Stop Pay

Ok im supposed be nice to you here and not treat you like a jerk so here goes,,, this guy is running 5 trucks successfully,,, how many are you running most likely one and maybe even none,,,, your probably a steering wheel holder that knows nothing more than how to be ignorant !

 

I highly doubt you will get in drop 5 pallets and out in thirty min.... ill bet you end up at least an hour or more. Explain to them if you can get in and out in 30 min then 75 bucks if its over 30 min its 100 bucks, and if it over an hour 150 bucks and get/put it in writing....

 

I can tell you what L/S Charges.I have a multi-drop load i do for an agents customer...She gives me 500.00 NY Arbitrary 100% to me...She gives me 75.00 per stop after the 1st stop.I get 100% lumper fee.This is usually 150-200 bucks.

If we are talking about ''company drivers'' i would say first drop is ''Free''.Each stop after that is 35.00 a stop.Any handling goes 100% to driver or lumper.To a company driver this is ''fair''...Again this is IMO.

If i were to charge a customer i would want this in writing before i haul one load.

 

That's not NICE..You owe this OP an Apology.

 

Is it normal for companies to take a percentage off the top of accessorial pay like stopoffs from their contractors? Some do and some don't?

 

I would keep it in the $75-$100 range per stop to remain competitive. One thing you want to keep an eye on is what times the receiver will allow you to unload. Some stores are pretty cool, others have restrictions, others the town that the store is in has restrictions. Noticed Lowe's and HD stores in certain towns have certain times they are not allowed to unload. If all of your stops are at the end of the 1000 mile run then no problem but you come across one that is 300 miles into your run with time restrictions then all of a sudden you added another day to the overall run.

Rollin - I would normally give a driver a good percentage of the stop pay but usually not all of it. Just as a driver who decided to lump a load himself and keep the $200 comchek for himself. I never got a call saying, hey, I made $200 extra bucks by lumping the load off myself with the receivers electric pallet jack, how about I give you $50. It all depends on the amount of work involved too but I always try to be fair about it.

 

Yea you sound real nice when I was asking questions and you're calling names. Really who's the ignorant one here?
And I don't need to brag about how many trucks I'm running. I know what I need to charge for stop off pay.
You sound like the jerk, so now I'm glad I pissed in your wheaties.

 

You have 5 trucks and you are now asking how much to charge for drop pay?
Seriously you have how many trucks? And how long have you been a fleet owner?

This isn't asking ?s its filled with snotty sarcasm and ignorance !
Maybe you own one measly truck and u act like this guy running 5 trucks is an idiot,,, im afraid he is not the idiot here
and did you notice he did not ans any of your so called questions, now did he ? No he just ignored your ignorance like we all should have!!!!!.

 

Whatever.
Your handle says alot about you and your rude comments and name calling says alot about your life.
You don't know anything about me or my trucks or my education, yet you want to speak for everyone in general,call names, and be judgemental about me.
I kinda feel sorry for one's like yourself.

 

Well your wrong again you should be feeling sorry for yourself !
And now I will do as all the others have done so wisely,,,, ignore your ignorance
