Diane and I ask for more money under the new system the same way we did under the old. If a load offer is priced at an unprofitable level, we decline the load. Then we send a free-form message with the run number saying, "Will accept run #xxxxxxxx if pay is changed to $x,xxx.xx." The price is determined by our known cost per mile plus the profit margin we require to move the truck.
Making counteroffers in this straightforward, no-games way via Qualcomm communicates the necessary information and respects dispatcher time. Dispatchers do not take it personally when we counteroffer. We do not take it personally when dispatch says no or does not respond to our counteroffer (which is the same as saying no).
