    Our percentage is 67%... it may seem low but our company pays us high freight rates.

    Aint that the truth, honestly I don't mind it, and I could've done more + Saturday if my truck wasn't worrying me. Sitting it out till next week while they do the kingpins, shocks, clutch and rear bunk heater core.....

    I'm talking about your costs to operate your truck... nothing to do with what percentage your company pays...

    I,m a co. driver with a small company from Wisconsin. We pull 53,40, and 20,s into a lot of Chicago yards. The loads are from Wi. and some from the UP. They say the o/o pay is 1.70 ish fsc is 13percent-sounds low. A lot of CHR Loads, very heavy.Have to run around 1/3 to 1/2 tank to get them legal. I,ve been looking for a older Mack truck, I,m thinking about a 04 CHN or maybe get a truck from Canada since ya get more for your American buck. Then make a run at it. Have to work tomorrow, doing a lot of short loads-yippy ki a.
