Crushed Car rate?

There's no incentive to put a full load on when you're paid by the mile>most drivers are lazy and wouldn't go back for an additional ton or more.

The guy getting paid by the ton should load 5 ton more 'cause he can.

 

And then they would'nt be able to have those leaning tower of cars.

 

Some pay by 100 pound..

And most trucks around these make there livung pulling 2 trailers.

 

By the ton is standard for any freight that is being hauled not as a single unit or standard order also becuase the overall deal between the shipper and receive is probably being dealt with on a per ton basis as well. You will be able to convert your mileage rate into a per tonne rate, if you already know the location of the pick up and drop off. If you have a strong relationship with the broker you may be able to negotiate a minumum charge. If they don't load you full because of their laziness or lack of cars then you shouldn't be penalized for it. Somewhere around your breakeven point would be fair.

 

But the steel bits penetrating your tires in the scrap yards makes the loads not worth it.

 

I know alter metal pays for my tires as long as I tell them before I leave but rarely haul there maybe once a month

 

Out of New England and NY there hauling crushed cars out to western pa and OH for a little over a buck a mile. Not even worth it, plus they mess up your trailer.
