    I keep thinking it might be my dm...u til I started working on the brokers too.....all I know is they offered flat out awful rates...and not willing to negotiate them up at all....and maybe they aren't that bad...but when u factor in Eagles cut plus 40-100 miles of dh it goes like this 1.60 to pull your freight mr broker? Ok ok.....well I see lately that lanes been getting above two dollars a mile....can u go up some? Now I can definately make money on 1.60 a mile....but factor in dh and Eagles cut were talking. 1000 miles x 1.60= 1,600 now do this...1100 miles with dead head -.25 it's now 1.09 how's it look now bubb? now I have gotten good rates on some loads but not with any consistency....I been all over the eastern us.....Midwest southeast and northeast no place seems to be good?..is it just me? I keep asking to help me find an area I can work and make some money....every place I land I get crap rates whether I negotiate or dm does...I'm not sure what's going on?...but I can tell u this...I ain't hiding...u want to see or know something...I'll show u...serious...coz I ain't playing now...I'm pissed.....wrote quality a letter about getting my free work done before my 30 days is up and asked for a list of the other companies I can take the truck too....😳

    Plus make sure you argue your point on these appointment times, that there's NO WAY you could be late if you were there before they opened on the morning of the scheduled delivery. I have friends that this happened to and they made their DM change the delivery time to the time they opened so it won't show a late delivery or load. Keep on their ##### about it. It's your money, fight for it.

    I'm not so worried about that coz they are still on the Qualcomm.plus texts and email....just no type of procedures here....and I think just a mistake...over looked...it's the deductions there charging and the rates im getting to pay for this ......so really any successful eagle drivers tell us how u are doing it AND IF THE ONLY WAY IS SHORT FREIGHT IN THE NORTHEAST...then say so....

    I have noticed more posts to this forum happen more in the evening. But even with the his, bad and ugly purple have posted, I'm gonna give it a shot. My broker buddies are trying to get setup with Eagle right now. And I think all of us drivers should be looking out for each other so if they get setup, I'll give you numbers for them.
