Dispatcher/Company my truck is leased to

They're going to charge you something for letting you run under their authority, finding you loads, and all the other things they do. Do you run their base plates, for instance? I've seen owner operators charged anywhere from 7% to 25% of a load.

Fair is irrelevant, though. Fair doesn't even enter the equation. What does your contract say that they can charge you? If you signed on with them to haul for 20% of the load, then they could charge you 80% off the top. Whatever you signed up for is what you're going to get, fair or not fair.

Not trying to bust on you, but you bought a truck and leased it on somewhere without knowing this? Did you think a company just set up shop to help guys out who went out and bought trucks? I doubt it's a hobby for them. Of course they're going to make some money off of you.

 

10% for using their authority is fairly common.

 

hey there,if ur an exp o/o i need to ask a few ques.i,m new to this and i wanna get rolln quik,plez contact me ASAP call me plez at 302 439 3794 my name is gary thank you

 

I pay my own plates, insurance, fuel tax (they file it) run my own trl and I pay 10% it's fairly common rate for when you pay most of your own stuff. Some of the companies that pay all that for you and run their trailer charge upwards of 35% or more


and it's fuel, not gas

 

SO a company that will take 10% for dispatch and another 10% for running under their authority and ins. and fuel surcharge pulling their reefer is OK? I as well was approached asking that if I were to buy my own truck I would get hired on pulling reefer and sometimes a grain trailer. Not sure if I want to. Still would like to research more on this. WOuld there be a O/O guide for dummies, for me?
