Because I'm biased I will withhold my opinion for now and wait to see what you think..........Read carefully.....
- We have a particular run, dedicated. 20 mile flip..... company guy is on it during the week and O/O on the weekends. Company driver grosses $76 for each load and that's 25% of the revenue.....ok fine. I get $291.xx per flip as O/O including FSC. Hmmmm ...76x4= $304 and co. drivers don't get FSC. See my point? Whatcha think??
- A little birdie in billing told me that every time we go over 2 hours anywhere ( load / unload ) ( on computer ) she has to generate a detention slip to accompany the bills to corporate unless we have turned one in to claim detention. Her sheet is the same one I use and contains all the same information I would normally submit. ( I personally bill for every minute over 2 hours but some drivers can't be bothered chasing 15 minutes or so. ) Whatcha think?
I'm sure you can guess what I'm thinking so what's your opinion? Could I be blinded my years of mistrust ?
Here's one for my fellow tanker yankers....whatcha think???

As far as question 1 what percentage do you make as an O/O? If they are paying you 75-80% + FSC then that number would seem about right. I'm not an o/o but I would assume the company would keep a percentage for getting the load
-
Seems like the company guy isn't getting 25% unless they are paying you more than they bill the customer for. He is probably still happy making 1500+ a week and off weekends though. That's 75K a year. Wouldn't be hard to fill seats for that.
-
He wishes...no he gets 10@76 each week. His % is correct so I'm saying if his 76 is 25%.... then 76x4 is 304 gross without FSC. I get 291 with FSC and of course...I smell a rat.

Driver would not get any of the fuel money. You are getting your percentage plus the fuel surcharge. I don't know your percentage, but you are getting like 96% of the $304 so you are apparently getting your percent plus fsc.
chalupa Thanks this. -
You've made my point, " driver doesn't get fuel money" so dealing strictly with the gross the carrier reports the bill as $254 gross to me and cut off that.....the company driver gets 25% of the billing which is $76 or the gross is $304. Hard not to see a $50 skim there.
And if they are skimming here then my second paragraph appears supported. And yes I know, can't do anything about it and even trying too would be political suicide so ya.....I'm just pushing hot air around.
tks... -
I thought you were saying he ran 4 loads a day for 304 per day. 10 per week would not be a good job.
-
With the numbers you are giving it looks like you are getting 85% + FSC so everything seems good unless you were told that you would be paid more than that
-
Hi chalupa, the wonderful world of trucking(and O/O). When I had my truck, I was leased to a guy in Green Bay,(in the late 80's, early 90's) which seemed like we were company drivers with our own trucks, and regardless of what HE got for a load, we had an insider in the office, that saw the boss tapping on his calculator, .87 cpm, that's good enough for them, he'd say, when we knew that load paid over a dollar/mile.

Could somebody tell a newbie what 'FSC' is?
