Cheap Freight... What would you do?

Should went for $1050.....

 

And thats the WAY IT WORKS...

We aren't SAMS DISCOUNT CLUB - we ARE IN BUSINESS. We don't negotiate ourselves DOWN.

Not NOW.


NOT EVER...

Last couple TQL loads I called about they start all that negoiating crap, I tell them it's a waste of my time and energy and hang up.
To much trouble for some pissy ### load. here's my 1223 mile 3500.00 load of the week. I added two short runs in too this week. Screw these cheap ##### this week.

 

LOL, any chance you wanna give me the name and number of that broker, now that I know he will budge, I can move my guys that way, otherweise ,its $1 to a $1.10 going anywhere out of MD

 

No clue who I was talking to, I do that with ALL brokers... If they budge on price, great, if they don't budge, I hang up and call the next broker. You just gotta put on your poker face, and stick to your guns... you gotta be willing to turn that load down if they don't put a dollar figure in your price range. Last week, I got a load for $800 above asking price, $600 above asking price, and $500 above asking price.....

I'm in a different position than a lot of drivers here though... I pull 100% off loadboards... I have no place in particular to be, and I let the brokers know this... I'll tell them flat out, I don't NEED to go to Michigan, if I don't book this load with you, I'll go to Texas, or Montana, its no sweat off my back if I don't get this particular load.

 

I drop in Hagerstown on Sunday night, 10pm appointment.

 

Huh? I get $4-5 / mile all day every day to go from MD to the northeast - ME, MA, CT - cuz it's almost impossible to find a rate coming out.

 

Yea, guys I work with wont go above NY, one wont even go to NY

 

That's just BS. I had guys like this. No more. If they don't go where I need them to go, they can go work for Swift.
