I am glad that you just explained the pay scenario as I was just looking at how it was done. It was kinda confusing me till you laid it out. I know it tells you what town to pick up and deliver in but does it give you the name of the customer also or is that something you get after you call or email or however you book?

DFO: If you can indulge a very retro question...you'll have to go down memory lane for a moment...as a company driver did you avail yourself of the per diem program?
Any thoughts or comments?
Love the work you do on your threads...very helpful, very informative.

If you are really curious about a load you can call in and get some more information about it.
Eventually you begin to recognize who is who based on the load zip code, weight, and where it goes to. Appointment windows or set times are also a good indicator. I'd say 80% of the loads I run now I know exactly who the customers at both ends are at before I even book it.popcorn169, 88 Alpha and Grijon Thank this. -

Either way, the balloon payment is too high. I plan on leasing a new truck every 3 years myself, because that way all the major stuff is always under warranty, and I'll be keeping up with newer technologies, better MPG engines, and the like. I figure if I complete 2 or 3 leases and save where I can, I'll probably have enough to snag a good cash truck in several years... Maybe even enough to buy a new one outright, although that might be stretching it, it's too early to tell. Personally, I don't mind paying a lease payment as long as I'm making the money I want. I consider it a business expense the same as if I opened up a retail store and was paying rent on a brick and mortar building.91B20H8, moosc, cnorm and 1 other person Thank this. -
Moron box planners sending me to locations that don't have any empties and wouldn't release them to a bobtail even if they did. Then trying to send me BACK TO THEORY PLACE I ORIGINALLY DELIVERED TO THAT DVD HAVE ANY EMPTIES IN THEORY FIRST PLACE. Called in to the world's most unhelpful support shift asking for a confirmed empty, not helpful at all and I could tell just by the tone of his voice he isn't going to do jack s***. Lazy *** piece of ****.

If support calls you asking what you're doing, just tell them that you're performing an "aggressive reallocation of available assets"dante411x, runningman0661 and mickimause Thank this. -
Wish I knew more customers down here in Columbia SC. But I'm done wasting my time. I'll just go back in the morning when the original customer I dropped at reopens their offsite empty lot. I wanted to pick up an empty and get very close to my next picking tonight since it was 1-2am, no traffic, great time to just drive, but nope that's too much to ask of our completely incompetent after-hours staffing. What a joke. So I parked it and I'm done for the night.
