    I'm going to probably be heading down to the Odessa area soon, I have one more application in the works to see what they can offer me. The first company said they will pay me 26% what the truck makes. Is that per load ? And what would be a good estimate on that percentage what I could make in a week, and I understand that depends on how many loads I do in a day.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Perhaps you should read this post before heading to Odessa.

    Ask for the master rate sheets for the loads for your records if they ask. Reason is they could say 'here's your $200 for the day' when you might have been entitled to $300.

    All good. I've got a decent customer base now :) I can't answer your crude rate question though. There's a bad thread on Bridger, look into Permian Trading & Transport. I still see those trucks rolling.

    A good day for our trucks was $ 1,500.00 gross per 12-14 hr shift. That is down a little now to $ 12-1300.00. With a large company running two drivers per truck, $ 2,500.00-3,000.00 per 24 hour period was the goal.
