Booking Loads, Chatting With Brokers, and The Problem With Our Stepdeck Trailer 

I enjoy watching your calmness and firm determination on the price you want and don’t take there crappy loads

I love this. You're showing us how to negotiate with the A$$holes.

I laughed when your ring chime went off, I thought it was mine!! Thank you for making these videos and sharing your learning experiences….they’re very helpful for those who take the time to listen and learn! 😊

Stopping by to support the channel. Have a great weekend.

I am addicted to this channel. Keep it coming sister!

Love the video, keep on pushing 💪💪

These videos are great. Thanks.

I have also made mistakes since the "panic" mode is activated before the weekend's approach. I can totally feel what you went through.

Brokers should be calling carriers for pricing not the other way around. But when you take a look at truckers and notice they wear sandals while fueling, it's pretty much game over! SMH

Thank you for the information.

Appreciate this inside look at negotiating. My ex-girlfriend was running a trucking company out of Los Angeles, she was also a driver. Learn a lot by watching people negotiate!

Love how you operate 👍

Hi Miranda, as I wrote during one of the live the only step deck that make sense for o/o micro fleets is a 53' lo pro, tri axle with double lift, ca legal with 3rd axle up, ramps, load levelers, coil pack, strobe lights, all alu with nailer boards. Carry a spare tire with you, they're not always easy to find and thus expensive. A brand new one right now runs for 90k ish on truckpaper. You can load up to 10'6" high and still be legal. Don't shy away from overdimensional loads though, that's where the money is, even in this market. Get 40ft straps, plenty of OD crates coming out of ports of Long Beach, Longview, Seattle, Everett. That's easy money.

Watching your videos has helped our team booking freight they all watch the videos

I love her rawness and transparency. Most ppl charge out the kazoo for these type of insights.

Your so good little M!!!! 💯💯

I always take into account oregon mileage tax when booking or loads You can add ramps to any stepdeck they may have to weld a brack though

you bring up a good point with weekend loads. I've always had a feeling brokers strategize something you might feel is appealing and will hold over the weekend without issue, but they are getting you to hold it for free essentially. I've had loads like that, but it's only when I have a load going home. I park at home and a few days later it's just takes a few hours to unload monday morning and I'm back on break.

2.50per mile is about it. I cal it the ramen noodle market.

Patients is everything. I waited 3 days in FL to get a good rate out

Hello Miranda, I really like your contents learning a lot from you thank you. May I know what what type of calculator are you using to get the quote that quick for customers?

Miranda, stepdeck is far not same as flatbed. Surprised homework wasn’t done before jumping into it. Ramps alone cost 7,000$, levelers around 3,500$.

They sell ramps that come with mounting brackets for a sd

Perfect

Yep im on a van and i lost Friday and lost the weekend

Hi. Do you do classes on how to apply for a MC# and what it takes to start a business getting a truck on the road

I have been watching your videos, which are very helpful. We are looking to begin to work under another DOT authority. We plan to do transport with our pickup. Any suggestions anyone? We are located in Ga if that helps

Thanks for the information. I like your Mother In Laws Tongue Plant (Snake Plant)

Would love see you booking reefer loads.

Great job sticking to your guns Miranda.❤

Booked a flatbed load on Friday at 3pm for a Saturday pickup from Portland to San Diego for 4K . When they get desperate wallets open up

All in!! Ha Ha!!

As a driver who has the expenses, there's a misconception with deadhead calculations. Especially in this environment. It's not only the miles it destroys HOS. 30+% of time lost = loss of revenue. It's a calculation you, industry, has used to manipulate the driver. So wouldn't it be more advisable to figure out how to reduce the deadhead. Also, give the driver more assistance while looking, working on it. Most major hubs will also adversely affect deadhead. Mistake? I'm paid % of load, not by miles

Does this patch call me every day like 6 times a day when they sound like that i just hangup

Where you get load from ! What platform

why don't you start calling local businesses? I start cold calling businesses asking if they got any freight they need hauled. This does two things for me, maybe I get a load, but even better, it gains me future customers in a bad area. :). I hardly use load boards these days. I get so many load list from doing all the cold calling.

Please im a new business tow truck one im trying to make my dot , but i dnt understand this question Will any of this property get transported in vehicles >= 10,000 pounds ? Is it only the truck that has to weight less than 10,000 or is with cargo on top of the tow truck ?? Please answer

I won't even put my step near the west

NOOA calling all Truck Drivers, Owner-Operators, and Small Carrier's STRIKE and SHUTDOWN Nation Wide 11/02/2023 tell we get Transparency Enforcement and Broker Reform.

How soon do you start looking for & booking a backhaul?

Hi Miranda! May I asked if there were any penalties for turning your step deck in early? Where would you recommend renting one from. It's been hard to find!

How hard are you about running your logs and company's running double logs?

ET transport just exposed in their last videos that your break even point should always be 2:25. We should charge 2:25 on top of that for a total of 4:50 per mile. Let's get a nationwide push. Every one start pushing these brokers with no overhead making 2k per load.

Hi

Please do one for reefers. I want to venture into that sector

How we stop the Broker working?

Hi Miranda what is the cost of renting the trailer?

Please explain and elaborate on why you have a minimum $3k for the weekend?

pretty sure that's a very bad rate for a flatbed trailer? Dry van is around that rate right now...

Did you post your trucks

Actually… you are super human.

👍👍👍👍

What do you think of morbex automation

You on the dat board?

48k on a 53 step wow it must be all aluminum

Correct me if I am wrong. Most truckers are either Dry van or Reefer. Very few are flat bed. I have noticed, you concentrate on flat bed. Can I ask why. Is it because you are in that business and it is convenient for you or I am wrong with the assumption that most truckers are in Dry Van or Reefer. I am just doing my research in trucking business so I can be wrong.

I get 10 calls a day from those scum bags

👏👏🇮🇳🇮🇳🇨🇦🇨🇦👏👏

OOn

Best friend you are super human 😂😂😂
