dry van loads?

 

You need to talk to BBB on here ( Bad Bill ) he may be able to point you in the right direction

 

I've seen dry loads going for over 2.15-2.45 what brokers are you messing with ?

 

#1 STOP HAULING CHEAP FREIGHT. Really why would you even touch freight for less than you was making leased to a company. #2 STOP HAULING FOR THE BROKERS HE HAVE BEEN HAULING FOR. Why the have him marked as a cheap carrier and will never offer him high paying loads. Dont take the first thing offered unless its paying execellent I mean if its short haul $4+ a mile or $2+ long haul. No disrespect but brokers lets say they get an account that has three loads a day from and to the same place that pays an average of $3.50 a mile well they will pay their regular carriers close to the $3 mark because the other two loads will be picked up by some dumb butt that will haul it for free(meaning anything under $2) Stop calling/using the brokers you been using because they have you marked as a cheap carrier. Find new brokers to haul for and dont take anything for under $2 a mile even if its just two pallets. If you gonna take a loss do it hauling a empty trailer. Cheapest load I have hauled lately was $2.44 a mile and as high as $1500 for a 301 mile and get this a $1600 from TQL for a 4 drop load all in NC picked up in southern VA tuesday done wenesday morning and went home put less than a 1000 miles in and went home with $3100. So I thank all the drivers thats hauling cheap freight that way the brokers can pay me more with out taking a loss

 

CHRobinson and TQL are good in my book I have hauled loads for CHR from up in you area paying close to $2.50 a mile that was a year ago dont go that far from home now and only been doing two loads a week and one of them will be with CHR or TQL. I use to run clean out to MS for $2.80-$3.10 a mile and if I couldnt find something for at lease $1.85 back home I would dead head the 6-700 miles back but now when a broker calls me they know I wont take anything under $2. Most of the large brokers can put your MC# in their system and see every load you hhave hauled for them and at what rate. They know where you live and know you will haul cheap to get home. I have done a few load for Coyote and they pay me good. UTI called me one time I told them to loose my number offer me a load paying $1.39. Dont be afraid to push brokers and look at some of the big boys Landstar, CR England, US Express and so on. All of the have the ability to pay good just stand you ground and dont be afraid to say no.
