    I like reefer. Reefer has made me a lot of money.

    Charge customer year round rates and make killing during produce when carriers want Florida and Texas. Win for me and carriers.

    Love reefer we all gotta eat

    It just kills you that most of us don't need you guys to make it. I'm running 7 trucks and we will go months in between broker loads.

    Kills me? You can run hundreds. I promise I don't need anyone. I was curious about a market.


    That's awesome on the trucks. Good luck I hope you keep growing

    I don't pay it. The owners do. The 800 pays itself when we can give customers data. Especially when we meet customers and we show them trends in markets.

    That's what it costs for a carrier to access it. I had a subscription for ten years. Maybe it was 35. I don't remember the exact number, but the basic level was stupid cheap.

    When we started we had 1800 loads to move. Year long project.

    What he meant was that only 15% of the loads coming out of Wyoming end up in the hands of a broker.

    Heck, I could run a belly dump for $110 an hour and very few miles but this came up and I jumped on it to have my own truck.

    And with that you don't have access to broker or shipper name. Each time you click gotta pay dollar or so to generate lead. We just had Dat members in our corporate office in Atlanta.

    800 we have access as a trucker and broker. So we can see what other brokers pay on loads and access it as a trucker.

    Not sure why Dat allows it but it's all about the money I suppose.

    Maybe it's changed some. There was no lead charge. Was a phone number and broker name.

    What's the premium service cost a truck now? 100 or so? Still stupid cheap.
