John, Buddy, Brush up on your marketing skills. I also submit that you need to raise your self esteem. You are worth $3-4 per mile and more. If your not hauling for at least $2.5 your going broke and just haven't gotten there yet.
I won't fire up my 05 pete for less that $3. I just hauled from Houston to Miami for $5/mile. That's not the norm but I get at least 6-7 of those type loads per year. The brokers charge their clients $3-5.00 then screw the truckers telling them they have to run for $1.5/mile.CHRobinson is the worst in that respect.
This is a free market and I can't make anybody call me. I provide a very high level of service and my clients gladly pay what I ask.
Now don't get all upset with me, call me @ 281-831-5331 and I'll tell you how I do it.
