It was a drilling platform.
I can't speak for other agents, but I don't negotiate rate until I have a truck. The shipper gives me what they want to spend and I post it. If it...
If I bid $25,500 to go 290 miles I would not be taken seriously. That is way more than the market demands and shippers know it. Of the numerous...
I never intended to sell it for $8K. That was just the base. All extras were extra. It would be impossible to price it accurately and...
It had to cross the GW, and pass through NYC.
It went for $16,500.
I'll check them out and see if they're approved to drive for us. Thanks for the tip.

No worries, Dogcatcher, I don't think you're a bad guy. I'm still learning this business, and misunderstood what was expected. I'm on this forum...
I could make more money doing a lot of things. Like any new business, you have to go into the red before you get into the black. I'm still in the...
What are Landstar's Mickey Mouse rules? All I have to go by is what is legal and what is not. If the load is illegal for the type of truck the...
I use Heavy Haul as a base, but I always ask the drivers I know what would be a fair rate. I take that to the shipper, and negotiate the rate....
Asking the agent to pay out of pocket for mistakes made by others is absurd. I operate in good faith that my customer knows what he's talking...
I'm in FWP, Pensacola, FL
Thanks, LS Agent. I appreciate the offer. I put a lot of stock in honoring my word; I think we simply misunderstood what the other was expecting....
