<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottied67, post: 4673318, member: 40325&quot;]Terminal to terminal freight has been tough to come by. 5 different terminals I have been told &#039;tonite we will load you&#039; then come that night I&#039;d go in asking about my load and they say they don&#039;t have enough freight to fill the trailer, maybe tomorrow night. 3 of the terminals that said this, I sat 3-4 days waiting for them to fill the trailer, the other 2 terminals were the next night like they said. </p><p><br /></p><p>This last load I did, they call my up at midnight or so and say load is ready. I go to get it, and they had left already, paperwork in the back of trailer backed up to dock. OK cool, EXCEPT the tandems were 37,888 pounds and going to Cali. Had to sit til morning for someone to come in to rework it. The good news is they had a return load preloaded and everyone wanted 4th of July off would I be interested? Sure, makes a 3600 mile week. They dispatched and loaded my fuel card before I even got there, didn&#039;t know which trailer it was so sat around til they opened up Monday midnight and see dispatch wants load 1800 miles away Tuesday morning. </p><p><br /></p><p>In between some of those loads I did do a couple of broker loads, one was a 700+ mile in 24 hours. Let&#039;s just say I got it there through 2 55 mile per hour states just 1:45 late. </p><p><br /></p><p>Supposed to be paid 92% of the rate the broker quotes the load. It must be like 92% of 75% or something because the end rate is so cheap. I sat at one terminal a couple days and requested to be released (have to be &#039;released&#039; now to be able to book broker loads) from the terminal to book a broker load. Got a response basically, that&#039;s not my job but let me get someone else and no help after that. Broker did have a 500 some mile load for $2 bucks a mile but we couldn&#039;t book it because corporate didn&#039;t release me. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know how the lease guys are surviving with the big payments. Mine is paid off but if it wasn&#039;t for my gambling winnings I&#039;d be eating&nbsp; noodles.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
