The adventures of 'Team Klingon'

Make sure on Monday you look at freight capacities before you book a load. You need to be booking a load into a tight capacity market. Coming out of CA you may need to do this in stages. Always be leery of high rates if you have not researched outbound from that destination. This is what you see in Seattle and from there (Bay Area) Denver will look appealing. Don't take the bait. Denver is a black hole. We got $2.00 a mile from Sacramento last week into the Southeast where rates are awesome. Lots of $3.00 a mile loads posted into crappy freight areas. This will get easier with some experience and as your authority matures. Just don't panic. The later in the day you book, the more the broker NEEDS to move the freight. Don't be afraid to quote high, if they say no you can come down a bit or stick to your guns and tell them to please call you if they end up being able to move towards you in rates. Going to be tough to be too picky until you have access to more brokers so it is a balancing act.

 

Hope everyone is having a great 4th today, esp those of you who are out on the road.

 

Thanks, I am still on the road... so "just another day in the office" 😕
But I echo 👍 your greeting to one and all too. 🎆🎆

 

And the new baby is one very good reason to be home. One of ours we got to see every 3mo when we went home, so much was lost with his babyhood. Hope you get to spoil this one rotten.

 

Man do I feel 😋! And just a bit 😳!
I thought I was on another thread 😲
My sincere apology for the error.
God bless one and all. ☺

 

Paula, based on everything I am seeing, Monday is going to be a huge day. Rates are strong and most places are short on trucks. Have fun tomorrow. Remember, you can call us if you have questions.
