Is Tenold Transportation as good as it sounds?

No one knows what the real story is like other drivers .

Looking at ideas for moving from a lease operator contract to a percentage based contract.

I've heard of Tenold but don't know if they are as advertised.

I am trying to get the love and enjoyment back for owning after the large company abuse/harassment/micromanagement of late
AND because
we didn't get into ownership to provide maintenance/cost savings for a selfish giant who won't take NO for an answer. (PS. Stick your turnpikes! You want the profit, you eat the cost )

Alberta based Team highway, Canada Only, North or Western Provinces preferred.
Is Tenold a good place? Any suggestions?

 

Allan, do you prefer mileage over percentage?
I've never done percentage but so many say it's so much better.
We can't go state-side so that eliminates so much for us. I did see that there was a Canada Only position and most likely because Mullen bought them.
I agree that there has been a huge change with company attitudes in general, so you're most likely right about the laid-back atmosphere maybe not being there

Hooray for the OBR .. ..(no boo, really boo)

 

Thank you very much. I had an idea about LTL because I used to bill in the offices when I was pretty young. Back then an LTL would net about $11,000 from Edmonton to Winnipeg.
I know because we're north and we usually are SB empty that the way up pays for us both ways of travel and that the backhaul that sucks our fuel is pure profit for them, for which they will kick us a couple of hundred bucks.
North freight is pretty heftily charged but I haven't seen those numbers.
The current place is quite demanding for the costs we are saving and I know that my billed back registration, plates and insurance (cargo+truck) are the same cost as own authority. Only the fuel is low for us, the work is steady and we don't pay the IFTA.
When they use hired power/tractor services those guys are paid easily 40 percent above our rates.
The current rules being enforced (our unit must be driven like a company truck, re:speed, answer for rapid decelerations, extra computer punching like OS+D claims or off/load manifesting, no right to refuse or be bullied) are there to save them but cost us (longer time to do same piece work, reports to fill, extra clerking duties to replace administration, higher profiting load factors for them costing us more fuel).
These large faceless companies do not deserve it all off of our sweat and heartache!
Thanks, Allan!
