O/O what are you charging per mile? Im getting crazy ranges and need some explaining?

I do what you do Mad Dog....i.e.private carrier outbound and motor carrier inbound. Sounds like you are about to add ALOT of work to your daily routine. Not sure how many loads per week you are talking about but you need to find a backhaul for each one and you need to invoice them and collect the money. Might even have to buy two trucks because the back hauls take up as much time as the head hauls.

Whenever I have outsourced excess freight I always do like you say and ask the guy what he needs and I will choose one of the lower ones and call them back and give them their rate.

I think you should go for it because you need to know what it's like to be on the phone with a broker begging him for a inbound load when your customer HAS to have his load by a certain day and you cannot afford to wait for a good back haul any longer.

How much is your free time worth and will your core business suffer as a result?

 

bump just wondering how it is working out 3 years later?

 

Was wondering why a 3 year old post came out of nowhere, now I know.

 

idk i was searching something about brokerage and rate and this was one of the things that came up and it turned out to be a good read lol but completely irrelevant of what i was looking for

 

Let's ask him. @Mad dog logistics llc

Seems like he dumped $3600 into an Accert last June and looking for another truck as a result.

And was inquiring about how to find loads with a new authority. Wonder what happened to the old one.

It seems brokers aren't paying well. Karma is a mother.
