I been driving a dry van and thinking of working for a reefer comp....do you get paid while they unload/load the trls?
or is it like the dry vans where you eat the 1st 2 hrs of loading/unloading. -
Depends on load and contract....many times its built into my rates kinda assume i,ll eat some time at 3 dollars a mile but at 180 i start biching and usually get 300 a day
-
We get paid after 1 hour, which is likely not the norm out there. The company figures the first hour is roughly the pickup or delivery payment we get for the stop, so after that we go hourly.
-
Pros: Steady and longer freight runs. Healthier companies because of it.
Cons: Difficult shippers and receivers to work with. Two tanks to fill. Longer periods of loading and unloading. Cheap freight means cheap pay. -
Loading and unloading is a pain. Depending on the company expect to sit...a lot. Targets and Carrillo are the worst. 4 hour minimum unload. Carefully are never in time with a load...ever. I don't think once. Terrible company.

I find it hard to believe that the worlds largest retailer does this.
