<p>[QUOTE="indspirit, post: 4435280, member: 122857"]Just wondering from brokers how much you help out new carriers when you first started out. Had a load of feed from a regular customer but my regular carriers were not available to take load. So gave it to a new carrier who has done a few loads for me and has so far has been ontime and had great communication. </p><p><br /></p><p>The problem with the feed loads is they max you out. Average load is 7800 to 7900 lbs. So he picked up the load I called thinking he was on the way yet he was still there. Spent 45 minutes on the phone with carrier to show him how to move tandems to make load legal. I can do that now because I'm new but when I have 500 other trucks to work with were is the cutoff point. All my regular carriers have my cell number because tgey were guys I drove with. Gave this guy my cell to make sure load will be there. When do you set your point to sleep. My brokers when I was driving knew when to call me guess I will have to do the same thing here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
