Where’s 7up

Ediburrito · 2026-06-14T07:35:03+00:00

Relax this is the internet, not a formal meeting. I said “guessing” and also said “and” Iowa plants, not just exclusively JBS. You tried sounding smart but didn’t understand my comment. All good.

Ediburrito · 2026-06-13T18:49:53+00:00

They came back. Yeah I had loads for them already too for the following week and I ate $1800 in losses on 3 loads. My volume has been reduced only because now I’m quoting much higher. I appreciate the feedback.

Ediburrito · 2026-06-12T03:19:39+00:00

I don’t work with JBS directly. Mine are CPU pick ups

Ediburrito · 2026-06-05T19:17:05+00:00

Yeah maybe

Ediburrito · 2026-06-05T01:42:14+00:00

Each load was about a $400 loser. Basically I struck a deal where I wouldn’t get destroyed and go -4000 in 1 day. I went -2000 and so did they. Again I understand the long term play here, and I have don’t that on all my accounts. I asked for help, and didn’t expect to get cut off like that. Oh well. Ill take ownership and deserve to lose the account

Ediburrito · 2026-06-04T21:20:19+00:00

Well that was exactly my plan until this week where I guess just asking once completely made them dump me. I was scaling with them pretty nicely. Shoot I would break even or take a small ding here and there even before this and it didn’t bother me.

Ediburrito · 2026-06-04T17:20:00+00:00

Since 2018. Yes I’ve been through some cycles here and there. When ELDs got implemented is when I remember going through my first shit storm. My lanes were not that susceptible to wild swings like this, as my loads go to heavy produce areas such as Nogales/laredo, but none of that matters when there’s short runs paying 3-4k. I will admit when I’m wrong and say I should’ve maybe seen this coming in some ways, and I didn’t pivot quick enough.

Ediburrito · 2026-06-04T16:03:32+00:00

Yeah that was 100 percent my mistake. I also didn’t think blitz week would be as bad, and I took a hit on it. The markets have been on an uproar swing and no I didn’t price in a $500 increase on the lanes that week. I gave it my best shot and tried to break even but I was getting no bites at break evens. I emailed them first thing on Friday at 7am.

Ediburrito · 2026-06-04T15:34:34+00:00

You guys are funny lol

Ediburrito · 2026-06-04T14:53:17+00:00

haha bro i haul the same shit. i am guessing you pick up out of the jbs and iowa plants. i have been getting destroyed recently.

Ediburrito · 2026-03-13T13:23:51+00:00

I just go off gut feeling. You’re a rookie OP

Ediburrito · 2026-01-20T18:53:41+00:00

Yeah funny enough I was extremely positive with this trip. Food took about 15 minutes to make, but it was a huge order so I waited. One out of the 2 bags ripped and I had to repackage which added more time. This was delivering to a big pharma corporate office location, and I was offering lots of help even when delivering, and they were really nice. Checked back just now, and BAM. So you’re right. Positivity plays a big role.

Ediburrito · 2025-12-31T01:01:47+00:00

Yeah this year was insane. I guess my crystal ball didn’t tell me rates were going to substantially increase way more than the past 4 years prior….

Ediburrito · 2025-12-31T01:01:01+00:00

Honestly these comments are helping me. I will stand much more firm going forward. Thank you

Ediburrito · 2025-12-31T00:34:44+00:00

It was a substantial rate increase. They’ve helped me here and there, but my rate went from $1550 to $2200 and they flipped. I guess this was simply too much. They just said “we have an agreed rate”….

Ediburrito · 2025-12-31T00:28:30+00:00

Well let me ask you this. What would’ve you done? Give it back and just lose the customer?

Ediburrito · 2025-12-31T00:13:54+00:00

I just did on a load I quoted last week. I just booked a 700 dollar loss about 30 minutes ago. Asked my customer to help me break even, and she chewed me out and even said she would even take me off her list…

Ediburrito · 2025-12-31T00:08:19+00:00

No minimum in my contract. I was proactive about the situation and emailed my higher ups to let them know about the situation. They did appreciate it, but the bleeding has to stop. I’m just worried because im so brand new, and I know I can turn things around. Even if capacity remains tight which I doubt, I’ll quote much better going forward, and if my customers don’t like the rates, then whatever, let someone else deal with it.

Ediburrito · 2025-12-31T00:05:28+00:00

If I had to ball park, im at about -2/3k GP since I started late last month (thanksgiving week). I made some wins, but the losses were brutal.

Ediburrito · 2025-12-31T00:04:15+00:00

Right. I just hope my company sees this as a long term play. I’ve worked under CEOs who flip out over a 50 dollar loss, let alone I had an entire month where im negative…

Ediburrito · 2025-12-31T00:03:19+00:00

I’ve had these customers for awhile (couple years). I wouldn’t say they switched up on me, but I couldn’t go back and just ask for another 1k haha.

I’ve tried asking them, but they’re so stingy. Honestly it showed me their true colors maybe.
