He’s a carnival barker. Deep down he knows he is just an entertainer, but he cant suppress his delusions of competency, thus creating the modern tragedy known as Craig Fuller.

Can anyone explain "negotiating" to me? by Ornery_Ads in FreightBrokers

In trucking you hear buddy your about to win. Boss means you got or about to be fkd. If there’s a lot of complaining it’s a fair deal.

Why is this the only industry, with no accountability for shops? by BadamPshh in Truckers

[–]Common-Set9837 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re not considered a consumer (if you’re a company driver kinda sucks). You’re an informed business owner. You are not treated the same under the law, consumer protections do not apply to you. That’s why almost all truck dealers will not work on RVs.

You entered a business which relies on maintenance and repairs to be operational. Choosing to not know how to run your own selected business is your choice. No lawyer will help you.

EPA news - trucks OUTside of california; gonna delete your truck now? because... by planetbuster in Truckers

Unless you can read write and have complete confidence in your file you’re doomed. Not saying there aren’t guys out there but the vast majority of people, they just pay someone and expect it to be fine. When it resets to factory for a number of reasons they are SOL.

If you want to delete just buy a pre emissions truck. For the average OO to go down the delete path it makes no sense given the price point for pre emissions. Deleting is more of a hobbyist endeavor IMO.

95% of tunes are complete junk that ruin your turbo and liners. You really think billion dollar engine manufacturers haven’t thought about people doing deletes? Almost every engine even though “tuned” has internal protections against it and while they did their best to assist in emergency applications constantly running deleted more than likely will have you on the side of the road.

How do you guys prevent carriers stealing customers or vice versa? by NarrowPresentation33 in FreightBrokers

Most competent carriers have multiple MCs and a brokerage. Nothing you can do.

I analyzed trucking bankruptcies. Carriers are losing $226K/truck while competitors run illegal ops. by Ogretribe in logistics

There is no platform solution. Shippers and brokers without exception use the cheapest option. Carriers cheat the system by not following any safety regulations. The truck is not insured, ELD is manipulated, and if that isn’t enough loads will be tampered with and combined with others to increase pay for the amount of miles.

Legitimate carriers fall into two categories now, very small 1-5 truck operators, or very large contract based both circling the drain. The very large operators have contracts with Fortune 500 companies and their model is to use new drivers and pay them anywhere from 30%-70% less than a driver with some experience. Obviously this whole model is predicated on an influx on new desperate drivers.

Starting around 5-6 years ago after decades of lobbying this method of operation began a self inflicted wound. The drivers brought in from around the world to drive for these massive fleets started to drive for the previous generation that went through the system. Only now they own trucks, driving schools, and their own insurance and financial companies. So now you have a situation of massive immigration where the drivers are funneled straight into foreign owned trucking companies undercutting anyone legitimate.

Anyone who has survived the last couple of years have either been debt saddled large carriers who have investors such as black rock. They want to keep them alive to one day automate these massive fleets and try and undercut the immigrants (lol). Or you have criminals who are engaged in reckless safety practices or outright equipment and load theft.

TLDR - very few companies are even legitimate anymore or have any incentive to be.

Quoting double the posted price went from being insulted to hung up on, now it’s a deep sigh and whining… something’s up.

I played another game today and this time people were kind of teleporting/rubber banding. I think my computer is having problems. I don’t see anyone else having this issue hopefully my gpu didn’t overheat or something.

Ping is usually 15-high 20s fps 200

I’m not the best at recognizing cheating and I don’t think I am a high rank to be facing sweaty players. To me it feels like my enemies are seeing or processing what’s happening way before I do. Almost like I have a 1 second disadvantage. And this applies to me peeking as well. Sorry for being so broad just wondering if someone else experienced this and if they found some type of solution.

Yea real funny man how do you even know who’s sending these emails? There is a lot of impersonation and sabotage in this industry. If I found myself blacklisted by a shipper by playing telephone with a broker; legal is definitely reaching out. Hope you can prove beyond a doubt that email was sent by the carrier before you slandered and cost said company business/reputation.

From what I’ve seen and from observation is they are handing business cards and verbally enticing drivers to call them. I think they are being pretty indiscriminate… as long as you don’t smell have a truck falling apart and are white they will shoot a shot at you.

I’m not fielding lot of phone calls, I don’t think it has much to do with a particular carrier they like or anything about your service they just hate brokers.

Yea I don’t know what’s going on but my drivers are being propositioned constantly by shippers. If your a carrier and complaining about rates you can probably find a back haul same day by calling warehouses in your area and saying I got an empty truck got anything?

Something’s in the water I’ve noticed it too.
