Does the 8AM for receiver typically mean there isn't an appointment set yet? My last company just used 00:01. I noticed one load picked up by 3PM and delivers 8AM next day but was like 970 miles. They have teams?
No it’s just a default setting 99.9% of the time….the agent will go over pick up a delivery hrs and set appointments for you if they are needed or tell you the appointment time if there is one when you call on the load and YOU have to agree to it B4 you book the load
@@1kwilliam-rv1mo im still there just not lease purchase im under a owner op and he has conostoga lol however u spell it but i pick up bars n coils i love it
I’ll put Lexington in the next video , I think I’m gonna do a little load board look around the country on every money and News video coming up, so stay tuned
Also whats some other apps i can download with loadboard that CRST drivers can use in case nothing on our load board i been using Direct freight but alot brokerd dont use us on there
DAT, Truck stop, 123….. but call the agents in the area that you’re not finding loads first. Also see if our agent can get the load you see on the spot market, brokers are always your last option. Remember, only two out of 10 owner operators make it 2 years and right now that number is going down see how many of the five of you that made it are still around in six months…
Not really, I actually make more money in the winter because most guys are afraid of the snow. Therefore, the rates go up if you’re running into areas that snow a lot like I do, know if you want to take refuge in the southern states to get out of that then yes the rates will, and always do drop in the winter but the work stays pretty surly believe it or not.
I’ve been looking into it, I saw you had some in Ohio there, how is the freight around West Virginia? I’ve heard it used to be good there at least around the wv area
I know you do not run the NE much but do you happen to see any good loads that way ??? I’m looking for. Truck to sighn on with y’all !! Also I’m looking to go step deck what your recommendation on that or better to stay flatbed??
Oklahoma is not a great flatbed area, there’s always stuff going there but not much coming out so if you’re based out of Oklahoma, you’re gonna want to get out and stay out for a couple weeks trying, to return every weekend probably wouldn’t be a profitable business model
Our agents get the most they can from the customers, the more they get you the more they make because they’re paid 7% of the 25% you give up, they’re not brokers that are trying to steal from you. You can ask for more, but they have to go to the customer and see if they’ll pay more and most of the time that’s a no and or it’s already a contracted rate with that shipper
@@sturgelltruckingllc4074 I will like to know how a new driver can owner operator right after training and orientation and all the good stuff that's comes with it
@@amadouasulleyman4491 ok, or somebody just starting their career? Or somebody that’s been a driver for a few years and wants to become an owner operator?
Texas is a bad place for a flatbed, plenty of loads, going there just hard to get out of Texas. There is some work if you don’t mind staying in the state of Texas though
@@Truccinwithlumberjacc I really can’t answer that, to many variables work ethic, what you haul, how often you go home etc…. Plus I seldom run Texas so I don’t have a good idea of rates there other than they’re much lower than the steel belt…
Lexington looking great this evening. It always does it’s right in the triangle within striking range of southern Ohio and Indianapolis. No worries getting in and out of there ever.
It’s on the list for the next money, news and load board video. Make sure you subscribe and hit the bell so you don’t miss it. I generally load them Sunday evening.

HI, THANKS FOR THE INFO, HOW IS FLATBED IN THE WINTER, ITS TOO SLOW?
Not really, I actually make more money in the winter because most guys are afraid of the snow.

That not bad for being so late in the evening.
I’ve been looking into it, I saw you had some in Ohio there, how is the freight around West Virginia? I’ve heard it used to be good there at least around the wv area
Both good areas
I know you do not run the NE much but do you happen to see any good loads that way ??? I’m looking for. Truck to sighn on with y’all !! Also I’m looking to go step deck what your recommendation on that or better to stay flatbed??
Lots of good paying loads going up there but Sometimes you gotta go a ways to get something to get out of there though.
@@sturgelltruckingllc4074 10-4 appreciate all your feed back !!! I seen ya last week in Ohio I believe 70 east hope to one day catch up with ya
How is freight in and out of Oklahoma?
Oklahoma is not a great flatbed area, there’s always stuff going there but not much coming out so if you’re based out of Oklahoma, you’re gonna want to get out and stay out for a couple weeks trying, to return every weekend probably wouldn’t be a profitable business model
Is that your settlement or truck payment coming of that , also can you explain me how you do it for vacation time , thanks
I don’t have a truck payment…. I take vacation whenever I feel like it

Are you able to negotiate the posted rate?
