Don’t work for free. Write up bol and quote them a price. If they don’t want to pay get it off my truck or haul it yourself. Used to have this happen all the time. Reason they are doing it is because it saves them money. Did it a few times at first till I got tired of them wasting my time. And I was a company driver. Time management is essential now with Elogs.

 

When I was a shipping manager any run under a hundred miles I quoted at an hourly rate. Loading and unloading times don’t change and they become a larger percentage of the under load time. In my experience getting unloaded at a yard verses a job site was much quicker. Job sites have a way of eating up your day. How much money do you want to gross per day. Figure every run is going to be a minimum of three hours by the time you load, drive there and unload. Don’t forget those extra miles going back to where you started if you went out of route. Start high and go down.

 

Sort of the same thing not long ago. I deliver to a job site they want me to drop my trailer and will unload later. Nope not happening I run a side kit trailer and no one is going to take it apart but me and also I’m no a warehouse on wheels and I need to use my trail to make my living. They refused the load. I call shipper it was prepaid by them they say that was not the deal bring it back I did and as soon as I return to shipper they want load back they paid again to have delivery same day $800 on 100 miles was nice and have delivered to jobs for them sence no issues

 

They want the truck and trailer?

Pay me. Otherwise honey has no time for you.

 

Very reasonable request, large companies charge extra couple hundred $’s for extra stop + 100+ hourly for time. If your leased on with company that should all be your money, carrier your leased to had there profit in original contract. Unfortunately, it usually doesn’t happen this way
