Load is not ready please come back tomorrow

$50 a day?, $100 a day? $200 a day??


how much fuel did you burn up, getting there?

if you pay yourself a salary, how much per day would you have made on your salary alone?

this had actually happened to me, but i was back then a company driver. i got $10 per hour for 8 hours (they used break down pay) for the day, plus mileage which was say x number of miles, x's 30¢ each mile. (way back in the good ole days)

i think i got about $125.00

i didn't care, it was easy money to take.

 

I’m super trucker.... it’s happened to me 2x this year..., one time I was gonna leave and told agent nevermind I don’t want to do it... I got $1200 that time.

And just last month I was given $900 for waiting from 9am Wednesday til 11am Thursday to load....

 

If you don't make them pay they will keep doing it.

 

That's right, only super truckers get good money for truck order not used. So don't be a super trucker, just go home and come back or wait there for a day for free. It's not like they depend on someone to provide on-time delivery and accurate service, so why get paid at all? Just do it for free, take one for the team. Don't be a super trucker.

 

What is the freight?

We get $325 day for layover with a van. And Landstar takes 35% of that.

Some agents will give us max detention instead. We get 100% of detention.

The most I've gotten is $425 & $350 and both of those were like 10 hours.

Done several where they top at $250 cash a day.

Like you said, it's a ####ty situation, but it's a good customer.

 

From behind a desk the world is simple.

 

You guys won't like what I charge, and you won't believe what I get for a Tonu.

I work all this out before with the customer so there is no misunderstanding, each customer is different but overall it is a days worth of revenue.

 

I got $700 last time it happened and I wasn't happy about it. Got to be a day's revenue.
