So called owner/operators

OK, That's your version of it. I know most of the H & A guys including Louie. So comparing that to the attitude I see from you...You hand picked a barn full of you. Paying damage just to keep dealers happy? I call BS.

But whatever...I'm goin to play golf. Have fun chaining.

 

Hansen's is what he said, Canadian carrier.

 

Everyone agrees that in car hauling world there is many bad loads,
- non profitable to the truck owner,
- on other words that are being done with no profit whatsoever to the truck owner
Question is why the big company is still taking 20% off the load knowing it's a f u c k e d u p load.
These 2 guys here are talking nonsense to anyone that is reading it, a business that is taking on a work with no profit is doomed business. Every load must bring profit, period. 's h I t left must be consumed directly by the one who took the contract, which in my opinion is a fraud

 

Adjust for real wear and tear and depreciation and many many loads are under water.
Mr Pete is talking like a recruiter.
It also varies, some companies are better than others. I don't know anything about his business but the rule of a thumb is that when you lease to an xyz company you will be doing loads with a loss.
And while you puff and huff and hussle trying to deliver load with a loss an xyz company is enjoying their 20%
So they don't care when they bid that 75% of the loads are shi t t y , they still cut 20% or more and b here on the forum they say it's OK, it 's OK guys, just take that cr ap of the table, they are hungry for 20%

 

Long story short when owner is loosing money they still make money by taking 20%

 

...and that 20% is where the wiggle room is found to make it profitable for me to do the run if it really has to get hauled. Figure slightly more of the total bill as "FSC" with slightly less as "freight" because I get 100% of the FSC but only my percentage of the freight. Accessorials are another way to increase what gets paid to my truck. I don't care how you make it look on paper, but if my pay for doing the run isn't going to exceed my costs, I won't be doing the run. Period. If you think it's so profitable, put it on one of your trucks. If you want me to do it, pay me enough to make it worth my while. I don't work for free.

 

Well looks like there 3 of us that aren't team players hey.
I wonder who he undercut to get this BIG contract he's bragging about. I'm sure there was a little money in it last year dunno about this year.

 

Isn't that the truth. Everytime I hear someone new has the contract like they're something special I think to myself, wow I wonder how cheap these morons bid.
