How much goes to the O/O
I am really hearing some mixed messages on the rate side of things. I hear some of my O/O talk about barely getting $2 a mile on a flatbed load but on the other end, seems noone wants to move for less than $3 a mile. I try to stay in the fair range being in the lumber industry. I can't always give the best rates but those that pull for me know I will try to get them better paying load the next time. As a traffic manager, it is sometimes hard to explain that my hands are tied in most cases since the rates are st by the salesman who sold the load cheap to get the sale and figures they can make it up in shipping. So I am just stuck being a woman that is starting to not handle rejection well. lol
