Heavy haul $$

I'll tell you this also, I rarely look at those loads on a load board. But when I do the ones who post the rate are out of their mind. Rarely is there enough profit, if any, for those to be worthwhile. I've never called on them as I don't have the equipment to move it, to see if I could get the rate to where it should be. I also don't have time to just play games either.

 

Uh - unfortunately there were a few.

I would be willing to do those kind of shipments at this point.

As for the smart comments, do I knock on your door and ask how much you make even though it is really none anyone's business.

It gets tiring having people ask the same thing over and over.

 

Nope, the guys here that move this big stuff are some of the most kind, and generous with their knowledge you'll find.

If you would have added this to your original post, you'd have gotten completely different answers.

See the problem is, to many see those like you have, see that big rate, and jump in and find out the hard way that big rate shrank to nothing real fast. Every time this happens it damages rates for those that know what is really needed to move those loads. Once something moves for cheap, it's hell to get it back where it should be.

 

Like Oscar and Ron both stated. There are ones who come on here asking questions about rates. I know Ron and several other board members here personally. We don't get into bidding wars with each other. We may ask for advice on certain loads..
We just get tired of the ones who come on here asking for advice and we kinda try to help. Then they get rude and short with us.. I'm done with this discussion
Best of luck to you

 

I think the problem is you just asked how much money you can take home, and if the guys that are good at it simply answered that question, then you would jump into heavy haul, and probably not make it at best, and possibly hurt the other Heavy Haul in the process.

If you really want to know about the business, ask questions like what you need to learn, what you should expect, how to get started, and whether it is a good investment to try to jump into heavy haul cold.

The money comes not from having a big enough trailer, the money comes from knowing what you are doing, and being able to get it all done safely and legally.

Just asking about the money first shows you probably don't know the rest, which means the money question can't be answered with accuracy for you.

And getting pissy because some of the first answers are a bit sarcastic, just makes it less likely you will get better answers later, because who wants someone with no patience or sense of humor hauling oversized loads? Lol
