SNI CHOICE PROGRAM - Jar Head takes his Truck -" Betsy " ( Not a Lease Truck )

I believe that when Logistics books a load they take their % out then pass it on to National to be dispatched to us and National takes their % out of what Logistics gives it to National for then we get whats left. I think that's why theirs a separation between the companies to cover their BUTTS.

 

I like SNI but sometimes.................................................... you fill in the blank...

 

That is exactly how the "director" explained it to me. But have a look at the numbers...507.78 Logistics to National...65% = 330.057 Now look at the loadboard screenshot. Base rate 240.32...not even close to being the 65% we are contracted to get.

Don't bother adding the Surcharge as it is an accessorial which we are due 100% of.

 

Or didn't unload for 3 days.

 

Sorry chicknwing when I click the picture my screen goes blank. I am with you on this.... I wasn't trying to defend SNI I was just saying how it was explained to me. I have never understood SNI math as with the HHMG miles they pay sometimes it's 50% or more OOR when it's short miles they list. I understand back in the day HHMG was the standard but you and I both know logistics is billing practical not HHMG or else SNI would go out of business. As to the numbers you posted I can only guess they took the load and converted it from practical which is how they booked it and converted it to HHMG and adjusted the rate that way. It's wrong It's wrong and wish we could change it.

 

Why is it even when I separate the sentences in my posts they always show up as one big post?

 

Ok. I do agree with what you are saying. I typically have the load I'm hauling plus one. However, I do book them tight. That is how I choose to run my business in order to maximize daily revenue. It also affords me the opportunity to be home several nights a week and every weekend while still generating a considerable income. Now, while I do leave myself a little wiggle room for mishaps the 2.5 hours for a trl search on top of 1.25 hrs waiting on the box assignment can screw my day up pretty bad.

I'm not leaving sni. I like what I do. I just am in agreement with chickenwing, life here isn't all peaches and sunshine. When you've spent half a day looking for an empty or have your load pulled to be loaded in a company truck then you may understand.

I do hope your experience is different and I apologize for hijacking your thread!!

 

My figures show National taking 13%.
507.78 / 87% = 583.66 x 65% = 379.78

 

Your numbers make no sense at all...if national billed logistics 507.78 to haul the load the rate cannot increase... and where did you come up with 87%?

 

looks like Logistics gets 36.5 % before anyone
