Hi all, I am currently working under a company's authority as an o/o. I have my own authority, but I haven't used it. I have a step deck and know that I should get 2 bucks or more per mile. The company I use charges 15%, so I don't quite get the 2.
What I want to know is when calling the loads on the load board, when they give me a rate that is too low, what should I ask for? Is there a percentage that they would just say yes to?
I have also looked at dispatch services, but I can't find one that looks at all decent. Any recommendations?

I am always professional. That is required in life in general. -
I wouldn't move a tarp 6" for $15. My minimum to tarp is $100, and that's for an easy small piece, it goes up fast from there.
jldilley Thanks this. -
Do you set the fee up front? For a full load of lumber, how much would you charge
? -
That is right, I was going to try to be funny, and changed it. $25 -30 is good. You never get a roll up fee. Tarps are a useful tool. I fold mine right, and they fall down on the load. Use the wind as your work tool. A tarp will fall on the ground and use the wind to your advantage. Rain, & Snow, that's a different matter.

Your hauling their product, accept their terms, or decline the load.

If it's plywood, sharp edges, so padding is required to save your tarps, I would be at $150. Regular dimensional lumber with rounded corners, $100.281ric Thanks this. -
