Autumn transport-Minnesota

I know one of their dispatchers, but I don't know much about the company. I think that they have about 100 trucks. Next time I talk to her, I'll see what info I can get for you.

If their website is correct, that rate of $1.01 is the base rate and then there is a 17-19% fuel surcharge that gets added to that, depending on the price of fuel. So you are looking at $1.17 to $1.19/mi., which is not amazing, but not terrible either. I am in dry van, and it is not hard to get $1.22 to $1.25/mi to pull a van. Maybe $1.19/mi to pull hoppers is a great rate, I don't know. I would think that pulling max weight all of the time should mean a higher rate per mile than pulling a van, but I don't know much about that part of the industry. Maybe the return trips are empty and it all balances out. They have a nice yard and the trailers all seem to be kept up when I see them. So that's a good sign.

If you interview with them, let me know what you find out.

 

simply speaking from the wife of a driver for Autumn and also from someone who is not well versed in "trucker-lingo", my husband has been driving with Autumn for about a year and a half. All I can say is that they have kept him very busy and the income great. I have been an RN for many years and my income nearly a third of his. Granted, overhead high but well over six digit profit. Autumn has been good to us, and I am not easy to please...hahha

 

Doesn't Autumn pull smooth bore chemical tankers? If so, $1.01/mile plus fuel surcharge is a screw job... Is it loaded mile only? or bounce miles too? What about trailer washouts?

Typically, O/O pulling chemical tankers can expect to average about $1.75/per mile loaded and empty. With all fees taken out for trailer use, dispatch etc etc.

Of course there will be some gravy runs that will get you much more but a good working average is $1.75/mile.

Does anybody no more about the liquid side of autumn?I live close to were alot are running in and out but can never catch one.I see alot of post about them but not enough to go on. I dont like to talk to company first before drivers because they will tell you all good.I wanna know about average weekly pay,per mile,surcharge,and appointment times are they flexibe about home time being im so close to a customer.Or will i have to load and run right past the house.

 

I'm also interested in the liquid bulk side if anyone has any info.

 

Driver Bill i dont know if their liquid side runs your lane out in N.C. from what im seeing its upper midwest on their ad in one of them job books.Nobody else wants to pipe up maybe thats a good sign. I never let any info go about the good jobs either. Ha Ha.

 

I knew a guy that lived in Maryland the pulled a pnuematic tank for them and he loved it said they treated him great. He had to give it up because he lost a leg several years ago and with time had a tough time getting around
