Sammons Trucking is looking for Owner Operators flat, step, and rgn.

If you didn't require 12 mo's of flatbed exp. I might be there.....

 

And I would have/still would go there if I could be forgiven of 2 Dui's which I received at 20yrs old.(1980) Ah well. Such is life. I have talked with many a Sammon driver when running W and they have all said mostly good things..Quite amazing when I think about it..

I wonder;if I were to buy a Truck from the Bank would I be eligible to lease on in Missoula?

 

I would understand more, if you stated it was for Ins purposes but, not having a way to train for securement is not what I expected. I trained with TMC in SC and all they have is a mobile office with some PC's inside,,did what we had to there and than outside in the small lot they had. On this lot they had a trailer with a container, a trailer with a large coil and a trailer with some flat steel and wire. We use the container to throw straps over, the coil trailer to learn strapping a tarping a coil and the other trailer for all that. CRST Malone has a similiar set up, does Sammons not have the capability to do the same? Just curious is all.

 

Is the 75% paid off the gross from the shipper's rate confirmation, or is it after the rate is skimmed by the agent/brokerage sells the load to his Sammons agent side of his brokerage business? I guess I'm just greedy enough to be looking for 75% of the contract rate, otherwise I'm better off with my own authority hauling loads I get off ITS or CHR.

 

Do you or can you provide trailers. Do you provide base plates?

 

That is one thing I don't agree with, charging a high dollar amount to rent a trailer, to a driver that pull's for you. That equals $11,440 a year in just trailer rental. I could go out, if I had the money, and buy a nice used trailer for that much, or less. I understand the fee but why so much? Yeah I know, the fee covers the cost of any/all maintanence on said trailer,,,ok, got that. CRST Malone charges $185 for a flatbed and that equals $9,620 a year, I have found some in great shape for 7k. I have been thinking and researching about doing a lease purchase with CRST Malone and the the trailer rental is the one main thing that is keeping me from doing it, not to mention it is a lease purchase and that is the last thing I WANT to do.
