Xpo drayage pay in Chicago?

Just curious, what do you mean by this?

 

Steamship

Steamship lines are constantly looking for the cheapest company to move their cans.

 

I mean, what are "ramp moves"?

 

I always thought ramp moves were MT to customer, load to rail. This is where customer controls rate. Steamship moves are loads out of rail to customer. Steamship usually controls rate on those moves.

 

So, exports pay better than imports???? or ramp moves in the case of '53's............

I'll have to keep an eye on that....and see....

Honestly, last couple of years what I've seen:

International's(20', 40', 45') pay better than domestics (53'). They're more work (chassis splits and such) but they pay substantially better...

Rates are not the same from company to company....Yan Ming, ZIM, CMA, Hyundai, CSX, JB Hunt, Schneider...they are all paying different rates...and the drayage companies....don't even get me started on that topic....

 

Domestic and export are completely different animals. Domestic will almost always pay less.

 

Thats kinda true, I've worked out of LPC and G4 back In the day and now I'm doing domestic out on CSX and BNSF in Chicago, I use to make 2500 to 3500 steady after deductions working with ocean freight and now 1500-2300 working with domestic freight.

 

But we're getting off

we're getting off the subject here,, does any one know the rates and fs XPO pays? And do they give the owner operators plenty of work?

 

I have a friend there, I'll text him for the specifics.

 

Ramp moves are where the steamship line is paid to get the container to the railyard, then the cargo owner takes it from there. So the trucking company either deals with a freight forwarder, or the customer directly.

Door moves are when the steamship line handles the move from door to door.

I spent a year in customer service back in 98 at Pacer, helped me learn some insights.
