it was there for a week) they were looking to keep 40% of that! Whatever.
I'm still waiting to see one of "their trucks".

 

Well I would be twice their $5k number, especially since they did not want the load to go through MO because of the permitting turn around time on a superload. So 1100 miles with escorts in IL and NE you bet I am twice their ridiculous quote.

It just is wearing me out a little, wading through all the bs and getting past the dudes that will move loads to just stay busy.

 

Good luck, Ron & I hope things turn around for you.

We have not had much action for our six axle rig lately, so the flip has been sitting out back collecting dust. We are still working on purchasing a replacement and getting started with a seven axle anyway. We have to be prepared when things turn around. I am working hard to make more contacts for larger loads. I suppose we are "lucky" to be able to switch trailers and keep the trucks and drivers busy with other work. It will be a different story once we go to a 7/8 axle rig.

 

I know you will be successful when you do get going on the heavier equipment. Based
Where you are and running mostly east 7/8 axle should work well.

I am around most of time if you need anything.

 

I am hoping we can stay mostly in our lanes and not have to chase larger loads out of our lanes. Sticking with what we know and making baby steps into new areas has always served us well.

I appreciate the offer...I am sure I will be taking you up on it.

 

Looks like you have that front axle chained up, do you have a shut off valve for the air bags or just dump it, chain it and air back up?

 

poor mans lift. shut off valves and chain.

 

In a word... not likely.

 

I know but dang it they should, it is only like 40 miles in....

 

I think they fed this one too much. grossing 205k and 150 feet long. The beam was 100 feet long and 130k.
