I get run in and out of Canada more than I really care for now, but it's just part of the life.

You mean work like $1.20/mi plus 65% of FSC? Sorry... but I have to work for a living.

$1.20 a mile?
Seriously?
I think nothing less than $2.50 a mile and 100% of FSC is justified for going into Canada and DH back to the states to be harassed by the US customs' agents. If it is local like Romulus to say Windsor, $500 is the least amount of money that should be offered - no RPM stuff.

$1.20 per mile, for Canadian runs? That is BEYOND funny! More like a joke. My wheels don't role for that for INSIDE U.S. loads that DON'T have border problems. $1.20 per mile is SUBSTANDARD. Willing to work for that? BE ASHAMED!
hey now..they'll double you up and pay you a drop charge...
I spent 5 yrs with that outfit....now Transforce aka TST owns them

Aint going to happen,,no FSC on second drop..Like OVM said sometimes just a drop charge is added to 2nd drop even if its 100 miles off route to long haul..Fsc usaully only comes into play on the longest haul when on a double drop.Best ya could hope for is 65% of the short haul with no FSC.
100% (contracted rate) Long haul Plus FSC
65% of 2nd or just a drop charge. (NO FSC on the 2nd)

I was joshin. No way would I work for those rates.
500$ for a 56 mile round trip........i don't know many carriers out there that could offer those rates.
Aside from popular belief Dynamex Expedite based in Cambridge, ON pays owner operators 69% of customer billing + 69% of fsc. This is the rate that has been paid to our Canada based c/b straight truck drivers for years.
That is it? You offer up one example?
I contracted with you guys for over 5 yrs...I know how it goes...
Still doing them nasty Purolator pick ups down here? With the excuse.."at least they cover your fuel to get back to Canada"

The percentages mean nothing, I'll run all day for 50% of $3/mile before I would 69% of $1/mile.

I do and that's almost what I get for my trips to Windsor and it is a lot less than 56 miles. I think round trip is 45 miles.
When you are asking a owner to tie up their truck for at least three hours, then there should be more compensation than $1.20 a mile and a percentage of FSC is a losing rate.
Not knocking the company you seem to represent, but it seems that maybe there isn't a lot of competition for the trucks and you can charge that lower rate.

Is this the same "Dynamex" that runs ads on Craigslist here in the DFW area EVERY WEEK that promises $1200-$1500 a week pay rates????? (I was going to post the website, but decided not too....
)If so.....why can't you guys keep your drivers positions filled down here?? I mean, come on'....If the pay was really in the $1200-$1500 range for local work, why the high turnover rate??? I'd get back out myself doing local stuff IF the pay really was that good.
Truth/Reality is.....1200-1500 MILES a week on the local freeways for a $277.96 paycheck.
You're only paying 69% of the Fuel Surcharge to the Expeditors up North??? That's CHICKENSH........, IMO.
