We learned in sales training ‘whoever talks first loses’ and NEVER ask ‘yes/no’ questions. Applied to trucking, a good way to help get your rate is to NEVER ask what they are paying or what the rate is, you just lost by putting the other guy in control and they can hold whatever rate because of it. When you respond with ‘that’s to low’ or ‘I need $xxx’ it can come across as argumentative. No one wants to be insulted are argued with :( Instead, try asking ‘What’s your target rate?’ or ‘What are you looking to get it moved for today?’. That let’s them know that you know there’s room to negotiate the rate. When the broker replies with $XXX, you can simply state ‘That’s a little light, what can we do to get closer to $ or ‘We’re gonna need to be at/around $X. What can we do to make that work today?’. This makes THEM answer with a solution on how to make your rate work… not you trying to convince them. Let them solve the problem for you. Have a conversation, not a debate.
The people that are saying ‘you take too long to book a load’ are part of the problem. They are obviously jumping on the first crap load because ‘gotta go gotta go!’. Thus, the brokers know ‘we’re getting it covered for that’, because the aforementioned idiots are stumbling over themselves on a race to the bottom. NEVER rush to take a load. Let the brokers sit on it for a while and contemplate their own rates. Fitzmark told me yesterday ‘That’s all the shipper wants to pay’, of which I responded, ‘No, that’s all YOU want to pay, you’re still getting your same cut’. Push back on these people, let’em know you know. For the love of Gawd, STOP TAKING THE FIRST LOAD OF CHEAP CRAP YOU FIND!!!!!
Oh yea, this shows what it’s REALLY like to own and run a small business. Thanks Miranda for sharing this behind the scenes look at booking loads. Really interesting.
Interesting video Maranda. Several things I must comment on. 1) as you know, the really good loads Do Not stay on the load board for long, they get snatched up quickly. 2) The same load is often posted multiple times by different brokers, giving the "illusion" that there is more freight available than what actually is. 3) there's really only a few reasons a broker is calling you to look for a truck, low pay or unreasonable expectations. For this reason, I've never posted my truck as available. Saves me being bothered by all the bottom feeders. 3) I often find myself saying NO to haul loads a lot more often than I say yes. 4) Brokers frequently throw out very low ball offers. Likewise, I always throw out insanely high offers. Remember, while they can always can come up from their bottom, once I establish my bottom price, then it's difficult to rise from that, whereas if I establish my bottom price in the clouds, then I can come down to reality. 5) hesitation in negotiation is a good thing. Do Not be too quick to agree to terms. 6) And finally, I always start every negotiation with these words, "Ok Mr/Mrs broker, your job is to get this load moved for as little as possible. My job is to get this load moved for as as much as possible. Regardless of whether or not we can do a deal, we can at least be friends. Build relationships with your brokers. In so doing, the brokers remember you and guess what, when the really good loads come, often I've had brokers I've known for many years call me with a load offer before it hits the board. A broker would rather give a load to a driver they've worked with in the past that they know will do a good job. In closing, here's an excellent illustration. While on vacation one winter, I was sitting on the sundeck of a cruise ship that was anchored off the Cayman Islands when my phone rang. Kim, a Broker I'd worked with for many years, called me. After a few pleasantries she offered me a good paying load for the following week and I booked it. After hanging up the phone I sat there in the sun enjoying my peaceful vacation thinking to myself it's good to have people looking out for you. DO NOT fear guys and gals, the freight market is definitely in a "winter" right now, however there will be sunshine in our future. God Bless
Relationships are definitely key. My wife had been doing my dispatching and she was able to make a few friends. One in was very nice and offered alot of very good loads. Always gave us first options with loads. Always offered to find us load's and I would have continued working with him but I shut my company down till things get better.
Thank you so much for sharing those phone calls live. As with all of your other videos, this one was tremendously informative. If more businesses were as selective and prudent as you are, perhaps prices would not be so lousy. You are awesome.!
I am an O/O and book all my own loads, I own a reefer and a flatbed for market flexibility. My reefer is also parked for now due to bottom $ rates and my flatbed does not move unless I get minimum of $1100-$1200 + a day, even on the short hauls. You are absolutley correct becuase as we know the broker may say quick load and unload but how many times have you reached a shipper and they take hours to load you, or get to the reciever and they are not there or not able to unload till the next morning. This is good content Miranda, although I handle my calls similarly its always interestesting to see other proffessionals in business, please consider doing more of these types of informational videos in the future. Also, I have quit taking TQL loads too!
Yesterday, after loading jumbo ingots of a steel, I was tired and showed disrespect to it while securing them with straps only, and as a pre-punishment steel moved towards my cab about 10 inch at the first 6% downhill. I was lucky that I’ve spotted it immediately and did emergency stop so it didn’t ended up inside my cab. After that I’ve chained them properly. So guys, always respect your load by giving it a right securement.
Its annoying when brokers say “this has been moving for “cheap rate”. We dont care. We know how much it should be paying, just cause the average driver takes shit pay, doesnt mean everyone will.
Man I hope more people see this. This us EXACTLY what you have to do to get a decant rate $2.75-$3 for all miles $1,000-$1500 per day). Yes taking your time will bite you but more more often than not it’ll work out.
This video was very helpful. As a former truck driver for the past 6 years and now new to dispatching, you've really cleared up a lot of the questions and concerns I have when it comes to dispatching for flatbed drivers. As well a key aspect that really clicked in my mind is to take my time to book the right load for my drivers. Thank you for this video and the awesome demonstration when it came down to negotiating! (:
Great job showing how it actually is. 👏 It's super important to take your time. That's how you don't get swindled or miss important details that can cost you.
So the load volume is high but the rates are low? To bad truckers can't come together and just say no to low paying freight. Don't ask me what's low paying freight! $1.20 is low paying freight. $2.00 is cheap freight. $4.00 is good freight, you can afford fuel on a 5mpg truck with $4.00 freight, not so much on $2.00.
I parked my truck and suspended my attorney and lowered my insurance I also put my DOT on hold. I'm currently driving regional getting hourly pay. Plus OT. I have Medical benefits and take home just about what I would make after running my truck for free basically. Home Friday to Monday. Not a bad gig. Definitely staying here and when I the market comes back I will put my trucks back on the road and keep this job.
@@Half_Swizy u still think market will recover? Will it when many of us will lose our money and living...very upset man...very sad to see this in our beloved country USA....
I used be a dispatcher back 2014-15 I remember we used post our trucks and they used call for offers of 5000-6000- upto 7000 from mn to ga that was amazing I remember we used to turn it down and those brokers begged us to haul the load for them now it’s the opposite. I guess the saying “every dog has his day”is true 🤔
Being from Ohio I try to stay around the Great Lakes region and Midwest I don't blame you for staying away from TQL, they are the absolute worst brokerage company I've ever dealt with for flatbed. They are rude and I've actually had their brokers hang up on me when I tried to renegotiate the rate, so I wouldn't even look at their loads. The company I drive for pulled their flatbeds off the road and now we're doing local Pneumatic tanker work, which is paying a lot better.
I also try to stay away from TQL. I haven’t moved a load for them in about 6 months . They are rude and call me 10 times before it’s delivered. Different people calling and the app is always tracking!
I'm a 1 truck owner op and this is exactly how I load myself, with similar standards. negotiate, negotiate, negotiate and say no to cheap freight!! funny how much the rate comes up when the load isn't getting moved. very good video, keep up the good work! 🇺🇸 🇺🇦
I started my LLC and was almost ready to get a truck until I did a deep dive into the spot market and researched everything i could. Im glad i didn't jump in last summer because of that research. Its fantastic you are showing the real side of trucking. Im hoping things get better to finally get out of being a company driver.
You are not too slow. We do the same. We take hrs to book just 1 load because we have a goal too to get a good load. Sometimes sit for 8 hrs calling and no loads.
Thanks Miranda for the video I been mostly booking my own loads having to see more examples help me when booking as the driver with too many hats I find as well spending a good few hrs looking for a load
I have learned a lot from your videos and it’s pushing me to switch from Trucking to Brokerage side but I promise never give a load less than $3.00 PM. 🤞🏽
I'm thinking the same thing myself. Having been in the industry 2 yrs and seeing how cut throat it can be, I have a new found passion to set a new standard. Totally disrupt the market in regards to what carriers get paid. Getting the carriers the rates they deserve. I hate greed 😡. I've connected with a few brokers with integrity, and I try to work with them as much as possible. However, they sometimes don't have enough consistent freight.
Your taking to long on the phone, while a good load just got posted. Its awesome you stand up to these brokers and don't take cheep freight. Flatbed is still hard to book right now.
I talked with a shipper a few days ago who told me that the brokers are charging them $6 & $7 per mile. Where is all that money going to when they're only offering less than $3 per mile? They're offering less than half of what the shipper is paying! This is insane, but as long as insane carriers are willing to be paid 3rd world pay, this will continue.
And that's the problem, there are a lot of carriers that are used to living by third world standards. That's what we're up against, unfortunately. Looked what happened to construction trades...
I enjoy your Videos. I’m going out of business to be a company driver until the rates go back to last year at least. Can you please upload these types of videos occasionally to show live bookings?
Lol, I'm from Texas and run flatbed and I literally know every one of these loads. I've done all of them a few times. Alot of labor for small return these days. Usually pretty decent.
It's a lot easier than dealing with the liability of leasing to a company and only getting 70% of the load and they're scraping all the profit off the top not to mention you run a high risk of getting fired when you lease to a company. But if you work for yourself can't nobody fire you you just take out your billfold and clean up your mess and pay for what you broke. Companies do it all the time. And they do it at the expense of the driver. Now it's my turn I would rather have my own MC number and my own authority. Just like cleetus snow and the Bandit
I'm not part of the trucking industry. As I was watching you work I was surprised how much manual work was involved and thought that there is room to automate some or possibly much of your interactions. AI would not be required but would make the job easier. I also was struck by how little shippers expect to pay. I assume that if a shipper calls one hundred bookers then somebody will be desperate enough to say yes. This resets the going rate and makes being a trucker a difficult career to earn a living. If Tesla ever solves the problem of self driving trucks then I see this industry completely transforming.
For these $600 loads, shippers need to send it on their own trucks and not waste time trying to book a semi truck for an uberX rate, and that’s what I tell them. And spot market is really a bad place to be right now regardless of equipment.

You made excellent points- I'll try that today. I think I am so fed up with brokers that I just enjoy saying "nope, not gonna happen" 😅

For the love of Gawd, STOP TAKING THE FIRST LOAD OF CHEAP CRAP YOU FIND!!!!!
Why don't we all thank this amazingly beautiful woman for her services. Thank you for all you do to help us trucker drivers in our daily lives .
Yes ty for dry van as well

I’m a driver but I really appreciate the look into how a dispatcher finds and books loads! Thanks Miranda!
I wish my negotiating skills were even a fraction as good as yours are! You're great! Thanks for your videos, they are very helpful.
Thank you :) But to be fair, for the most part I was just saying, "No", "Nope", "Not happening", "Better luck next time" LOL
@@TruckingMadeSuccessful Call it what you will, you do it well!
I like that you stay firm on your price. If everyone start doing this the market will be much better soon. Best wishes ❤️
Stick to your guns girl! I need you to dispatch my trucks when I put them back on the road!

I do the same thing to TQL, on my post, I wrote if you are TQL please don’t call, but they still call 🤮
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT WAY TO BOOK LOADS. IF THEY DONT WANT TO PAY..LET THAT SHIT...SIT. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
Great job showing how it actually is. 👏 It's super important to take your time. That's how you don't get swindled or miss important details that can cost you.

Yep I've been sitting at home now for 2 weeks. I refuse to move anything where I can't make decent money.

You can't come together with companies that just want to keep trucks rolling. High volume but a ton of trucks in the DFW market.

The way you explain all the things is very precised . I am getting enough knowledge to get to know about everything.
Thanks miranda

I wish there were videos like this when we started our company... Thank you very much for such great videos
Woooooow!!!!! Plzzz make more of these videos!!! U are teaching me how to dispatch myself and very inspiring. You rock!!!
I hate tarping in the snow. I almost quit last year. I would get a Conestoga immediately
I never post my truck,and this shows why!😊 Nice video.
Thank you Miranda. Videos like this are really helpful and educational
Hi Miranda, how are you, I hope that you will be fine. You are looking good today with another skillful video❤❤❤. Thanks 🇺🇸.

Wow🤯..it is tough out there..I'm am extra thankful for my dedicated customer at this point
Thanks Miranda for the video I been mostly booking my own loads having to see more examples help me when booking as the driver with too many hats I find as well spending a good few hrs looking for a load
Great job. All low ballers should learn from this. Keep it up.
Wow I had no idea how everyone wanted something for nothing. But anyway hello from N.Carolina. Stay Blessed Miranda.
When they say , we have it covered at that rate…
I tell them to call that carrier back!
Partial out the trailer. That’s the best part of flatbed.
I have learned a lot from your videos and it’s pushing me to switch from Trucking to Brokerage side but I promise never give a load less than $3.00 PM. 🤞🏽
Untill you find no loads for that $3.00 then you might need to pay some bills and start lowering your standards😮

Out in Reno this week…
I rather you take your time. That’s smart why just grab any load just to grab a load.
U r acing it I wish all the dispatchers out there were like u when it comes to negotiating with greedy brokers. Well done
always love the way as you used to explain to people

I am slow with booking a load too due to the crap. You have to hold out and play the waiting game for the right load. I refuse to run cheap freight!
Lol, I'm from Texas and run flatbed and I literally know every one of these loads. I've done all of them a few times.
Alot of labor for small return these days.
Usually pretty decent.
Thanks for this video, Miranda. I’m the same way as far as taking my time to work and book loads. And you confirmed that it’s Ok to work like this. 🙌🏽
I like the way you ignore TQL😂
Your energy is good honest I like that
You go girl!!take your sweet time
On top of TQL cheap rates, you just can’t trust them with anything they say! That is my main reason I stay far away from them.
Wooow I'm a company driver and I make arround one dollar per mile loaded and empty and I'm local. I go home every afternoon
Hi Miranda , those railroad ties are heavy and creosote coated , I took a load recently to VT , good you cancelled that load.
I hate TQL to lol they are annoying
Calling you 5-10 times and mess you and tracking your phone 📱 per day
22:18 you finally snapped like we do lol , its not fun dealing with brokers rn , good work !
-H
My teacher 😢. You r a blessing hand
Think you for this information, I will try to remind that if I want to try flatbed. Amazing dedicated worker.
The verbal martial arts ! 😅 You go girl. 👊🏾
I'm a hotshot there will always be a good paying load you just have to have patience and it will pop up. I don't mind waiting!
I love this video ,,all ur videos useful and let us learn more
Hello Miranda, you are a breath of fresh air to the transport industry. Thanks for sharing!
yes now hard to find good loads but next year will be better i think.
Great video. 🎉❤😊
I liked the approach you took on this video…
I love your rules.
Beautiful ❤
Thank you!
Great video
You are amazing!!! Thank you for sharing the experience!!!
This why I park my truck looking for company job
Love the video. It’s an eye opener for someone like myself wanting to buy a truck and flatbed outright
Very helpful video! Thank you!
Thats y I run step deck
Good stuff
It's a lot easier than dealing with the liability of leasing to a company and only getting 70% of the load and they're scraping all the profit off the top not to mention you run a high risk of getting fired when you lease to a company. But if you work for yourself can't nobody fire you you just take out your billfold and clean up your mess and pay for what you broke. Companies do it all the time. And they do it at the expense of the driver. Now it's my turn I would rather have my own MC number and my own authority. Just like cleetus snow and the Bandit
If I'm not mistaken most flatbeds are using Truckstop load board.
Yes correct- I usually have both load boards open
Dat has more flatbed loads than everything else. Even dryvan
I'm not part of the trucking industry. As I was watching you work I was surprised how much manual work was involved and thought that there is room to automate some or possibly much of your interactions. AI would not be required but would make the job easier. I also was struck by how little shippers expect to pay. I assume that if a shipper calls one hundred bookers then somebody will be desperate enough to say yes. This resets the going rate and makes being a trucker a difficult career to earn a living. If Tesla ever solves the problem of self driving trucks then I see this industry completely transforming.
Good job little M !!!!!! Stand your ground !! Great job💯💯💯
Thanks for video.
U get to keep what's left over.
Trucking is disgusting right now.
For these $600 loads, shippers need to send it on their own trucks and not waste time trying to book a semi truck for an uberX rate, and that’s what I tell them. And spot market is really a bad place to be right now regardless of equipment.
I usually tell them it costs $500 just to start my truck.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ MIRANDA
Wow you guys are paying 80pm that's pretty Good for company driver 💪I'm flatbed and stepdeck driver company opt I take home 2-3k weekly
We pay 70 cpm or 28% of gross
appreciate your effort😊
It's a looking for a needle in a hay stack to get good paying $$ load.
They do not call that frequently when you have a truck posted.
Truck stop worked much better for me when I dispatch 53 step. All old school brokers there
Awesome video Miranda
Thank you so much for tutorial
I wish you be my tutor miss you are the best
I recognize those guys voice from TQL. They are desperate and greedy.They are eventually going to put themselves out of business.
