Getting sprinter van after otr for $1.00 a mile pay?

Even if the broker charges customer $1.70.... then the broker will give it on Sylectus to the dispatcher for 1.10. By the time it makes it to you... well you get it

 

Sure do. But I was talking about $1.70 to the truck

 

For a sprinter? Forget about it. Most 26ft trucks dont make that. A lot of eaters in that chain

 

Uh, I have an ear on someone making 1.41 $US all miles. Course we're in Canada, so there's that

 

Btw carriers aren't accepting $1.70 per mile for expedite straights. Just trust me on that....

 

1.41 canadian is 1.06 US. Here in US you wouldn't be able to make that bit I can understand why the rate is higher in Canada. Road are worse. Speeds are slower and weather conditions are often harder. Most importantly gas is more expensive so there is why there is a difference though with all that I would think they would pay you even more!

 

No. That's why I said $1.41 US

 

No one is expediting for less than FTL rates. Are there any lanes paying less than $2 a mile to a carrier? (I gotta watch it, I know nothing of trucking, just expedite)

 

Expediters an semi trucks ha e different rates on FTL. Let me make is simple for you. Customer hires a broker who goes to sylectus and give the load to a dispatcher who then gives it to the driver. Sometimes there is even more people on that chain. So by the time the driver gets it and I am talking about small straight trucks now. (Big straights which are 20ft to 26ft get more. Sprinter Van's get less). So the small straights get anywhere from 1 to 1.40 a mile. Now that said it's about long hauls meaning at least over 500 miles. When you get a shortie all that math goes out of the window. I just drove a load from Reno to Santa Cruz for over $3 a mile. How? I often run into short loads that pay over $2. There are factors I take into account before I bid with a dispatcher. Weather conditions, weight, area. You gotta understand that your only bargainng chip often is that you are the only one in the area and they need it delivered. There is a lot more to it but as you drive more you get a "feel" for the market

 

Thanks for the explanation
