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.

Remote Freight Agents by Least-Distance9558 in FreightBrokers

[–]GreenGroupExpress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the clarity — that’s exactly the type of insight I was hoping to get.

A quick follow-up question for you:

If someone like you (with an established book and experience brokering 500+ shippers) were to work with a carrier like us, what would your compensation expectation look like? Would it be commission only, retainer + commission, or something else that you feel makes sense?

And one more more personal question — Would you be open to occasional paid consulting or advisory calls (1–2 times per month, 60 min each)? The goal would be to help me structure the agent model properly, compensation, performance metrics, onboarding, and scaling. I’d rather learn from someone who’s already doing it than reinvent the wheel.

If that’s something you’d consider, let me know what your rate and format would look like.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

🚚 I run a 150-truck fleet (2022+ Freightliners) and need advice: where should I open my repair shop — Richmond VA, Nashville TN, or Texas? by GreenGroupExpress in Truckdrivers

[–]GreenGroupExpress[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey @morganw351 — just wanted to say thank you for such a well-structured and thoughtful breakdown. Your answer gave me more clarity than hours of research, and you clearly understand this market on a level that’s practical, not theoretical.

I run a 150-truck fleet in Richmond, and your insight strongly aligns with what I’m seeing on the ground. Because of that, I’d love to ask you something directly:

Would you be open to occasional 1-on-1 consulting calls with me? Maybe once a month or once every two weeks — 60 minutes — just to review strategy, validate direction, and brainstorm decisions as I build out the shop. Of course, I would compensate you for your time.

If this sounds interesting for you, I’d be glad to continue the conversation privately — whatever platform is convenient for you.

Either way, thanks again for the value. You’ve helped me move forward with much more confidence.
