NoProblem
Expert Expediter
Yessiree, in the next few months, using history as a guide, most expediters will feel the pinch of longing for runs. Good runs. Many will take whatever is offered in order to make some money, settling for cut rates, short runs with long dead heads and more idling than rolling. Jan till March is slow - accept it and prepare for it. Hopefully most folks prepared for it all year long!
Hopefully, this slow season will be better than past seasons and hopefully folks won’t wait too long to position themselves profitably.
I am writing this because this is what I was looking at 4 or 5 months ago - I was trying to position myself to keep fatter than most when “skinny times” hit relying on my knowledge of the seasonal slow down to come, while some other drivers, concerning themselves with the present, neglected to worry about the future uncertainty of the seasonal slow period.
As some of you may remember from my previous posts, I quit the last expediter after two weeks - for which some folks criticized as my not allowing enough time for me to get to know the company better - but as raceman says: “it did not fit me”.
Nor can I fully understand how losing money while working for the purpose of earning money could ever fit anyone, but I will accept that it actually does.
Well folks, out of shear dumb luck, I out did myself and landed the mother load of expediting and wish to share my good fortune with you all.
Since I last posted "DIS-Orientation - finalized", I have made as much money in one month with my new company as I made in my prior 3+ months with two other expediters doing nothing more than the exact same job. That’s correct, you read it right, I more than tripled my income and have positioned myself to ride out the seasonal slow times in style!
The company I am with is A. Blair Enterprises out of Louisville Ky. Owned and operated by none other than Tom Robertson of EO fame. Here is a link to their web site: removed by LM
I would urge everyone - teams in particular and especially - who have the forward looking vision to know things will get tight in the next 3 or 4 months and who want great runs while making great money driving for an outstanding company, to look into this company same as I did. I firmly believe that if you do, you will soon discover the same thing I did - then you can thank me later
I can only say that things will get skinny for A. Blair Enterprises same as the whole industry - BUT - skinny times for me now means as a solo, I might only be able to hope for 2300 miles per week instead of the 3000+ I’ve been getting while driving his late model, fully loaded (including TV/DVD, fridge, microwave, etc. etc.) and very nicely spec’d. straight truck.
He has an outstanding bonus plan that is almost too easy to meet and really pumps up the weekly gross.
In the last month, I have not called in even one time looking for a load, and never plan to call in looking for another load again - with this company looking out for the driver’s welfare, there is no need to ever worry about calling in for loads again! I rested as I needed and ran only great loads for great profit.
My dead head miles are practically non-existent and have thus far been under 4% of my total miles!
Honestly, I could go on and on but the bottom line is this: this company has runs like you won’t believe until you are there and with the highest pay package in the industry, it’s a no lose situation. Don’t worry about going to NYC, Jersey or the like - they do not operate in that neck of the woods.
Teams would profit the most because long runs are the rule with this company - 1800 mile expedited runs each way are plentiful, common and frequent - and bring in an outstanding revenue for the drivers.
For those who might be interested, I urge you to check out the link I posted - I am here to tell you that I am living proof that what the link says is 100% true. For those who might wish to speak to me about it, I will give it to you straight with no BS - just message me with your phone number and I will be happy to talk with you about it.
Why am I doing this?
Simple:
I know that many of us have been getting the short end of the stick for way too long and I am willing to tell you what’s up with my new company in order to spread the wealth and good news.
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and health, happiness and a very Prosperous New Year!
