    I wish I could answer that. The worse case scenario is $1.52 loaded and $1. a mile empty. Thats a straight. But, what about short loads? Min $500. Max ? % or flat? Our deadhead is more like 30% and $2. a average on all miles most time, at 80% So as confused as I am right now I would bet the...

    just a few questions for the senior expeditors

    60/40 split? Of? .30 a mile deadhead? Plus Free miles to reposition? What about the line haul revenue? Problem with the 60/40 split? Sure, it protects the owner, not the driver. As most companies, for example the big company that advertises on the home page of EO says $1.6 a mile plus FSC for...

    It applies 24hrs after the driver completes a 11hr restart or falls on the 34hr restart the next day. I dont think I worded that properly. If the driver comes off a 11hr and sits for a 24hr period, he will collect on that 24hrs. There is no wait. That applies for company drivers only, because...

    getting into expediting

    Having my own food concession stands I would say STAY AWAY! lol. It's a great seasonal return, but it's just that, seasonal. Having my own expedite company also, I would always suggest take the gaurantee and the least overhead. Just be a driver for a great company that can meet your needs. I...

    My experience as a fleet owner with a driver. I pay the driver 30% of everything. Example, load pays $2.00 a mile plus FSC of $.40 the driver receives 30% of $2.40. Equals about $.72 per mile. We are paid $1.00 a mile on all d/h miles driver would receive $.30 a mile. Detention is paid @ $20 a...

    A.Blair Enterprises

    I have worked with A Blair in the past. They have handled all of our loads successfully and ontime. Their O/O's where courteous and always made their check calls. From our experience they seem like a great company and understand their responsibilities to critical freight. From talking to...

    Need Seasoned Expeditor Mentor

    Watch the little cost that add up. What do they pay for deadhead. How many miles until they cover it. Are their admin fees (weekly,biweekly,monthly). DO they require a escrow. I hear too many horror stories that it never gets reimbursed. Make sure your getting at least a $1. per mile for...
