Owner Operator Min Mileage Requirement

make the trailer expenses a per week deduction. let them figure out how they want to make it up.

 

I worked in upper management on the inside of a trucking company. I ran a detailed analysis for the owner, a combination of lease & company guys. For his particular profile, average rate, overhead, etc, those trucks needed to run 9,000 miles a month to produce any reasonable rate of return after expenses.

 

yeah so 425 bucks a week it is and if they don't like it they can get their own insurance,and their own new trailer,and then see how many days they run a week.

right now you're doing the good deed,and it is not going unpunished. you can nice guy yourself right out of business.

 

I pay all my own stuff and get charged %10. I pay insurance every week too. My own truck, trailer, plate, ifta, and fuel. There is no min where I'm at.

If someone was to pay everything and charge more % they should be able to dictate the monthly or quarterly min. Within reason I would think. If it's just a lazy ### driver just cut them lose.

You should structure your compensation in such a way that the O/Os are motivated to work the number of days that you want them to work.

 

Just for kicks, indulge me:

So for a $1,000 load, you take $200

And then you deduct out of the settlement, another $150/week for your FC.

At a min, this adds up to 350/week, assuming 1 run for $1000.

And you still want them to run more according to your whims???

....shiiiieeeeettt.

This is why I got my own MC. I can run when I want, and don't have to share my $1000 with anyone.

My own ins will be $350/week with no one giving me the evil eye if I chose not to run 5 days and run 2 days.

Paperwork is so easy, I can't believe why O/O would want to be attached to a lease outfit.
