Where's u tankers loading at this morning

I hear ya there, man. I get a lil' weekend "bonus," as well. Usually the weekend runs get handled by the bossman himself; think he wants to enjoy the "holiday" , LoL! Be safe tho, you know how 'DAD'S' can be... any reason for beer and, not always responsibly....ie: on the road.

 

No,no,no,no,no. Still Company. I'm having a hard time understanding the O/O side of tankers. It's a wee bit more complicated than dryvan, IMO. I think my company used to have O/O running for them, but I know they double and triple broker loads so I'm not sure how much I would actually end up with. We have an awesome broker we go through, but I wouldnt want to quit as a company driver and then steal their loads from their own broker.

I like most of the loads we do, but we run a crapload of miles. I'd rather work less for more money than work more for less money.

 

Sooooo well said. Me too. Boss man's been trying to get me to buy 1 or 2 of his when he retires... jury is still out. Got a few 7 years. If the MAIN contract went with them, hmmm.. The UPI flats in the winter; probably would need that to survive, also. At least I've got time to think.
@Cat sdp ... what say you?

 

That's what kills me about split pay.
*The following every taken from a conversation last Friday in Tampa.
"We pay .51 cpm. You should come work for us"
No you don't.
"What? Yes we do!"
No you don't. You said the runs are out and back and You pay .51 going to the customer and .37 coming back. You actually pay .44 as a whole. You have a .14 difference total. Divide by two and and add that to the lowest amount or take it from the top, either way......you pay .44
"......but We pay .51......"

*sigh* I have to pee, I'll be right back *leaves, never to return again*


I have a lousy attitude towards split pay, sorry

 

Superior has split pay, but with all the accessorial pay it works out really nice. I averaged $.67/mi iirc as a company driver all in.

 

Accessories bla ...it's all built into the rate
