    Never had a problem with them, my girl Maddy calls me every day at 0730 just like clock work. That's one of the things I like about them is you talk to the same person every time and can build a relationship. She knows where I need my trucks to go and what rate I'm looking for and doesn't try to hand me bs stuff. Highly recommend.

    But its only 50 miles, don't you realize that's $4/mile. I love when they hit you with that. Never mind the fact that it can still take 6 hours to complete the load sometimes when all is said and done.

    I average $2.00 a mile most of the time but have made as much as $3.00 a mile but usually when I get a good rate like that its due to the fact I ran a load for a crappy rate like $1.50 a mile to get that $3.00 a mile load so all averages out. but guy i work with is always upfront and honest with me and I always know the score and hes never let me down yet
     
    mp4694330 Thanks this.

    Mclane foods san bernardino, ca. you have to show up at 3pm just to get a door for a 9pm app time then if your lucky enough to actully get a door by 930 it takes 4-6 hours to unload. If i picked it up next door and delivered same day id Still charge $800+

    I use to move fridges in a box truck in under an hour for 80 bucks. And you want me to drive 30 min in LA traffic wait 1to2 hours to get loaded drive another 30 miles for an hour in rush hour traffic now and waste another 1-3 hours to unload for 200 bucks. If its going down the block its not getting on the trl for less than 400 oh and the first hour free every hour after is 70 beginning on the second after the first

    Check their mileage, it's almost always off by 100 or so miles. Running for coyote you will sure go out of business quickly.

    Race to the bottom.
    Overcapacity in the trucking industry doesn't help, when the economy picks up and capacity tightens the middlemen will go out of business and companies with actual equipment will be in vogue.
