US Freightways

I recived their call also and he e mailed me some settlement sheets from another driver with that drivers phone number and after looking at his pay I wasn't real impressed. Most loads were from chicago to the north east.

 

seems about the only difference between them and running your own authority is they are taking 12% for having there stickers on your door. I guarantee if they dont seperate the fsc from the linehaul rate on your confirmation or settlement they are taking more than 12%! I guess having a reliable customer with steady loads counts for something...but your pretty much paying for everything......and im assuming when you say insurance you mean cargo ins. also?

 

more information please

 

they called me today and said the pay ave to a1.54 per mile. they emailed me the info sheet which states 1.54 so who knows. 125.00 for trailer.

 

Notice on those settlements they are from when fuel was over $4 a gallon, so that $1.54 a mile includes the fsc, which makes it not impressive considering they pay for NOTHING and most of their freight is north east so that means $$$$$ for tolls!

 

nope the trailer rental fee turned me off.and the constant north east freight.thows tolls will add up.

 

they said no force dispatch. so you can choose to run the north east. i did talk to a driver in oklahoma he said he was doing good been with for a about 2 months said the pay was good between 1.54 to 1.69 i dont know for sure im just going by what he said. hmmmmmm driver do not stretch the truth do they

 

I talked to someone there to day about hiring on. In addition to everything else you must buy there cargo and liability insurance at $ 642 per month, trailer rental $ 500 per month & workmans comp $ 150 per month = $ 1,292 a month. If your getting at least $ 1.35 per mile then 2500 per week =$ 3,375. Its probably not bad if you own your own trailer. I can get one cheap. I think im going to hire on with them, ill report back in a while and tell you what I think.

 

i did take the job with them. the pay is what they are saying. after oreintation i took a run over to pa from chicago pay was 2.30 per mile to me . then got a load to ft worth pay was 1.63 per mile load to ga from ft worth 1.55 per mile. getting loaded tomorrow back to texas load pays 1.50 per mile. i havent been with them long so i am keeping my eyes open to see how it goes.so far i havent went below a 1.50 yet. the big word is yet
