Eagle Logistics Services. Indianapolis, IN

Swift and $1.17 !?!?!?

 

im seriously confused.

Fr8, you've posted where you have found some decent loads posted and forwarded them to your dm. Who then sends you something crappy.

Why didnt you call on those loads yourself?

 

FW... you can stop your juvenile bs at anytime.

 

Who says I didn't call those? Ok here's the thing with tql they don't ask your mc number before giving the rate....so I know it's the probable rate given to everybody(maybe) and they won't negotiate even a feel good 50 bump....I haven't given up to get out of here...if I stop sending my leads then ops mgr send even more ridiculous rates then I find! Yes to get up here between my ops finding a 2.00 load and me finding the 2000(before Eagles 25%) those two were good...not enough to make my week...it's been a rough week....what's your point?

 

U have a suggestion? Tell me

 

At least there I can make steady and decent money! And I'm not sure why there numbers work except they do...and im being conservative with my mpg and using a much higher fuel than I could probably find.....closer figure with 8mpg and fuel at 2.55-2.6 is 1000 to my pocket...and not break a sweat ...even more i kick up the mileage to 2800 -3000 range...easily done there also...light loads mostly ....also u get the same for empty miles...or near the same...I didnt even add for that...

 

U just have to look hard and sometimes I have to concede and take a stinky rate....but only if it's too get to a better market...right now,lol...CHR has a few loads into portland and Spokane and Seattle markets....might bite the bullet and take one ....it's only Tuesday and this week is a wash..maybe break even....gives me one extra day to work on next week...unless a miracle load to Pu and del today....so easy to break even on high paying loads at 1500 miles ....2000 plus 600 but sheesh ....sat a day in hobbs sat 1.5 in El Paso with repair and too late to pick up yesterday....

 

FR8, have you asked about getting a release from Eagle? Have you checked into Mercer or HVH??

 

Lol....I wanted to ask u why u recommend hvh? I haven't asked but I've hinted mightily that im ready to go! Mercer...ehhh im concerned of there van division...not ready to learn flat yet....hvh just seems like a regular mileage based lease program and mostly western states ...am I missing something with them? They called my daughter to inquire about a employment gap(mercer)

 

Fascinating!all of a sudden tql and chr have 3-5 loads at 2 a mile.to Seattle and Portland ..market lane rate,doesn't mean I will get it for that....let's see?
