I need a driver asap!! east coast mostly.

Well we burned up the highway last week.
Left London,Ky. and made to the rest area on I74 in Il. by Farmer City that night with a 15' wide ld and heavy.

Was tired that night...

 

is the job still open?

 

"I agree on paying a driver good and the returns in savings might be a lot. Driver making 30% of net is way too much. Driver makes more than truck and owner combined? Let's say almost 50% of load goes to fuel. So really working with only 50% that's left. The driver gets 20% and I'm left with 30% to maintain the truck and all other expenses to run the business. It might work on a large fleet but on a small fleet it's a strain. In it to make money after all. "

Exactly...do you understand gross, net, profit? 30% of the net....means fuel is out already, as well as tolls, ect....what net means is that you have what is left over after expenses. So how do you think this is more than the truck makes or you? That leaves 70% of the net. If you can not make it on 70% of net...than either you are hauling cheap freight or have the wrong contracts. Doe you get an adequate fuel surcharge...charge back alll tolls and accessorials? If not, it is not the driver that is going to break you....but cheap freight and contracts.

 

They are saying 30% of net after all expenses. Not gross.
