I feel like AI could and will soon if not already be able to analyze all these metrics in real time with all factors considered, weather, road conditions, driver preference ect.. in real time within 1 second of the posting. And that should put the money back into the drivers hands or even go back to federally regulated freight pricing. Even have AI write the programming for it to do that. idk

I would not recommend getting into the business for the sole purpose of pulling just Relay loads. Relay is good to have in your back pocket, but in general, you will find more profitable loads on other boards.

This is a really good opportunity, especially if they hire people who are newly licensed. I’ve done extensive research with driving companies. A lot of them do not pay well and you are working by how many miles you drive and that’s not even accurate because many transportation companies give you miles based on ZIP Code to zip code rather than actual miles driven. If you can find a good job that pays well by he hour and you don’t have to be over the road for weeks at a time this is a great opportunity. For people saying that truck drivers should make 1000 a week it all depends on experience you will not make that starting out unless you do something like food service, which is severely backbreaking work because you have to manually unload all that freight with a two wheeler It’s very important to do your own research and not just listen to what people tell you. Many people are misinformed and believe erroneous stuff instead of actually taking the time to learn about the trucking industry. This is a good, he a good job explaining this program . Research employers before taking jobs and know what questions to ask so that you understand exactly what you’re getting into.

Diff between carrier and driver. Trying to help friend who downloaded app, but its in spanish. Fig out if he chose spanish app or where in the app it switched to spanish. Anyway, I clicked your vid b/c it said Owner Op. Your vid showing login req for carrier? DOT and MC. Do Drivers only need Dot and MC? Is their other areas in web login to pick driver log in?

@TruckingTopicsTodayАй бұрын
Hopefully only those that can afford to, and absolutely need to. I can afford to take loads in the $1.20’s, but I only do it to get out of, or into, a situation. Doesn’t mean I want to, or that it’s my first choice. This is why knowing your per mile expenses, both variable and fixed, is important.

@TruckingTopicsToday2 ай бұрын
Depends on your particular business. In my case, it’s my break even point for what I need to pay my bills, including the variable expenses the trip would cost. The only time I take a load close to my break even point is to get home, or D/H into an area for a better paying load.

@markb9347 I have a particular amount that I pay myself every month. It is part of the $1.17. Anything over $1.17 a mile in my case is extra. No truck payment, and insurance is also low due to no tickets/accidents for the past 40 years.

ok i never did power only but just thinking about how fe loads is available just because you get a good rate to the destination and its barely good the issue is nit a lot of loads from that location so if i get a PO to a part of texas only going 2.60 a mile at 1100 for 423mi and the next load is 130miles away now that's 1.98 per mile majority of the loads are less then 2.20 a mile so no it wouldn't be worth it unless you just like driving all around to make ends meet it isn't enough loads to make it with while

I apologize for the tardy reply. Try the following: search for Van loads (V) and Specialized Vans (S) together, at the same time. Also, put a length of 10 feet and max weight of 5,000. Search for both full/partial loads. Let me know if that works for you.
