% of Line Haul freight

way to low, thats what co. give trucks that they are paying all insur. on

 

Hell i give my drivers 25% off the top and they don't pay for anything. If your only getting 80% and its your truck I would re- think what your arrangement is.

 

why cant u ask the brokers directly im a company driver who makes 25% of the linehaul and i have no problem calling a broker and asking about a rate my boss actually encourages this as well as send us the the actual load confirmation

 

If you're running your own authority, why are you hauling for another company?
You're not an O/O leased on with them like so many others, so don't let them treat you like one. You don't work for them, you work for you, and they need you more than you need them, so I'd make it clear that you have to agree on a rate for any load before you agree to haul it.

 

but if u have ur own authority then u can pull whatever u want dont like the company rates refuse the load and find a different broker to deal with directly if they dont like it who cares u are under no contract to pull just there freight. what is the point of having ur own authority if ur gonna lease on to someone either lose that overhead of ur own authority and find a better company to lease to or find ur own direct freight and make good relations with brokers. the trailer means nothing u can work a deal with ryder to buy ur own trailer or lone mountain and u dont have to lease on to any carrier to do it

 

Why does one get their own authority, a truck and no trailer? If you jumping in you need to go all the way.

 

Do you believe everything that is ''written'' down on a rate conformation..?

 

they get a rate confirmation on those loads, no reason you shouldn't be able to see it. If they won't show it to you something is wrong, but you already sort of know that, don't you ?
