Arogance is the best policy

Load was posted as standard load, even if it was not a standard he could still end it simply. I get tons of calls from all kind of low lifers who always offer me $500 -600 to go to Vermont or Maine, I know that the rate is supposed to be way more than that, but I d0n't curse them out.

 

I repositioned myself from Miami to Jacksonville, all phone calls were answered either booked or less than the cost to run. Or the load was covered as soon it was posted. So after trying for two days I went up to Savannah which is well known area for Northeast runs. The Tr####sh still answered all calls and all were either booked, or dollar a mile. So some one is saying that reposition again to where. NJ or NY where it is known to be bad rate because of the foreigners are easy to be fooled and they take the $250 load for landstar up that way. In reality one side docking costs that much.

 

What surprises me, is that how every one jumps on a poor guy and every sides the big shots. This is the same situation as in Noah's time. Any way like I said earlier that they went after the Jews and I did not do any thing because I was not a Jew. Then they went after the Christians and then Muslims and so on and I did not do any thing, because I was not Christian or Muslim, and then they went after me and I ran for help, but there was no one left to go help. There is huge lesson to be learnt in the above story. It is for your own good if you guys stick together, I mean the hard workers. I have been putting up with it last 10-12 years and will keep on doing so till I get old. Or our gov takes an interest in the industry and finds out that some people are not able to book a load no matter which area they are in. Here are some examples, Little Rock AR, Memphis TN, Columbia SC, Charlotte NC, Columbus OH, even during the Water melons season the same situation. So there is corruption in the market or some other issue which our gov should have interest in............ I always get offered the same kind of rate no matter who I call, and the loads are always high priority runs with $1.25/mile kind of rate. Even on Christmas eve, I was the only truck in Syracuse they still were offering the same rate.

 

OOIDA
Yes I did received it. But I have replied with the member code ##### that we are a member of OOIDA. The reason we involve OOIDA because of their claim that they are there if

Owner Operators need them. We have been in the Over the road business for over three years and as of yet have not found a single honest and fair broker. May be because it is of some kind
of behind the seen terrorist group is harassing us. The reason why I say this because 90% of the time the loads which inquire about (even when they are just posted one second ago) are answered covered.
And the ones which are answered are said to be paying about 50% below the market (by DAT info ) and way below the cost of operation. So if was the case with every regular white guy then, that means
no one is profiting in this most lucrative industry. Which is not possible, why would people take such a big task if there was not even enough money to pay for fuel and tolls and meals???? If you feel that
we should not bother you with our frustrations then we will not copy you on this kind of weird situations(where there are 5 loads to one truck and the answerer of the phone says they are all covered or he/she offers way below the market and below the cost of operations) and look for bringing our questions and concerns on a rather different platforms.

Best Regards

The above letter was sent to OOIDA and the person incharge said do not involve them?????????

 

Every one appears to be on the brokers side here, I thought this was a truckers forum?????
