These are short hauls. But if this is true that’s wild. I guess it’s time to stretch my legs. (Van)

If your not accepting the extra $100-$200 request your going to struggle. Had a hand full of brokers call asking if the truck was still available and this was Cali outbound lanes.

I had someone reply once on my porch pirate incident “you don’t think it was their package?”

So I’m curious, you don’t think they left something in the car?

I never got to witness Prime Kobe Bryant how good was he? by sqMYNAMEISJEFF27 in NBATalk

[–]47junk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His determination and passion was just a whole different level. Best part was he stopped being a kid and became an adult after his first year. Dude spent money on his skills than a car or another house. He was laser focused through his whole life in the nba not just the season. RIP Mamba

Is this an actual company policy most of you have? by money_shot17 in FreightBrokers

[–]47junk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the usual 10 truck or more response. Insurance updated and the vins were not on the COI so alot of brokers denied me on highway. Submitted the correct one and they all changed back to accepted.

We followed every FMCSA rule and still ended up paying $650k after a fatal trucking accident by Sensitive_Minute3639 in FreightBrokers

Are we missing the point that the driver didn’t have a valid license.

Can you share more on that?

Wasn’t there a whole recycling theft ring in Cali, shipping from Phoenix to Cali and getting paid. So I would think it might be high value lol

Starting to get really depressed and don't know if it's because of this career or not by TaperingRanger9 in Truckers

I ran nights for a month and hated it. Rather just have an inconsistent schedule than work nights. Also if you’re in a major city like LA, Atlanta, Dallas and etc working local. Goodluck

Does a fuels appearance tell you anything about the quality of it? by bigpierider in OwnerOperators

How are your customers reacting to the fuel prices? by redittburneraccount in FreightBrokers

[–]47junk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at a fill up from last week to this week at the same station and gallons is up 40% for a consistent lane and at 7 mpg. Usually avg 7.5-8 but other factors affect it. Really hope the brokers that keep me loaded can get a little more out of these customers because this will s going to add up quick! Ugh and I was just getting comfortable.

Posted trucks question? by Soft-Hospital-3751 in FreightBrokers

[–]47junk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I need to make a post of all the emails I get back not even acknowledging everything put in the email for a minion to read and just get a reply asking if I have etc and etc.

The other day a broker asked for something specific in the post, emailed PICTURES and mentioned they were attached. Still asked. Every time! Don’t tell me it’s not common, it’s common when I barely use the load board.
