    My HAZY understanding of the company side (it's been a few years, the miles jar the memory outta you, things change, and it was reefer division) you get paid the team rate for your division... best ask your FM what that is. Then there's team mileage bonus, and fuel bonus... plus your accessorial payments, like tarping.

    Team mileage is 10-cpm for all miles over 3500... probably split 50-50. Fuel bonus I'm sure you know about, and I believe that would be split 50-50.

    Oh!! In that case we'd probably have to swap out yard tarps like we do when we drop a load off at the yard... My guess anyway...

    Can't wait to see one!

    Whats with all these Prime guys hanging their tarp straps (bungies) on the outside of their racks. They are natural rubber and the sun will kill them if left out like that. :biggrin_25513:

    I've seen a lot flats doing that I always keep mine inside the rack just the way I do it.....skellr what do you think about strapping the tarps to the trlr instead of putting them in the holder on d rack

    I had my bar stolen off the side of my rack. Everything goes inside the rack now.

    I see most guys strap their tarps to the deck I prefer to put them rack but I guess some guys don't have a choice especially if their headache isn't setup for it

    Saw a truck the other day at sprimo then ... Somewhere in the field. Cannot for the life of me come to me where we were...

    Anyway...

    This guy had a newer rack, with two doors. The top however was one of the 2010 side boxes. Thought that was freaking beautiful. Makes me wanna chop off the top of my rack and do the same!
