Talk About Your Cheap Freight.

[redytrk]

$3.97 Indianapolis to Columbus Oh. Thats total charge, not per mile. Delivered overnight on Sat to boot.
It was a 60# Dorm fridge ordered from Walmart. Delivered to doorstep by FedEx Ground. Heck Gasoline to Walmart cost that much. Plus wrangling through check out and wrestling it in and out of the car.
Hard to compete against this.

More info please.

More info please.

Ordered the fridge online from Walmart. Was shocked when shipping charges were only $3.97. Even more shocked when it arrived next day. Move over Amazon.

I smell bull excrement.

Roll up your windows and put some Vick's Vapo Rub on you upper lip, that will take care of the smell.

I smell bull excrement.

I was driving thru VA, and thought I smelled Ohio. Then I realized I was passing a pig farm.

He was saying BS cuz he thought $3.97 was way to high. According to your bill, it was only $2.97. So apparently he was on to something.

Talk about retail arbitrage...
The lowest price on Amazon for that same refrigerator is $113.12 shipped with most being priced in the $150 range.
List them on Amazon and buy it and drop ship it from Walmart. Easy money from the truck

We do on Walmart but not on Amazon. And I love ordering cat food at Walmart...beats the price here locally AND the fedex guy slugs it up to the door as opposed to me driving 84 miles round trip and buying it and having to slug it in myself..

Why does your bid always get outbid because there is someone needing to go home and willing to take it cheap or someone is sitting in the back of a cargo van hunched over on their laptop at the local truck stop putting a bid in themselves for .60 to .75 a mile. Better reason to find a carrier that has real clients that will pay the industry rate of .90 to a buck a mile in a sprinter!

I see it happen all day every day... it's like you gotta hope a heavy load comes through that is 3000 lbs and there are no other sprinters in the area. Today I'm bidding cheap and tomorrow I'm gunna be back up to the industry standard...

Sometimes you get outbid by a guy that says " Today I'm bidding cheap and tomorrow I'll be back up to industry standards."

Sometimes you get a stupid cheap offer on a load you don't care to do so you place a crazy high bid that will assure you won't get it... And you get it...

If that's the industry standard for sprinters that's sad. Used to drive for companies that used to tell us that. Funny how much something like an mlm load can really pay when the curtains are pulled back.
