What are you supposed to do with that kinda money? Eat ramen noodles? Looks like Chicken Feed to me.

I understand where your coming from however, we haul much more freight paying alot better rates. I am not going to come on here and advertize my highest paying freight and claim it's what you will make from each haul. Our dispatch work hard to find the best paying freight for our drivers. No haul is even considered unless it pays $1.00 or better round trip. I think we can all agree that the rates are no where near where they were a few years ago however it is our goal to get each driver on the best paying freight avaliable to us.
Saddle Tramp and losttrucker Thank this. -
Does Grace provide plates, insurance or ez-pass/pre-pass? How about haz-mat?? Is their a trailer fee?? Does that rate include a fsc?? Provide us with a few MAJOR details that your web-site leaves out. -
That's what I was thinking.
Who pays:
plates
liability ins
fuel taxes
cargo ins
permits
Your trailer or ours?
Fuel surcharge on top of rates you quoted, if so, how is it calculated?
Any fuel or parts discounts?
Pre pass ect?
Qualcomm required, if so, any cost?
How often paid, and how?
Escrow required? How much, how witheld, how long before returned after quitting?
Average miles deadheading per week?
PC miler or HHG, or what?
Is the rate per mile quoted calculated by your system, or from trucks actual reported miles?Saddle Tramp Thanks this. -
In your first post the quote was avg. pay was $1.00-$1.15. Now your say'n you have much better paying freight. Your version of avg. money and mine must be different. All miles + all trucks divided by all money = avg. Correct? So if this is your avg. your hauling for less on some loads. Correct? Except you don't haul for less than $ 1.00 or better round trip. I'm confused.
-
What Im saying is a load may pay $.95/mile but the backhaul pays $1.35/mile. Average is better than 1.00/mile.
Who pays:
plates -- O/O
liability ins -- O/O pays Occupational accident policy
fuel taxes -- O/O
cargo ins -- Grace
permits -- additional permits are drivers resp.
TOLLS - are paid by Grace
Your trailer or ours? Our trailers, no fees
Fuel surcharge on top of rates you quoted, if so, how is it calculated?
Most rates are plus Fuel S/C
Any fuel or parts discounts? -- We use the NATSC network and fleetone fuel cards. Drivers recieve a discounted price on all in-network fuel stops. In network TAs will save you the most on fuel.
Pre pass ect? -- not required
Qualcomm required, if so, any cost? -- NO
How often paid, and how? -- Ex: For what a Driver hauls saturday thru friday, driver get paid next friday, printed check
Escrow required? How much, how witheld, how long before returned after quitting? -- Currently we build a $1,000 escrow, 5% of each load until it reaches $1,000. 45 days after quiting escrow pays out minus any deductions
Average miles deadheading per week? dispatch can answer this question better, but we try not to deadhead a truck at all. If we need you to deadhead over a reasonable amount of miles to get a load you will be paid for your deadhead miles.
PC miler or HHG, or what? -- PC Miler is used to figure mileage but drivers arent paid by mileage. 70% of linehaul and all of fuel surcharge goes to driver. for load paid by flat rate, driver gets 70% of flat rate.
Please if you want more information you will get all your answers by contacting us. Dispatch and our safety department can answer any questions you can throw at them.Saddle Tramp Thanks this. -
I would think that with a little research a O/O could beat this deal any day. If you read the answers above you pay for just about every thing except tolls. Not every load pays FSC? Those must be the ones that require no fuel to pull 'em. So what are ya getting? $1.00 -$ 1.15 Most major carriers are paying all miles at .90 + FSC (.33 this week) and they pay most everything.
losttrucker, thanatos and outerspacehillbilly Thank this. -
brutal honesty is the best policy
-
Bottom feeder miles. Pass. Its too ripe for me.
You want my attention. You pay the miles of fuel 100% especially at $1 a mile. red flag
You have deductions after 45 days? Pfft red flag.
"For more info --------" nother red flag, pushy recruiting department. red flag
alot of fees in there to the o/o. red flag
You have a nice dream. But if I had 2 years (class 8..) experience I can do alot better.dino6960 Thanks this.
