Why would a carrier show the rate con?

I’m wondering why a carrier would consistently send a company driver a rate confirmation?

Wouldn’t that just piss off the driver to know just how much they are bringing in compared to a cents per mile pay?

Imagine seeing a rate con for $8000 or so and knowing your getting the cents.

hmm... please explain.

 

Not all company drivers get paid by the mile

 

If you are being paid a percentage you need to know how much it is.

 

What if your being paid by the mile, not percentage, it’s not your truck and your not paying fuel, etc. Why show it then?

 

It could be that the one in question is being overly "transparent.",
letting the driver know "everything", that don't amount to a hill of beans.
Once this assumption is accepted by that driver, he will not longer question
other things the might effect his net pay, boss is honest and trustworthy.

In my younger days from high school, I had 3 adults offer me propositions
that would make me rich... Poor dumb me wondered if this was; the way,
and if so.,why were they not doing it themselves.

I passed, found me a job; changed to a better one when their promises failed to
mareralize, and continued on into life working.
I am 85, retired and comfortable till 95 at present financial assets and expenses.

Probably die by or before then. But..
.
I went to work, did my best, made them an excellent hand in trucking, U.S.Army,
small loan company management/supervision, equipment sales/service.
When they failed, I sought out others, gave notice, told them why when asked
"Why are you leaving", moved on.
Started our own equipment used sales/repair/rental with 2 friends. Ran it 14 years,
sold to name brand dealer and retired.
Trust everyone, but cut the cards twice.... Then watch closely how he deals them.
Can learn a lot by listening and watching what you are being told. Trucking is
a good training ground of how to avoid the worst encounters. I learned all I needed
to know after the 2nd trip out.

 

Say that driver produces $200,000 in revenue in a year. The driver costs $85,000 (he/she “grosses” say $65,000), maintenance and repairs cost $20,000, tolls cost $15,000, fuel cost $90,000, tags/permits cost $1,600, insurance $10,000, truck payments costs $35,000

Then calculate the cost of the office building, yard, shop, drop lots, security, all office staff, electric, internet, phone service, elog system, etc...

so you produced $8,000 in revenue. Good job, keep it up a lot of mouths depend on the revenue you’re generating!!

 

It may be that the driver gets paid percentage.

Or it may be that the company is used to sending the rate confirmation to owner operators, and so they simply pass it along to company drivers as well for the sake of keeping things simple for dispatch and IT.

BTW, I know the rates for all of the loads haul and it doesn't piss me off. First, there's no reason why it should. And second, I understand that there are a lot more expenses to keeping the company in business and the truck rolling than just my pay.

Since you have access to the rates, you should use that information to your advantage by requesting the better-paying loads and providing those customers with an extra level of service.

 

So what if you driving for someone based off percentage+$70-$30 split and they has never shown you nothing. And they taking the fuel out of your weekly gross first then paying your $30?

Man I’m glad that camera was pointed at the floor!
