answering your question above...
I can only speak from my company’s experience but I find that new vehicles from manufacture or rail to dealerships pays the least amount.
Maybe other companies get better pay for these but when my trucks move these, the pay usually is not very great.
Having said that, it’s much quick to load these loads because they’re all in one place. You must account for that because you’re not spending much time driving around picking up single units. This allows you to pickup and deliver much quicker, allowing you to get to your next load.
Maybe it evens out in the end... not sure; I’ve never done the math on it since manufacture and rail work is only a small portion of our revenue..NightWind and asphaltreptile311 Thank this. -

TexasKGB, Blue jeans, EvertonP and 4 others Thank this. -
Your truck must be listed under H&A’s insurance liability policy, not your own policy... is that correct?
Do owner operators/independent contractors have to pay the yearly renewal down payments or does H&A take care of that?
Are you paying for the liability AND cargo premiums? Or just the cargo?
Thanks for educating me on how this works with the big companies.
I’m just a small fleet trying to get to the next level so I’m always interested in learning how to biggest, most successful companies do things... -
I pay cargo and what most would call Bobtail. Does not really apply in carhaul, but basically if I drive unladen to repair shop or something else. I choose to use the same insurance company they do to make things easier. They pay the premium and take it out of my bi weekly settlement.

What percentage do most companies pay to O/O's?
-
80-85% plus 100% of the fuel surcharge is fairly standard.
