$200 a day. Good or bad?

4 turns would be good,

5 turns is about 3500 miles in 5 days, loading plus unloading ?????

I don't know...........

Oh, FFS! There, happy TTR?

 

For me, can't put a price on being home. Sounds like the living in the "middle" thing would be a big plus. You may regret not taking it due to that.

 

200 hundred a day, minus taxes, any tolls where you are? one flat tire or ticket must hurt if its your own truck...Everything is so tight these days its very hard for everyone...

I am trying to get a company to haul stone from NJ to NY and its been nothing but head aches...Different weight laws in NJ then in NY...Tolls, traffic, ect...I believe my boss offers something like 12-24 per ton..dont really know, but these tri axle dump trucks seem like they cant get it done, they bring in 22-25 ton per truck

 

I'm always against such "pay plans". You have little/no recourse if you end up losing an ENTIRE day in New Orleans in wait time unloading and loading, nearly every trip. One drop may turn into two, New Orleans may turn into "include a Slidell pickup ... it's just a little bit further". I've found that driver employers who want to pay this way are to be carefully watched and many are not completely trustworthy in the long term. Wyy would they not offer a set mileage rate, a set pu/stop rate after 2 pu/stop's, detention pay after 2 hours?

I don't like to speak ill of someone I have no knowledge of, but I can only speak in generality after hearing too may drivers in similar situations end up sorry they ever took the job. But if you really trust the person involved then do what you need to do. Make sure they have an after hours road repair plan and you can be assured of getting phone and financial support from your boss in the event of a breakdown. You may lose a full day or more sitting in Lake Charles getting a major repair done, will they compensate you?
