seems with the questions you have been asking,your not prepared to run on your own authority.If you have to rely on brokers,you will be behind the eightball from the get go.it could be 21 days or longer befor you receive any money for what your doing.If you factor your loads and get their pay,thats just another percentage of the revenue your giving away.you better read past posts and find a person to drive for til you get some experience.Dont want to seem so harsh,but in my 35 years Im to old to pull any punches

If I were you, I would start at $1 per mile plus a fuel surcharge of .07 per mile and negotiate down from there. You'll do real good :)

He'll be doing better than some.... heck with no need to log or scale he will get everywhere faster than the rest of us and snag all the GOOD loads before we get there....:p

hmmm.... here in this thread, he sayes he is losing loads...in one of his other threads, he saye he is so busy he has to turn offers down...

I hope we all realize that we are "being played" by a troll... for the entertainment of a few others...:rolleyes:

I'll bet that within a few days, he will be gone, never to be heard from again, just like most of the new posters that come in like this.....

The troll also brags about the size of the pie portion he's getting without even knowing what to bid. At least, I think that's what he was saying in that rambling, unpunctuated collection of words.
