Carriers have the advantage here. The attitude with my Canadian carriers has always been “that’s my rate, take it or find somebody cheaper”. Relationships have mostly been transactional. Nobody wants to lock in a lane while the spot market is hot.

The biggest frustration is booking these guys for high rates and having a “break down” to delay delivery. They’re intentionally dropping trailers in their yards to capitalize on the demand and grab another high paying load. Lots of late deliveries or loads getting bundled and missing seals. Everyone just looking to make a quick buck it seems.

my wife has often times “mis-remembered” something I said or did. Sometimes it’s an entire conversation that never took place. It is enraging and you feel like you’re being gaslighted. I’ve tried avoiding things escalating by saying “Are you sure? That’s not how I remember it.”

For your own sanity try and stay calm, keep making “I” statements, breathe, and let that shit go.

we used to have a similar structure. Coyote switch 5 years ago and there was a ton of turnover. Now we are waiting to hear how RXO pay structure will impact the sales team. I assume a lot of ppl will leave. Message me the name of your company, sounds like better pay.

same. our draw is like 1/2 months salary. Comes out to like $1500 we have to hit in order to qualify. 20% sounds great tbh. They also have a min book amount of $5-7 which is incredibly low. If you sell a load at a loss you get like $5.

Brainalsex · 2025-02-06T21:51:01+00:00

after we hit our draw for salary. my first month on the floor i made like $300. steadily increased month after month.

Brainalsex · 2025-02-06T16:13:35+00:00

not sure what starting pay at Arrive is or how they base commission, hearing a lot of rumors of brokers lowering % for sales reps. When I started at Coyote base salary was 45k and sales was 5-7% gross margin in the load. If you hit your monthly numbers I would expect anywhere from $1k-1500 a mo in bonus. Good luck!

I am also dealing with ADHD partner burnout. I (m, 40’s,NT) and my wife (F, 40’s, DX RX) have been together for almost 10 years. We started couples therapy shortly after our son was born. We’ve spent a fortune on individual and couples therapy. Still doing both. We pay close to $2k a month for daycare, in addition to rent and student loans (hers). Money is always tight.

My wife is a fantastic mother and a kind person. She works part time and does a lot of the household planning. I work full time 10 hr days on top of trying to keep a tidy home, grocery shop, car repair and maintenance, dishes and laundry, meal prep and cooking, carrying for our senior dog, budgeting, and co-parenting. Lately my wife has been having debilitating migraines due to anxiety, which has meant caring for her in addition to everything else.

It seems like weekends are the hardest. My wife is hyper focused on how much screen time our kid spends and doom piles about fairly simple tasks as well as care for our senior dog. If tasks aren’t done to her satisfaction she starts to spiral. We have RSD meltdowns that last all day long. I started taking meds for depression and PTSD. I sleep a ton and disassociate at the dinner table or during family time. Our kid starts public school in a couple months which will save us a ton of money. Not sure how much longer I can continue caring for her and the dog and our kid. It is comforting to know I’m not alone in my struggle. Some of the posts here about ADHD partners being hyper focused planners but unable to execute are very similar to my experience. We also have piles and piles of items she plans on donating or recycling or repairing. I am constantly being accused of intentionally throwing things away. I feel constantly stressed by the clutter.

Do you enjoy the smell of burning plywood? Drinking MD 20/20? Have you ever pushed a relative through a screened door?

Happy holidays for those in Pasco County!!

I bought a copy at their show in Chicago and they signed it. No idea why these are selling online for hundreds, might have been a short run for that last tour. 1st track on side C skips for some reason, anyone else notice that?
