Bennett Motor Express

With your stepdeck, how many actual stepdeck loads are you pulling vs a flat load that goes on a step? also how often do you have to use your ramps?

 

For me....at least 5:1 step to flat loads and probably more. The longer you pull a step the more tall freight you’re likely to haul. It kind of becomes the thing they call you for.

I think I’ve only used ramps 2-3 times in a decade. I could’ve used them more but I am unwilling to haul RGN freight for SD money and they are unwilling to pay RGN money to a SD.

 

I'm not sure about the percentage of fb vs sd that I've hauled but I do know that most of the fb freight that can't fit on my sd is to heavy anyways. I can load up to about 44,500. As for ramps I use them quite often as I have no problem pulling them out for the rates that I am getting.

 

Yeah thanks guys. I pulled a stepdeck for about 7.5 years I was just wondering how it was currently for you guys. Last pulled SD in 2017

 

Where's your picture taken at? Bellemont, AZ? just west of Flagstaff?

 

That is Whiteface Mountain near Lake Placid, NY. Mount Mansfield and Stowe, VT are at my back.

 

Oh yeah ok, Very nice. have been there too

 

Bennett seems like a solid company but my last company (1 year ago) put them on the no pull list because our factoring company blacklist them due to payment issues. This is odd.

 

Guessing you're about 2 years with Bennett, just checking to see if you are still doing well.
