BTW, if you really really want a chance at being successful at this, instead of complaining as to why it isn't working for you, I'd go back and do some reading. If you're with Panther or another carrier who uses flat rate, I'd do a search on everything someone like DaveKC has ever posted. Dave...

If they throw the stinker loads on the load board, they will either be upside down on the pay, or it won't get covered. You think I'm gonna run some crappy load that you turned down for nothing? I know a lot of leased O/Os who know to ask for more money on a load if the pay stinks. If they...

You would need to be obeying hours of service now, because of your GCW of dually and trailer. Despite what a lot of people think, the biggest obstacle to decent freight rates is not brokers, but illegals running under the radar. You've never had to keep proper insurance and/or permits, so you...

"The second part of the bid board factor is the countless loads that are brokered out to other carriers load bords and then rebrokered; and on, and on, and on, and on; etc. In many cases, some of the loads out here are brokered so many times that by the time the driver gets the load, there is...

Sounds like you wish to be an employee again, rather than a business owner. No risk, no reward!

You can also get that if you're an OOIDA member.

Miami for example, is just heinously hot in the summer.

Seems like they have a whole network of websites that are all committed to the All-Types propaganda machine. It's kind of funny that they have to work so hard at lying.

Personally, I love the weather in O-Town. Just wish that we had more cool breezes.

Oh and if the search engine here doesn't like your terms for being too short, type it as ALL-Types (hyphenated) and you'll still get what you need to know.

Seems as though this is the one company that everyone agrees on.In my opinion? SCAM. I think it was MSinger who mentioned that they are now doing business as Midwest Expediting, since so many folks are on to them now.

By George, I think he's got it. :)

I've seen some of the GMC trucks listed on the Penske used website as 6750 tare weight. Most of those are gassers, so it's probably a 5.7L . 6 cylinder.

The dispatcher is an employee of a business owner. You however, are not an employee with a truck investment, you are another business owner. If you'll think of your carrier as your client, you'll be able to overlook the idiocy of some of the underlings, and see a bigger picture. That being...

In my mind, the right truck for you to be a viable player and the cost of insurance. I've made mistakes in the past with the truck thing, so I know first hand what it can cost you. Yes, 1Mil liability and 100,000 cargo is pretty standard and will get you play will most of the big boys. Then...

Ark, It one of those things where you have to spend money in order to make money. It's not really that mysterious. The only reason you'd have closed doors is if you don't have a basic understanding of where freight comes from and how it moves. Once you find who has the freight, you just need...

If someone wants to call me with a load, I'm available 24/7. I admit though, it is rare to get any calls between 9pm and 7am, unless I'm already under load.

Some of the big brokers only want to deal with big carriers. Then some big brokers like small carriers, only because they feel they can push them around. There are some small brokerages with big opportunities. Some of those only want to deal with fleets under 15 just because of the...

Welcome to EO, PMO. There are quite a few threads that talk about Express-1 on here. My suggestion would be to do a search for them within the forum. That would be able to give you more info than a few answers in this particular thread would.

For a program such as GPS411, I'm sure it is a balancing act between accepting people who will haul the freight, and making sure there are enough carriers who have freight to broker. Too many at one end and not enough of the other, and you'll have some very unhappy folks paying for the service.
