I had a load yesterday that ran Tampa Bay Florida area. Since some roads were blocked off and out of service and the surrounding areas it took a little longer to get in there. I casually mentioned this to a friend driver of mine and he said, “I hope you’re getting some extra change for that, cause I guarantee you your company is.” Not sure if he was accurate or not but he said he had been running loads to Florida and his company was paying him one and a half times his normal CPM as they were getting a lot. Especially for supplies and food products etc.
Anyone else heard this, anyone else been to Florida since the storm?
Higher pay for Florida loads FEMA pay?

It’s true. Urgent loads always get more.

I ran some FEMA loads to the Carolinas one time. We were told not to use a log book because FEMA loads are exempt. I was hauling bags of ice.

Owner operators make bank on it too if the broker isn’t a conman. But company drivers? Not so much. Unless your exempt from hours then you can negotiate hazardous pay I guess since you got to drive over your 11 meaning inconvenience for you. -

Only the western parts of FL are a mess. I delivered to Jacksonville then went to the house near Gainesville and then down to Stuart without issues.
