Thats the reason behind this whole thread....but wait....he gets to buy his own insurance and wait for the money too. He is independent though. And he gets to drive 10,000 miles a month! Gotta be worth somethin.

I think the larger issue is the rates. You just got a contract cancelled because you asked for .90/mile to leave your house...which tells me you consider that to be a good rate. Its not. I would love to know what you guys average per all miles. We need less rate cutters in the industry, not...

Mornin! Moved up to Charlotte, NC last night for a pickup this morning. Headed for MS. 540 miles by 6am tomorrow. This pace is killin me :)

Bwahahaha! :banghead::banghead::thumbup:

IF they are actually trying to service a true customer...yes. But more than likely, their just bidding off a board and dont want to waste time trying to get a decent rate. You know, that aggressive bidding stuff. If you get aggressive enough (cheap enough), you can probably load trucks pretty...

Taking advantage of an opportunity isnt what gets me. I would consider that myself....if the money was there. Taking advantage of the opportunity so that you can make LESS is what just blows my mind. The false capacity is just a by product of an already bad business model...and it hurts the...

Rollin, rollin, rollin....... :D Thanks Jeremey!! :)

Zorry, I dont think they have that attitude. There is obviuosly a need for freight sharing so that the carriers can get their overflow loads moved and keep their customers happy. Over the years, there have been many smaller carriers emerge who get their freight exclusively from the load boards...

I could answer that....but I think John might enjoy it more...lol

Just because a person is paranoid by nature does nothing to lessen the probability that they really are "out to get ya". :D

She took the Sprinter away from ya, eh?

Might wanna turn that vacuum off....might pull in a storm :D

Ditto....they show one for the 6.0....says something about the possibility of a recessed plug or something. I havent looked yet.

Cuzzzz....i told ya...best to stay outta the soapbox. These guys fist fight with street signs on a regular basis.

Rich, I'll send you a pm. I dont like to discuss numbers in public. I apologize if my post sounds disrespectful to you personally. I actually have a good amount of respect for you. I dont like the results you guys are getting. If the numbers were there....I would be too. I realize that you...

Thanks for the link. Ive been meaning to ask for it or do a search. I want to get one of those for my gasser too. They do show one.

Sure is....thinkin Im south of it for now. Its probably going to be something to keep an eye on for the next few days.

Wow....every time I read one of these multiple carrier/own authority threads it just sounds so tempting......NOT!! Why do you guys want to do more work, with more hassle, lessen your chances of being paid in a reasonable timeframe (if ever) for LESS money than you can get with an exclusive...

Had a guy do that with an oil drain plug once in a pov...he and I were lucky that I saw the oil pressure dropping just as I hit my driveway. Changed out the plug, refilled the oil and it was good to go.

Was pretty simple really...they asked me where I wanted to go. I didnt have a preference really, so I just closed my eyes and picked a spot on the map....man these guys are good :D
