haha! great shot there sir krazzytrukker! hey what does that shirt say and what's the bottle?
Sorry to hear about no load, now what?

Shirt says...: "Castaway Island" (please don't send help)

Bottle is "wrecked pilsner"

There will be many loads in El Paso monday. Maybe even later today or sunday a few.

haha! great meme! Ok so the plan is just keep checking for a load that pays good and it might not happen until Monday? is it normal to wait 2 days for a load?

Not Normal at all, but that is where i find myself sometimes. I could stay moving all the time if i run cheap.

But you nailed it when you said, watching for a good load. There is one over there i could pick up right now for 1.69 a mile.

My cutoff is 2 bucks a mile. But i will go a little cheaper if it is light and goes someplace good.

haha! sir krazzytrukker! who are these dispatchers?

On the rates, you calculate the price or the pay by the mile?

You gotta cover operating costs + profit to cover fixed costs like mortgage, utilities, etc. Mine were 1.22 per mile to truck last time i ran em. They change slightly everyday. Mostly fuel price effects it up or down. Everything else mostly up.

Load pays a linehaul. Breaks down to per mile on distance away.

Dispatcher is evil deamon on the phone. Companies recruit them straight from the depths of HELL.......

Guess you know how i feel about them.....? The noobs call em "Driver Managers" now since the term dispatcher has become synonamous with bodily excrement...... lol

I deal with freight brokers. They do not "manage" me......

I am aloud to tell them no.....

Some of them are loke used car salesmen. Liars & thieves. I usually only work with the ones i have come 2 know over the years.

Here is a baby picture of a "Dispatcher"

haha! oh my gosh, that sucks. Well, but you have found a couple that you can trust but ...well, I don't know how it works. You call whatever dispatcher is listed on an order or can you go through the ones you trust?

Listed one with that load. Sometimes they trip over each other to see who can post it for less money.

Yes LESS..... ya think they would try for more, but the freight brokers(glorified dispatchers) all crawl up the Ass of the shippers trying to get them to give them more loads by low balling the truckers.
