Any one hear anything good / bad or indifferent about these guys . I'm doing allot of due-diligence and thinking about them pretty heavy .
Heres what I've found out just as TX Sliver did
75% of 100
150 week trailer rental ( van ) they also will lease Flats / Steps same price .
100% FSG ( currently 41 cpm avg )
75% billed extras ( detention stop offs )
plate program ( 15-20 weeks payment plan )
you buy your insurance ( bob - physical dam , occ acc )
cargo/ liability ( provided and included in the 75/100 rate not a extra )
logs / paper ( but you can do driver daily logs on computer if you prefer )
truck inspections ( paid )
permits ( you pay )
tolls ( you pay )
pre pass ( aval )
AVG gross rates ( not including fuel )
VANS = north of 2.00 ( avg )
Flats = north of 2.20 ( avg )
FSG is roughly ( 41 now )
loaded rates ( not per running mile ) I got some actual quotes but didn't want to put a carriers rates out here like that .
this is just based off the numbers I was given , I don't know it to be the gospel
Other discounts
tires = Tango Discount
Pilot = 0.10 off cash price
loves = 0.03 " "
TA = ?
VANS = basically run on a dedicated account they have had for years weight around 10k to 30k loads
FLATS/ Steps = I think they can go all over
Any one else that. Can chime in please doLast edited: Aug 24, 2013

Vans are mostly the one account. You need to be fairly close to one of the DCs, since they do not live load/unload for interplant shipments. The trailer rent is actually a buy in to the trailer pool.
The flats I know are running into and out of Chicago for rolls or to the oilfields. Steady work. But I live in KY. Another group lives in LA, you would have to ask them what is moving in that area.
Some people book and run their own loads or their own small fleet. It's always an option.
You do your thing and they do theirs.US MARINE Thanks this. -
