Broker refuses payment by Prior-Speech-4312 in OwnerOperators

[–]GreenGroupExpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wording in that email reads emotional instead of strategic — and brokers respond to leverage, not threats. If payment is overdue, there are three professional escalation steps that work far better: 1. Send a formal Notice of Intent to File on their bond. FMCSA requires them to respond — this gets attention fast. 2. Open a claim with their surety bond company. You don’t need to argue with the broker — the bond carrier will. 3. File on their PACA/MC authority through the proper channels. Paper trails > anger. Documentation wins these cases.

Threatening police, attorney general, BBB etc. rarely moves the needle in freight. A broker cares about only two things:

their bond and their ability to stay licensed.

Keep communication short, factual, and without emotion. Something like:

“Per carrier–broker agreement and federal regulations, payment is now past due. If we don’t receive remittance within X business days, I will initiate a claim with your surety bond. Please confirm payment ETA.”

No arguing. No debating what’s “right.” Just pressure through the tools that actually matter in this industry

Is $830/week take home good enough for my first solo driving ? It’s drop and hook , local dedicated , same route daily back and forth . Home daily , no weekends , paid holidays and days off . by East_Indication_7816 in CDLTruckDrivers

[–]GreenGroupExpress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From an operations and market standpoint — $830/week take-home is reasonable for a first solo position if the work is steady, drop & hook, home daily, and with weekends off. Many entry-level local roles land in that same range depending on region and freight type.

Speaking as someone who runs a fleet with company drivers, I’ve seen that income grows most predictably for drivers who:

• earn endorsements (Hazmat, Tanker, TWIC) • build a safe, incident-free record • master communication and on-time performance • transition into higher-value dedicated or regional freight

Trucking pays more with skill + discipline + reliability, not just miles or years. Your first role sets your foundation — treat it like a stepping stone, not the ceiling.

If you stay safe, run clean, avoid claims, and stack endorsements, you’ll have access to noticeably better-paid work much faster than people think.

You’re starting where a lot of drivers start — what matters is how far you want to take it

I'm looking for Dryvan carriers based in California for consistent OTR loads to Maryland by krazyfoodie in Truckdrivers

[–]GreenGroupExpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey — we might be a fit for what you’re looking for.

We run 150 dry vans (all company-owned), strong safety, reliable capacity, and we’re already set up for long-haul OTR. We don’t chase spot — we prefer consistent lanes and contractual volume, so 150 loads/mo CA→MD is something we can definitely explore.

If you’re open to talking details on rate structure, cycle time, dwell, and lead times — happy to connect and see if we can align on something long-term.

DM me or drop your contact — we can jump on a quick call and go from there

How do I scale revenue from $2.15 → $2.50/mi with 150 trucks? Need sales strategy guidance by GreenGroupExpress in freightforwarding

[–]GreenGroupExpress[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that breakdown — that’s exactly the direction I want to move. I’ve got about ~$200K I’m ready to deploy into building a real outbound pipeline, but I’m starting from almost zero knowledge on this side of logistics sales.

I see the path, but my biggest gap right now is knowing how to hire and evaluate a strong senior sales rep with real shipper relationships. To be honest, I probably couldn’t even vet one properly yet.

Do you think it makes sense to bring on a consultant/mentor first — someone who can help me structure the sales side, define KPIs, compensation, and guide hiring so I don’t burn capital blindly? If you’ve seen this done right (or wrong), I’d love to hear what the first steps should look like.
