CSA 2010: The data

I think that was his point. OOIDA was sitting with their thumbs where the sun don't shine just as they are now.

 

Makes you wonder where all those dues go.

 

Will companies/drivers in Mexico and Canada be held to the same standard as the U. S. companies/drivers? I hope the answer to this question is...."Of course they will be!"

 

If not, I see a big business for Americans getting a license to drive in Mexico....

 

Yes and no. If they operate in the US the answer is yes, of course they will be.

 

With the way the insurance companies work down there? Hell no, find another sucker.

 

im getting ready to go work for a carrier that will pay me 23% of gross on every load....is that reallllly any better?

we need to be paid a salary based on days you are either on the road or available for dispatch. if you're in the truck or available for a load (Incase you get off hometime and put yourself on available but there isnt a load available for a day...etc.....you still ought to get paid...) you get paid. this way you are paid the same no matter how fast you drive.

300 per day would be great.....

 

Its pretty hard to give you an answer without knowing the freight rate.23% of a buck a mile is only 23 cpm.It also depends if it is of the gross without any deductions before you get your cut.

 

I've red from a few different sources that rates will have to go up , partly because the effects of regulations and rising costs of equipment are raising operational costs considerably . If you're paid percentage you get a raise when rates go up . Whether drivers paid by the mile will get more money is another question .

 

Dues as well as advertising revenue from magazine and radio ads , kickbacks from insurance companies and fuel cards , etc .
