Quality Carriers tank line

You need to ask about the terminals in your area . Every location is different . A large percentage of terminals are affiliates and you do not actually work for Quality . From my experience , I've seen O/O's get more deadhead and be the first to feel slowdowns . Quality does have a minimum rate per mile for O/O's though . Google Quality Distribution for their website . I'm sure your aware O/O's for tanker carriers have the added expense of adding a pump and compressor to their trucks although our fleet has heavy duty factory compressors on our trucks and don't need auxiliary pto driven compressors . They also have a lease purchase program

 

We pulled for QC for 3yrs in the '90s. It was a great comp. We were at a minimum of a $1.05pm which was good at the time. The big problem I had was home time. I worked under Tom Woodall out of the system term. Great guy. Was one of the best jobs I ever had. Just home time wasn't there.

 

That's what I meant by every terminal being different . Most of our loads are in a 500 mile radius and dedicated . Hook to a preloaded trailer and drive close to consignee one day . Deliver the next morning and be home that night . We have a few within a 250 mile radius . Out and back the same day .

 

that would be q.c. I have a regional run,550 mile rounder,and work on percentage. The contract with the shipper provides a very genorous fuel surcharge. With the new fuel stabilazion program i will lose aabout 20c p.m, combined with lack of miles that is a little hard to swallow. au revois q.c.

 

You may be on to something here. I have heard rumors that companies are not happy with any of the proposed FSC laws that would require the money to pass through to the user.
