Question about flatbed...

He didnt say they dont have them, he said the company keeps them confidential. All the Bol's that I have never have a price on them, but if I want to see a copy of the freight bill I can have them send me one.

 

Flatbed can be hard work, I personally wouldn't even tug a van around for that kind of rate, I make double what you do, and I personally know guys out there making alot more than me running a bed. If I were you I would find a new job and hit the bricks, your getting ripped off bad. goodluck.

 

Not sure if you said who you run for, but I pull a flatbed out of Seguin, TX. I make 25% of the load PLUS the fuel surcharge. Not alot of companies do that. There is no hiding of anything that I have seen that would affect my pay. I make almost triple what you are saying. And if I were to ask about a low pay or not as much as I had expected, we go over it right then. I can see any thing I ask for including rates.
I would start looking at other employers and do it quick.

 

If u get paid on percentage they are required by federal to show u if u ask I own four trucks and if I can't produce the conf. Sheet when asked they could be legal problems brought on.. So they have to prove to you what the load pays if not get a lawyer and call dept of labor ask what ur rights are..

 

The trouble with percentage is that you don't get paid for deadhead, only loaded miles. If you're doing a lot of deadhead miles then that's the problem. Other than that, legal help won't do you much good unless you have a written labor contract.
As the other driver pointed out, what you are hauling also makes a difference. Not everything pays well.
Doesn't really sound like job with a future to me. But just to be fair, when the economy is going good and there is plenty of freight, percentage can be good money.
