20-30 thousand per mo in freight!!!!

They wern't any better back in the 70's, maybe worse. I know a few that had five or more different names, while still working out of the same building with the same employees.

 

$2K/wk is just a little short......Can you guarantee $3.5K/wk?

 

Of all the unmitgated gall...If he pays you the extra $1500 a week, How the hell do you expect him to make his Mercedes payment?


You greedy trucker you!

 

I don't need the insurance....BOC-3.....I have my own authority...

I'd be happy to run good loads and give up 12% to the broker.....

I can guarantee I'll keep the left door shut....


I understand brokering is more than just "phone calls"....but there more than few brokers out there that have no problem taking 25-40% off the top.......

Not only that....Diesel is averaging $3.20/g.......Those $1/m loads tarped and have several picks and drops are just bull sheyat.....

Not only that.....If you are Cali based carrier....You have to run at a disadvantage to the rest of the country....There is a little entity there called CARB.....In a year or so..Every Cali based carrier will have to comply....that kind of puts a damper on be able to run those cheap loads.....

 

Every company was new at some time. I'm assuming this is a startup, and are planning on factoring their bills to get money to pay the O/Os and to operate on. This is Ok until a few people don't pay, and then back charge to the carrier.

It would probably be better to start out with local O/Os, and have only maybe 5-8 trucks at first in order to make sure the business plan works out as planned.

 

Hell yes....That rig doesn't get payments from thin air....
Diesel isn't free......Tolls aren't free.....And for you less than pristine.....Lot lizards aren't givin' "it' away either.....
