If ya don't have the stones to post the rate ... all you're doing is broadcasting that you drive for bottom feeder rates ... beyond dirt cheap!

Post the rate ... let's see if you make more on those 3,300 mi than I make on the 2,700 mi I booked earlier today. Doubtful .....
To quote the great OVM, "it's my business to run, not yours" and we are very satisfied with our business

I used to be very idealistic at one time, years ago...and then reality of this business sunk in....
do what you have to and make it work for: YOU.....
BTW: good for you :)....tell no one your rate....that is no ones business but your own...;)
Walmart doesn't tell KMart what to do or how to do it...:p

It use to be.." it's how much you run, it's how much you run for " or " Run less make more. "

As the world turns, so do the rest of our lives. Lol

Unfortunately, most of the carriers try to "catch down" to "yellow penske boxes", instead of setting their own standard.

agreed...the bigger carriers are now Part of the downfall of this business....sucking every penny out of the O/O with stupid. redundant policies and their hypocrisy...IMO
IMO, the O/O needs more flexiblity to respond to the situation on a daily basis....something a big carrier just can not do...big carriers need to go the way of the dinosaur...

That's a big reason I left a big carrier that resembles the letters XPO, I like the people there, they just weren't able to keep me moving other than a lot of paid empty moves and deadhead that hurt my overall rate and bottom line...that is why I joined Murray's Marauders...im happy with what he has done so far.

Many years ago...the owner and CEO came in here and forecast this business would become a volume situation and we O/O would become a commodity...and many of us in here chastized the man for calling us a commodity like pork bellies.....and over time he was spot on....its has become exactly what he said...carriers need you to run all the miles possible, hence the recruiting drive and keeping their fleet numbers high.

Its an admirable task that some are trying to hold onto the past....but as they leave us, this biz just keeps reaching new lows...

Don't leave us, OVM, we need those $1.25 rate loads you were always running.
