Your right, you may have attended more classes than I have in this subject. I say let's follow what you say!! I only have time for about 2 to 3 classes a month.

Contact CIS, Shelly or John. They will write your policy, and then find your brokers. When your ready I will get the names for you that support the independents. Good luck. No authority needed for a c/v. Just reliable transportation.

I wouldnt go across the street for $200:D Ok, well maybe across the street:cool:

The part that I find amusing the most. Is dispatchers are scared to think outside the box. Most would ull up a tariff from Laredo to McAllen for $200. So why not say hey, your tying up a guy, give me $600, $700, something other than NO!! I lose money on loads to cover them. It's part of the...

I don't know about 2 loads cause all my freight is exclusive and we never consolidate. But it would be the same regardless. Im doing tractor loads from Laredo to Laredo for $900. So I feel $600 on a cargo van is fair for 260miles r/t. Your also taking a chance of missing that opportunity out of...

Sorry. I'm confused. If the load was outta Mc Allen and I was in Laredo?

If I EVER offer you a .50 cent a mile load, I will give you the gun:D Yes, there are a handful of expedite companies utilizing independents. A lot of your major companies frown on it cause it's pulling more out of their pocket. For about the same as your paying for fee's you can get a awesome...

Thanks Bill, We are looking for solo's or husband and wife Teams. Solo's are kicking butt right now!!

Why would you EVER lease a c/v on to a company?? They should be competing for your truck, not parking. You should be setting your rates, not them, why are you paying fees? NONE of that even makes cents!

Sorry your confused. My straights and tractors run under a contract (exclusive). My cargo vans and sprinters are independents. (no contract). They can work for who they want at anytime. This gives them flexibility to make a better income for themselves.

Huh? I have tractors in Laredo, I would NEVER send a cargo van to Laredo. WHY? So they can sit or come out for $.50 a mile? I have plenty of vans that run for us. Cause I'm busy your saying I don't have access to them? Huh? I brokered over $1million in freight last year and the rate we...

It's amazing, I talked to Bolt,A.Blair, at least 10 companies that told me there drivers have NO interest in doing it. I also posted it on NLM(Im a customer),Active Aero, and posted it out to the Sylectus carriers. Finally in the afternoon Matrix bid it on NLM. I also had a call from a...

Your killing me:D:D:D

What?? your getting really old now. One day I will show you what we charge our customers. I put it out there cause I was screwed and had to get it covered. Im not here to impress you or anyone for that fact. And $600 is cheap. You have to send a trk to Mc Allen, (130) and then your gonna...

NO, I don't believe in anyone being exclusive to me. I will also give you a list of brokers to work with to ensure you stay busy. We support the independents. Screw being exclusive!!

Sorry, I don't mess with the west coast. But if I see something I will get ahold of u. Thanks!!

I have a cargo van at 7am going to Mc Allen direct. 130 miles, $600! Need help. If your out there call me 586-746-1345!!

Your so correct. Its sucks, because I want to talk to everyone, but being recruiter, is awesome, then putting out fires in dispatch,billing,operations,drivers,trucks,safety is the other things that happen when I do try to return calls. Sometimes it's easier to go back and forth. As the owner...

Send me a $100 and I will give you my answer:D

Thought you all would find this interesting. I received a phone call this past week in regards to meeting the sales people and owner of a very large 3PL. There pitch was to meet the sales persons and owners of the company on a specific date, and a specific venue with other carriers in a...
