$0.85 a mile to pull a reefer!

Just out of curiosity.....
Why Mexico?

 

It's warm there I heard.

 

I wonder if he's allowed to talk on the phone in his own truck?

 

As long as he stays out of view of the camera he should be fine.

 

Collision avoidance / lane change drift / overspeed gizmos paid by company?

 

Of course not. .03 per mile and that comes out of the 0.85. If he is eligible at the end of the lease for zero occurrences they will refund 50% of that.

 

Balloon on tractor?

 

Can't be mad at Stevens, if you got a bunch of Idiots beating down your door to fleece your truck and be compensated that rock bottom rate, why offer anymore money? No need to.

 

If you get enough of them you might be able to scale more weight and maybe turn a profit. If you don't have a slight headwind.

Worse case scenario I guess you could tether the entire lot of balloons to the drivers chair and when the scale says pull around back you just hit the eject button and float away.
