Message:: [QUOTE="slow.rider, post: 11363486, member: 196102"]Quite a few times I've stacked tolls, loading, unloading and even securement too, all one one run.  And I saw a YouTube video where a reefer driver did that plus got some more for sorting and segregation. I was doing van until recently and eventually developed the understanding that corporate generally won't look twice as long as there's no line item above $150 and total accessories aren't more than about 20% of linehaul.  And on van loads within those parameters, the added accessories were typically just pulled out of the linehaul as a way to bump driver net, as opposed to tacking them on and hitting up the customer for the extra - my reason being that when trying to get more cash out of customers on a van load, the most common result was the load would get covered by someone else before you could strike a deal.  So I would usually keep it between me and the agent, pillage the linehaul for accys, get the deal done in a single phone call, and once in a while they'd tack a little extra on somehow. But now that there's only a handful of trucks doing what I do, maybe the shoe is on the other foot.  Time will tell.[/QUOTE]
