Admiral Merchants, Ace Doran or Bennet

They haul flatbed freight, all over, but they do have quite a few mills as clients.

My buddy and I live in Chicagoland, and I can tell you, at least in the Midwest, (MN, Wi, IL, IA, MI, IN, KY, MO , OH) we have zero problems getting freight and making money (a far cry from his situation at Mercer where he could not get decent loads 250 around Chicagoland!!!!!!) ....I could not believe it when he told me several times (thought he was exaggerating or being too picky)....

 

Their Loadboard shows a fraction of the freight available (leftovers, frankly, they’ll be the first to tell you.....the agents have the best freight.

 

Ace hauls anything that can go on a flat, conestoga, step, RGN ....etc ......a lot of oversized and specialized stuff......we also have access to Bennett’s agents........in any case, just know that, while it’s not 2018 freightwise, the situation at Mercer seems to be artificially bad.....

 

Paid daily(when you deliver), deadhead (again, around the Midwest where I run) is seldom over 100 miles, and you run wherever, whenever and for whatever you deem appropriate....

You work with whatever agents float your boat and as far or near to home as you want....

There is workman’s comp, health insurance I get through my wife so, can’t help you there....

 

Fuel discount is between .35 and .80 cents per gallon (I know!!!!).....and they do have national tire accounts....(have not needed them yet).....BOL’s are scanned by phone app,

Don’t get me wrong their not perfect, but I’m happy.
