We don't load those guys.
I'm talking about being an agent for Landstar, not brokering a load to them.

Good for you but those $1 a mile guys suck. I can't cover costs at that, oh well we'll live just gotta keep those cheap bastards out of our stuff. I'm part owner of an ACME terminal and have a couple of trucks as well.

Now understand, I do pay a little more for quality drivers.. our MC is a 177#. Been here for a long time.
If I see 800+ 1$ a mile

cutthroat fricker, you keeping it all for yourself J/K it's pretty good with ACME they pay the truck well but you have to be pretty good for them to keep you around or jeep you loaded, I miss the oilfield bad, you could knock out 6k a week and never drive over 1500 Mikes
Posted on 10/15/15 at 4:38 pm to Agforlife
See i've never done anything around the oilfield. I tell you though.. our Railroad department is off the chain.

We had guys that never drove over 600 miles a week knocking down 3 to 4k in load money plus another 1 to 2k plus in wait time.

Nah it's pretty much dead, there's still some work out there but they have pretty much stacked all the rigs for the time being. I'm just glad we have many different trailers so we aren't stuck hauling one type of freight.
Posted on 10/15/15 at 4:59 pm to Agforlife
So what do you do?
Posted on 10/15/15 at 5:12 pm to Codythetiger
I'm a silent partner in the terminal, I own 2 Petes that I have drivers in and 3 hotshot trucks (1 tons ) with drivers in them, I myself am a superintendent for a mid sized GC. The trucking stuff is a lucrative side business. I used to drive as an independent o/o but it just got to tough to compete with the aforementioned cheap bastards, so I leased onto ACME and after about a year they wanted to put a terminal in the area where I used to live and me and a friend put up the cash and opened it. I backed off after it got to where it runs itself with just one person doing the dispatching and picking the loads off the board.
