@TexasThilverback4 жыл бұрын
Megas just have more consistent freight, they (IMO) had their sales force pick up all the freight on the spot market along with whatever contracts are still being honored in this slow shipping time. However, they're moving it for a ridiculously low price that O/O can't afford to run at.

Sorry, bud its never slow this game is a three-way street "Fleet/Dispatcher/Driver "Company/Broker/Driver" if your old school and can run you will get paid. Unfortunately, you've got to break the barrier if that's the case because 80% of the drivers on the road are self-centered ass holes that don't even bother getting in the right lane knowing they're 65mph "Bottlenecker"... Quick reminder I 70 I =I 66 I= I 62 I. If you call in one day you already fucked yourself, why you ask that dispatcher relies on you to make them money. It's not all about you. As a real driver, I do it for everyone because not many people can. Welcome to trucking P.S they really are making that money "No HOS". AK if you end up reading this put your balls on the table and run that truck that ELD is Voided for you lmao. I would have left tablet on the floor LMFAO "Outlaw Trucking"

There has got to be a way for them to fix it ASAP. They should understand that you just can't have it disassembled,then wait for God knows how long for them to do what ever they have to. Keep your head up,times have to get better. And I Pray it's sooner than later.
