When I call on a load and they give me the details ending in 'and we're paying $$$ to the truck', not even asking what I can cover it for, I usually just say thanks and hang up. Why waste time if they have no interest in negotiating.HopeOverMope, Lite bug, jdrentzjr and 2 others Thank this. -
As far as last year compared to this year, I’m Actually up but that’s because last year was my first year and had a lot of down time due to things breaking.
Thanks for the insight.86scotty Thanks this. -
Back to the point of this discussion - rates are down, and there's only so much that can be done about that from the broker's end. Someone's gonna move the stuff cheap, and we have to compete in that space. It's frustrating for us, too, because a) it cuts into what I can pay for better drivers and b) also means I'm working just as hard as I have been working, but for less.LtlAnonymous, Lite bug, jdrentzjr and 9 others Thank this. -
