Saying "No"

Because you are no longer a compagnydriver.
You operate a bussiness.
Time to change your attitude.

Could you make money on that Chicago run?
If so .................just do it,it is better then what you got now.


AND Chicago..............strike 1
First Laredo short run..................Strike 2
Second Laredo run.................strike 3
That's how your dispatch sees it.

 

Those rates are terrible. I'm a company driver now and I made $1/mile gross last year, almost exactly. W2 said $71K, and Peoplenet said I drove 71,500 miles (rounded to nearest hundred of course). Private fleets, people. At those rates being responsible for the equipment too is just not worth considering.

 

Walk away from them. They don't care about your business. You're competition .

 

He's not their competition, he's their meal ticket.

 

Exactly, never understood why guys won't go to Chicago. As soon as I hear a driver say that, interview is over. Just too much opportunity to avoid Chitown.

 

Not getting shot is a good reason.
