Ok, how bad did I screw up?

I think you did good getting out of there personally, the west side of the mountains would have had you begging for loads at a buck a mile for van. How dod they do it when diesel is 4.30 a gal up there and the surrounding states, I have no idea.

 

Not too shabby, although MA is going to be a tough fight.

 

Yeah but it's in front of him and he won't catch it..... only the aftermath might slow him a bit. It was 85 in the Alamo today bud......come see us.....beats being cold.

 

Watch your tolls if you take 80/90 and once 90 turns into the Masspike - wouldn't want the Rate Per Mile to drop. Sending you a PM.

 

Better be sure your big boy panties are full of lose bills

 

What did you get coming into Spokane? I think I remember you loaded in the Twin Cities.

What really sucks is that you said this is a heavy load, and you already get crappy fuel mileage as it is. I guess it's a good thing you don't have to pay for the fuel. This week you will be making twice as much as your boss will be.

So maybe you should ask the original question to your boss? But I guess if he signed the rate sheet and all that, then he approves...hmmph.
I say have at it. Any time you as a company driver can make $1,300 for the week and only have to do one load, how much better could it be?

 

Where in MA?

 

Ya did good..... only way you screw that up is by hesitating and playing the "I'll call you right back" game with the broker, I guarantee you, if you had got off the phone with the broker it wouldn't have been there when you called back two seconds later....

 

You sat on a Mon, nothing wrong with that, I sit on Monday's.... It's hard to pull a rate on a Mon... Sounds like you booked this late on Tue?? The broker definitely wanted to move it... Did you negotiate it up to that rate, or did he offer $1.89 right off the bat??
