Eagle Logistics Services. Indianapolis, IN

As of now how are you doing with them

 

Trucks are governed at 70
You do run your own route as long as it makes sense, and they do provide a route and fueling for you, but you do not have to follow it.
You get your own Prepass, and Tollpass.
The Quality yard in Indy has used Pete's, Kenworths, Internationals and Freightliner, for you running flatbed, used W9's and some Pete's but that changes daily.

Don't waste your time calling Quality, they are super busy working with drivers everyday.

Side note, flatbed guys are doing really well at Eagle, they very good customer base with good paying freight.

Be patient with the orientation process, get all the videos done, then you can work on getting your truck. Have fun.

 

Awesome thanks for the info

 

So he is a man of numbers...got it! So how about we all invest into Fogline software aka TrucknPro Biz Manager. Second make sure you take the 25% as an expense on each trip.

Third, I don't work for the company however, if you are truly committed to being an independent O/O stick it for a year and then approach the bank after a year of data and see if you can get a bank loan. However, I would strongly suggest having money in the business account with that bank. I am more fortunate then some as I have a retirement at my age to fall back to supplement my family income.

Folks, if you are having your weekly settlements deposited in your personal account...you are throwing red flags all over. IMO. This is a business and live within your means!

 

Good advice driver.

 

Well I spoke to a recruiter and Eagle is transitioning backing to Celadon as they are not surviving on there own.

So....

Yeah I wondered if they were going to do that, just by the way things were going when I was there.
