OSOW

I have this posted in two other places here until I found this sub-forum. This was probably the best place to post this but I just found it. So, not sure if it's ok to post the same thread in multiple sections. If it's not I apologize. Anyway, I'm looking to pull some oversize but I don't want to butcher the rates. Since I'm new to this, I'm asking for help in determining rates for loads that are under 12' wide and less than 13'6" high. I want to avoid anything well over my head that involve pilots, surveys etc etc. Just looking to handle the "baby" stuff and the occasional overweight load. I can scale 48k but sometimes there's opportunity to handle a 50k load etc etc. Where's a good place to start on rate determination? Should I be quoting by RPM, per axle, dimensions etc?

 

Thanks for the input. I've been running under my own numbers for a couple years and was leased on for a few before that. I calculate my rates similarly while taking in other considerations. I wouldn't be doing anything over height nor anything over 12' wide. Just minor moves with the occasional OW. Personally, it's a ton of hassle and don't really have an interest in it. It's just I'm getting a lot of requests to do it.

 

Sounds like a good plan. Thanks again.
