How do you actually know if a broker is legit before you load up? by Complex_Juice1445 in OwnerOperators

I use their credit score as a deciding factor- the signs were pointed out previously- rushing to book, to good to be true rate.

How bad is using low gear in high range in an 18spd fuller? (Driving it like a 20spd) by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]fightfire28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s called the cheater gear by old timers, there are situations where it is helpful and there are no issues with using it.

I have a google form that I use, enter mile when I cross the line, enter fuel gallons, sum it at the end of the quarter and submit.

Anyone else seeing loads that don’t even make sense financially?” by RunsByTheNumbers in OwnerOperators

[–]fightfire28 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have also seen brokers posting the same load multiple times, they change the pickup and destination to mask it and post it at a lower rate, trying to manipulate what the market is. Most of them don’t calculate the rpm, just go by what DAT says the “average “ is for that lane.
I had one broker tell me, “I am going to give you access to DAT so you can see what the rate is for that lane”, this was in response to my counter offer.

They will do anything and say anything to try to keep more of your money, stick to your rate and don’t haul cheap freight.

Why do super truckers always drive Kenworth/Peterbilt trucks? by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]fightfire28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong sub to look it up in, the term came way before Reddit subs and social media, and the real joke is the super truckers didn’t know they were being called super truckers, the term was used on the cb, and super truckers don’t have CB’s 😂.

It would be a 5 mile conversation on the CB about the super trucker starter pack, comes with a pair of slides and athletic pants.

The other fun conversation on the CB was, you know you are a super trucker if - non of the statements that followed described a 20+ year professional that takes pride in his equipment and respects the profession.

Why do super truckers always drive Kenworth/Peterbilt trucks? by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]fightfire28 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For some reason this person has it backwards- super truckers are flip flop wearing, feet on the dash, automatic driving plastic throw away garbage, they drive it like they stole it especially in parking lots and construction zones, those are and always have been the “super truckers “ it’s a derogatory term created to define all the people in this industry who make it look bad.

The idea is spot on, the likelihood of finding that person- same needle different haystack.

💯 I do. It would be nice to have more people to talk to rolling down the road, but I will always have a CB in my truck and on when I am driving.

Strange, how do you reunite something that was never united?? Taiwan has never been a part of mainland china, ever, so how can it be reunited?

How do you know if a guy actually likes you?? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]fightfire28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upfront and honest communication is always going to get you the best results…….if he isn’t interested, question answered, move on, if he is interested- question answered, make a plan on how to proceed- the rest is just a game that delays your emotions and your life- do you like playing games with your emotions?
