Re: In need of a MENTOR
Pantehr takes 15% of a backhaul. When you search any site you need to look for LTL loads.....many of them are 1-2 skids. Look within the radius of where tyou are and how far you are willing to run empty. For examle if I have a strait truck in El Paso I may search a 200 mile radius....looking for a load or a couple of loads that only go to dallas or the CLOSEST place I can get to where I can get a Panther load out. I have found MANY loads for strait trucks on getl;oaded that have paid 1.75 to 3$ a mile, and yes you have to sift thru all the bad stuff. When you do find a decent paying load....keep a broker file with numbers so that you can call them again when in the area and see if they have anything they have not posted.
You can learn freight lanes by looking at freight within 100 miles of where you are or 300 miles and see WHERE the majority of freiht is being delivered......it will give you a very good idea of what the freight lanes arefor that area..(where does freight deliver to and from).
I get the please pm me thing but if one person is asking the question, then I bet several people have the same question and would like it answered. If you ahve any furthur questions I will be happy to answer them here for you.
Understand that I look for loads for all of my strait trucks and also tractors.....and there is a HUGE difference in tractor lanes and strait truck lanes.
