How many of you idiots are running reefer for less than $2 a mile?

I guess I look at it different than most. I thought with a paid for truck or cheap payments. You’d work harder at getting ahead in life. It’s crazy that guys will say no to cheap freight if they owe on a truck. However Let it get paid off and all of a sudden it’s “I can get by at a $1.5 per mile. I want to negotiate harder if it’s going into my bank account.

 

not canceled, moved to a another location. Like that made it better. Idiots on that one.

 

I meant the original venue. 7th avenue. 150 online petition meant more than 1500 ticket holders.

 

Not trying to offend you just help explain your thoughts
IDK if you have ever had to stear 5 or 7 years worth of hard payments.. So you do what ever you need to do to stay above water... that means less time at the house .. loads that make you earn every cent because due to numerous different reasons..
NOW MIND YOU ... this was done by your own choice .. nobody held a gun to your head making you sign the note on the truck & or trailer..
But you bust your nadds to get it paid off...
It's paid off your operating cost per mile is now lower.. and your tired.. and for the last X how every many years you pulled your Faire share of Sh...ty loads to pay for your equipment
I feel I've earned the right to pick & choose the loads Iam pulling at that point...
This is just my view point .. it's not a written rule in the O/O's hand book to success

 

I believe people thinking because all equipment is paid for makes it “easier” to take a crap load for shat is just that... Bullshat! I can look in the mirror and say I didn’t get F’d in the rear end today by #### near working for free.

 

Again, just because it's off the board doesn't mean it's been booked. Maybe it was posted just to see if the phone would ring or not or maybe the shipper cancelled the load. Lots of reasons they come down.

I see the same loads posted every day and have been watching them for years in my area. Nothing has changed. Sometimes it takes them a month to get them moved and it's always several hundred more than the posted rate.

Many of these loads come from places I'm direct with so I see the same load list from the same shipper as the brokers do. I can't speak for reefer but I know my area and much of the freight that leaves here very well.

 

I see the same ones posted over and over. Last year my dumb ### called on one and took it because it was posted a lot higher than average. 2 stop Costco in Rye NY and Port Chester. Never again

 

That's why they're usually there. Headache loads that pay garbage rates. Par for the course.

 

Just another dick swinging thread .
Yep I pull a reefer on contract freight.
None of your business what I get paid to do it .
