What is 88% of the load mean?

those are deductions. just a quad comm at $10/week. Ignore maintenance fund

 

ouch... at that percentage I am surprised they charged for anything at all. But that is how it goes. You either pay for that stuff out of the percentage they take or they take a smaller percentage and you pay for it out of your higher cut. It's a lot of searching to find the right balance between the two in any company out here that is leasing on operators.

 

that's why i was so confused. if i was making $4000 with dry van running otr how on earth can northeast reefer pay me the same thing?????? it makes no sense

 

Hard to say. I think everyone's numbers, real numbers that they pull in, are always going to be different even two guys at the same company. And $4,000 gross revenue, before fuel comes out, might be very good or it might be very bad. You can't really pin point it without knowing exactly what and where the freight was hauled to.

 

Do they allow you to call the brokers directly and negotiate the rates? If so this could be a very good deal snatching up $2-$10 bucks a mile freight in the NE.

Don't worry about paying the plates/ifta/2290/prepass/tolls/trailer rent-- we all do whether we are lease op/company driver/owner operator whatever any driver pays for all those things regardless. Some pay it upfront like in this case and others are paid a lower rate and the company pays those things for the driver who never sees it and thinks it is a free benefit but it is not. Trust me all drivers are paying for the trailers and tractors out here and the full overhead for the companies.

 

holy jumpin fricking shootballs. that is a lot of deductions

 

So, did Interstate terminate you or just won't let you do self-dispatch?

Will they let you back on self-dispatch after a period of time? If so, stay there and get yourself back on their good side. At least for now.

 

If company drivers average .42 at 26% that's roughly 1.62 per mile .. so I'd assume A owner op gets close to the same before company grabs its 12% and many deductions .. if it's northeast regional you probaly have a ton of short trips and sitting as well

 

Before I read any comments 714/week is rape my friend. that truck is going to leave you broke.
