GO MERCER !!!!!

 

That's the good thing about the open market. You will see brokers who are timid in the same sort of way. Sometimes they will just up and tell you that's too high and you're crazy. Sometimes they will pretend they're going to the customer to ask, but don't. Sometimes they won't even take your calls anymore and get mad about it or you never hear from them again, until they REALLY need a truck. And the good ones will go to the customer and at least offer the option, but brokers like that are few and far between. Some of those are the ones who don't choke over fair rate quotes, I say fair, most brokers consider them ridiculously high compared to the averages - but with the sorry state of affairs and lots of folks in logistics who don't have a clue about operating a truck..... But hey, you can always walk at any point if you don't like something. Once you partner up with the right brokers and carriers, or maybe even direct, you really shouldn't have any trouble at all staying real busy in the ups, fairly busy in the not so up times, and at least have the option to park based on bank $$$ in the downs. I would hate not being able to get more money on loads when I knew there was always that possibility, and not even to have the option to shop anywhere else, that would really suck... I think the worst part about independent is invoicing, staying on top of it and keeping the cash flowing.. Staying on top of old invoices, etc. You can always use a factor or only use brokers with low price quick pay options or at the very least less than 30 days pay...

 

Oh, just come lease on to Danny Knapp Trucking. You know you want to !

 

You can still haul Mercer freight.

 

He can also drink the Land Star Hi-C

 

Yeah but he'll be hauling the scraps of Mercer, maybe, unless he has a few good contacts who trust him now at Mercer. I would think your wife doing the invoicing and tackling other paperwork tasks would make this much more fun, of course wifey will have her price for that I'm sure lol.

 

I prefer Landstar Lager.

 

.......and the list goes on!!!

i can show you some web base office stuff for keeping up with billing and invoicing for $90 a month it makes my life easy!!
