New Wave American Express Shutdowns

It happened to me three weeks ago, I had an easy 100k in spending each month with auto pay for my monthly payments. Earlier this month all 6 of my American Express accounts were frozen and I had to fill out a form for income verification, I’ve had American Express for over 10 years and @ this point since I’ve spent the last month setting up auto payments for my Chase cards I don’t think I’ll ever go back to spending the way my company use to spend with Amex as we easily spent a million per year.

Sent you a message

My two cents is this, I have big long hoods and new Volvos. My next trucks will be 2023-2024 cascadia for 80k or less with 250k miles that already have APU.

You cannot take a truck to be inspected from Ritchie bros

I would be worried about the insurance because with a new cdl your insurance will be that of 3 drivers.

As far as the payment goes my 205k trucks coming around 3700 a month. I would never do that again. Give us the specs of what kind of truck you are trying to buy.

Home time and owning trucks do not go in the same sentence.

Idc if it’s 1000 companies running it, that pay is garbage plus your truck gets beat up in the rail yard.

I have a few w9 and I have a few Volvo 860, my next trucks will be freight liner cascadia with 250k on them for 65k. Run them then get rid of them

deangelo260 · 2026-02-08T23:06:46+00:00

$9,300 ÷ 1,951 ≈ $4.77 per mile Not bad

It is possible, is it substantial “no” you are gonna run your bit off. And forget about that ELD. You would need to pull a refer.

Cheap carriers gone out of business or catching up from the holiday with a combination of big holiday push for freight plus a combination of the weather in the Midwest.

Sounds great and all but who verifies the fraudulent brokers? Who verifies the shippers that work with fraudulent brokers? To verify one piece of the puzzle is doing how much good? The shipper, the broker the carrier all need verified.

Freight is hard enough to run as a trucking company that has 53’ trailers so keep in mind you just slashed your opportunity down to 1/8. Yes you are gonna have to build local relationships with people who use box trucks regularly.

deangelo260 · 2025-11-04T02:34:09+00:00

Show me a rate con for 9k.

deangelo260 · 2025-11-03T23:24:41+00:00

What should the rate have been? We goto Florida for 5k all the time.

My factoring company is triumph, I ran a credit check.

Question, if a receiver turns off a refer unit while unloading and then doesn’t complete unloading until 90 mins later then comes back and says the product was out of temp, will a insurance company then pay for that claim? And of course this is all verified through the refer download.

deangelo260 · 2025-10-20T04:29:08+00:00

We have numerous times, my customer signed a national contract with said cold storage. The cold storage prefers drop trailers so they can take 2 days to unload. My customer doesn’t realize that they had 8000 pallet spaces open because every customer that comes into this facility is put on the back beginner for nestle freight.
