Higher pay for Florida loads FEMA pay?

I don’t care how good FEMA loads pay, I’m not interested in sitting in a holding area for days on end, while these government morons try and run the show. I did a FEMA load a few years ago in Texas, what a freaking clown show. No thanks.

 

How? You want extra when the company makes extra but won’t take less when the company makes less? Fair is fair, right?

 

They should be paid by the hour loads, $500 hour regardless if driving or sitting.

 

I haul jet fuel to some of the airports being used for the recovery.
No issues, no waiting, load a additional 800 gallons, in and out with no problem.
Would I haul anything else for FEMA , state etc? Probably not.

 

Fuel hauling really is great.

 

Potable water was paying $3000 to go and $1400 a day
Last year $2500 a day whether you moved or not.
Somebody is getting greedy...

 

Still saw $2 a mile loads flying off the board to Florida

 

Brokered a Tampa yesterday and it took a bit more then normal to move it. So, yes rates are up some temporarily for reefer atleast. 2.50 ish

 

Are you hauling a fema type load?

If your hauling products not needed or affected by this then I would say business as usual

If you’re hauling necessities like generators. Water. Etc then the pay goes up

But a truckload of Doritos? Maybe not so much

 

Doritos are not needed, but ice cream, cheddar cheese, and chocolate milk are vital.
