thinking i should start my own lumping company. the heck with driving a truck and never being home.

Lumping companies have high workmans comp, but it still has to be a profitable business. Also dulous, companies do not pay half your taxes, only half your payroll tax. Employee leasing companies can get wc and payroll taxes done for <20%, and a lot of these lumpers never stop at busy locations.Arkansas Frost Thanks this. -
You gotta wonder at the ones where try charge $20 extra dollars per broken pallet. Then they have 20 guys acting as seatwarmers the entire time you are dropping off and picking up paperwork. Enjoy the $155 to have 2 guys on forklifts clear out the trailer in 30 minutes. Surprised you're not breaking more pallets!

My favorite is when they fly the stuff off the box in 10 minutes and somehow magically you have 3 damaged cases. Wonder how that happened? -

Lumpers are on site, so you're either paying your people $10/hr to unload trucks or lumpers are charging $35-375 to unload the truck. Companies that don't get much freight don't have lumpers, they do it themselves. Who employes the people has little impact on how much they cost, but with a lumper business there's an extra hand in the pot.

What I mean to say is they are there no matter who employes them. They're not on demand.
