No if you have a six digit trip number put a zero in the front......

 

I don't fill out trip sheets or bubble anything. Why would I go to a Truckstop to scan my bills when I can take a pic from my phone.

 

True.... same here. when I type in my trip number and its 6 digits... you always put the zero in front.

 

I've never put the zero in the front so I guess it doesn't matter.

 

Even on the app, I just put in the 6 numbers, but I didn't know you didn't need a trip sheet on the app? That will help a little. To think about it the only time I have had problems getting paid were a few time agents would get the trip numbers mixed up, or sometime I would get the numbers mixed up, usually if doing multiple load to the same place. Also make sure that you turn in all the pages, if it says page 1 of 6, they are going to want to see all 6 pages

 

When I direct scan from the truck, it automatically fills in a zero in front of the FB number if needed.

 

What is the going percentage for drivers? Would that percentage change if the BCO is getting 72 or 65%?

I'm looking at an option that pays 30% of truck gross to the driver, and is said to avg $1200/wk. I think that's a bit low for a 1099. I'd have to gross $4000 to the truck for that.

 

65% of LH for the tractor, 7-9% depending on type if you have your own trailer, and 100% of fuel and certain other accesorials. If you play your cards right it's not hard to get 80% or more of gross.

I wouldn't waste time leaving the house for $4k a week.

 

I think you misunderstood me. I'm looking at a job driving for a fleet owner on with LS.

 

Yeah I did misunderstand. I might know a guy but you'd have to have some open deck experience.
