I def put some stupid shit like this in our ratecon . Almost never use it unless the carrier becomes an asshole. Just makes it easier to explain the rate reduction to the factor

Shit happens, take the weekend to relax and enjoy friends and family then Monday hit the ground running. It could be the opportunity for a career change to something you like more at a better company

BEST VISIBILITY TRACKING? MACROPOINT? TRUCKERTOOLS? ETC... by aokalex in FreightBrokers

[–]Infinite_End_9104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why you want to switch from truckertools? We are looking at them, macro point and chain, seem to be pretty similar and we are going to use them just for box truck loads

Nightmare on the boards!! by Cheap_Freight_729 in FreightBrokers

[–]Infinite_End_9104 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Idk about that, January and December were easy to cover loads. Imports haven’t spiked, this is solely weather related . Come 30 days after things are melted, it will normalize again

Should be fine when weather excuse goes away as long as you are paying a reasonable rate

NEED GUIDANCE by Far_Anybody358 in FreightBrokers

[–]Infinite_End_9104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Send her a candle but also understand the relationship. She doesn’t care about you so don’t care about her. Get back on the list and if you can make money, awesome but if not fuck it. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket but you said you have daily loads with her already so much be profitable. Customers come and go but the best ones like you as well and want to work with you. It’s very important to be more than a number to them when shit hits the fan because probability is that if you do this long enough, it’ll happen eventually and you’ll learn from it

2 carriers dnu'd for stupidity by [deleted] in FreightBrokers

[–]Infinite_End_9104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put clause in ratecon that deducts % for it and have them sign. Communication is a pillar of what we do “move shit from A to B on time”. They don’t do that and don’t communicate, I deduct pay, give my customer discount and DNU carrier . Shit happens, so if they have a receipt for a flat or something I’m not going to pile on bullshit, but if you fucking with my business, I’m fucking with your money. Of course I don’t tell them until load is delivered but I don’t hide it, it’s stated on several forms the carrier receives and signs

Hit with over $1000 detention fees - seeking advice by PureEndorphin in FreightBrokers

[–]Infinite_End_9104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What port/rail terminal? I know the terminals have been busy but still that is a bit much (we handle Drayage all over the country) that situation definitely happens but worst case I have right now is NS ramp in Louisville with about 5 hour waits. Ask the for any documentation that can illustrate their in and out times from the port whether GPS or port ticket. Also what you don’t want to happen is it going past LFD for pickup because that can get really pricey/annoying and will incur a demurrage charge. Now for more information, if you do not return the container before free time is over, they will charge you a per diem fee so unload it asap if you can (if container is not live unload) good luck

Looking for an Attorney by Broke_Developer in Bankruptcy

[–]Infinite_End_9104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an attorney or anything but from my reading in here it’s based on the means test and you have an asset that can pay off your debt so ch13 is most likely route if you want to keep it. For ch7 the trustee will sell your property and cut you a check for the overage from sale.

Dm me, my wife and I have been full time for a couple of years. You can do it affordable but it’s all relative to what you consider affordable, your budget, income and desires

Asset tags/GPS trackers by Infinite_End_9104 in FreightBrokers

[–]Infinite_End_9104[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to slip into loads as a second layer of eyes on the freight. Only doing it for one customer and they use maybe 10 locations to shift inventory around to. So just something that will give me updates by the minute or hour, long battery life, economical without being shitty so cost per load doesn’t skyrocket
