When signing on....Go Big or Stay Home.....

I have always found the best results with the 100-400 size outfits. Dealt with one larger carrier. No desire to ever do that again. And why anyone would stick around long enough to have their truck repossessed when a carrier they linked up with goes down the tubes, go figure. But with some of the bigger carriers, I have seen lots of times were an individual is barely taking in enough to cover the truck and the road expenses that the family might have to live homeless like OP described. And that was with no threat that the carrier was going bankrupt and had no more capital credit available.

 

I have seen lots of times were an individual is barely taking in enough to cover the truck and the road expenses that the family might have to live homeless At the same time there are a lot that put themselves in that position , buy more truck than they need , spend $ on SHINY TRINKETS to impress others in the same situation , tell dispatch where they will only go , then sit for days waiting for a load out of their desired location.

 

dang that's an unusual post from you. no recommending cardinal or farm to fleet this time?

 

Or whatever other outfit POPS up on his GOOGLE SEARCH for certain areas of the country

 

Or, don't sit around and feel sorry for yourself because you didn't get paid. If I were to ever be put in that situation you can bet your bottom dollar that I will be leased to another carrier by the end of the following week, but then again I run my business so that if something like that were to happen I wouldn't sweat it, its something that is less common anymore than common sense, its called being fiscally responsible.

Because the big guys NEVER go belly up owing anyone and everyone money, huh?

 

this post is a joke ,like sarcasm just really scared that someone could think this way!!

 

And what's wrong with F2F?

 

The owner is an A hole with a Napoleon complex.

 

The issue seems to be more about how well the company is run than about how many trucks they operate.

 

I don't believe that he implied that there is anything wrong with them, some people say the same things over and over, that is what he was pointing out.

I've heard that from more than one person before.
