"The almighty $2.00 a mile theory"

I'm not a reefer tugger.....but almost anything that can fit in a dry van can go into a reefer....but not visa versa....Obviously a load of yellow onions can go by "Top Tarped" flats.....dry van, and reefer....but red/purple onions need temperature control otherwise they'll rot.......


Medicine Man hauled a load of paint in his reefer and IIRC....the temp couldn't dip below a certain point....Remember...a reefer can "run" both ways.......



Now a little education on the boards.....

I won't mention the the load board because the people who posted it are part of a larger organization....

They posted a load from PORT HUENEME,CA to
YERINGTON, NV.....But if you went to the link....The load was not two stops but three...But you got paid for the "named" stops....another broker "trick".....Watch for that....

 

LS is Landstar.......

You can either 'run' for them or have a freight agreement like I do with them...

Most of the LS loads I get are good to great.......


I also try to go "direct".....but as a single pony O/O...that gets tough since most shippers want "One phone call"......Not fifty...that's why there's brokers and load boards......

 

thanks im bout to go to prime and get my 1st year in unless the towboat calls 1st im goin to give that a month or so 1st but if they do not call me im doin what i wanted since i was little goin with my dad on the road but 200dollars a day for 30 days on and 30 days off aint to bad on the boat for a 21 year old

 

I have hauled a few landstar loads, but try to go direct both ways. I have found just being friendly and asking and leaving a business card has gone a long way to building up a customer base.

 

How the hell can you run a company when 3/4 of you don't know the meaning of AVERAGE!

I get $2mi on my produce hauls and I get get $1.50 on my brokered hauls back then the AVERAGE for two loads is $1.75.

You don't AVERAGE one load the definition of AVERAGING is to add up multiple points then divide by that number. You can have a two load average or a ten load average but you can not have a one load average.... ####### dummies

 

Yup...that's why when someone posts they make $3/m average..my mission is to either have them prove it or shut up........


The loads should be at $3/m...but then again I wish I was rich and didn't have to work too......

 

good evening WCP can you tell where did you get those indexes from .i think it would help me to incorporated in my business plan to see if it could sell better to the bank

 

im currently working to get a sba loan maybe those indexes and all my numbers would make them approved the loan

 

Right Here.....

 

thanks really trying to get this so i could get rolling
