Looking to talk to a solo lease op.

Ouch!

 

That is not correct. I was four hundred over the first and 800 over the second and it was never paid. I made the min and they kept the overage.

 

It doesn't happen that often. I've only had one check where that happened to me and that was in the first couple of weeks of starting the lease

 

That is still some ridiculous amounts of money they are making off you guys. If you guys are managing to get consistent checks and home time, then props to you.

 

That's were I am.

 

Who are you driving for?

 

I have not seen this happen, and I have been doing this for seven years with Prime. Something don't Jive...... One thing if you are running below the min guarantee for the week you need to stop and go company side, or get out, your not going to make it. Here's the deal stop accepting loads that don't pay. If you run into the east coast, you need to be up near that two dollar mark per mile, because the loads coming out are going to kill ya...... Next time you see a load say to Vail Colorado for a buck a mile, flat out refuse it. The reason I say this, is it happened a few weeks ago, and I told them nicely to go to hell..... Like what kind of load am I going to get near there that would make up for it.... You get a load to California for say a buck ten or twenty, you need that 2 dollar load of oranges to make up for it...

 

How do you do that when you are new?

 

A small mom and pop company now.

 

You prod and poke, moan and groan.
