once you have your own authority then what?

Its real Simple to get the Contracts dont listen to these Guys whos been doing it for years son they know what there talking about,Son just listen to me, heres how you get the Authority you so desparately been waiting for to use to make BIG BUCKS,NO WHAMMIES and be top NOTCH CArrier

The owner of the RV company is married to the wife,whos dad died and left the company to the wife,but she didnt know crap bout trucking business so she signed it over to the husband,whos cheating with on the wife of the dad who gave him the business,little niece whos cheating with her husband whos the wife of the guy who died uncleinlaw,and now shes pregnant with juniors,junior but wont tell junior instead gonna blame the baby on junior,even tho its uncleinlaws baby who hires the drivers to haul the RVs,but they wont hire you because your background is too squeaky cleean to even try and hit on the office secretary whos obsessed with juniors, junior and does payroll,so you see how hard it is too Get in to this bUsiness

,,,ROTFLMAO if u can find a way to bang the nieces sister whos married to Susan and they believe there in love and no one can stop them because there in the family and when the husband dies hes gonna leave it to them,because eventually he walk in on the wife whos cheating with juniors brothers,well HELL YOU WOULDNT EVEN NEED YOUR AUTHORITY ,,LOL

But seriously its something that takes time,skill,building relationships,unless your sisterinlaws uncle,is there sister in laws uncle

Wish the Best of luck to you!

 

Those guys who pull the RVs are just wearing out their trucks, that is unless they are older and just want to get out of the house. Either way not much money in it at all. Find a niche.

 

Authority is easy to get and great to have...but...if you have nothing to haul, the insurance premiums will eat you alive. You may want to stay working for a company that has the loads or find another type of load to move.

 

I think I just read a script from the Jerry Springer show.

 

all joking aside, This guy wants to haul RV's..I don't know the RV business BUT,

What I can add to this is 'POSITVE reinforcement to a guy that truly wants to be a professional carrier hauling general freight commodities..

While I agree with Most of Admiral's points....Getting a TRUE,Honest customer is not as hard as these guys are making it out to be...How bad do you want it? Don't let any of these guys tell you its all that HARD,or you only get lucky.

Im not sure where your located..But Im here in Chicago, Even with a 1 truck operation,You can still secure quality customers with fair payment terms, Most likely,(unless its a small company,or they need weekly inbound material) YOU CAN GET A LOT OF OVERFLOW FREIGHT OR FREIGHT THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE THROWN AT A 3PL/BROKER...iT can BE DONE.

I have MANY customers that would rather deal with a smaller carrier (especially on inbound freight) as opposed to throwing out scraps to a broker..

And the 'Neat' thing about the world of transportation today? You don't have to Wine n Dine the Customer (like years past) Logistics supervisor,Buyer or transportation president, Don't have time for a "Dog and Pony show"..They want Results Today, And your On Time service will outshine any Dog and Pony Show these logistic hounds (brokers) throw their direction

From my experience here in the Midwest..Talk is cheap, Service Matters

Best of luck to the OP,Or anyone else that I may have brightened their day

 

Again, if you want someone to get you some Direct Contracts...send me an email...it will cost you. Jerry

 

how much will it cost jerry? i'm curious.

 

Lmao u guys are HILARIOUS

 

One

I think you can haul a RV with out authority on a small 1 ton truck. But I could be wrong .

TWO

This RV biz is going to EXPLODE with low fuel prices.

Baby Boomers with low oil prices it is going to be NUTS.


Just my take on things.

 

that was probably the best quote I've read so far. Everyone else is just clueless opinions, and judgmental statements. So I agree with you, all these hauling companies start somewhere, so what is a quantitative number to entice them? Do I need my own yard, how many trucks in my fleet? drivers? years of experience? I mean honestly you know as much as I do. A

nd to all the truckers with smart comments, I noticed not a single person can answer my question definitively. That being the case, I assume none of you have your own authority as no one knows the answer beyond hauling just cars. Just guessing and self defeatist assumptions.
