Yeah, something must be off with that load offer. As a van driver, the lowest a load would pay is $85 plus fuel surcharge on all miles, plus deadhead pay if applicable.

After almost 6 years at the Fed it was time for me to go. What a ride! When I started, I made money, well, lots of them. Then the powers to be decided that we should get a flat rate fuel surcharge instead of 100% of it. Took a hit there. Then later on came the flat rate instead of percentage...

Phil, good luck at Landstar. I hope you do as good as you did at FedEx, or even better. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

Jim, I know what you are saying about dedicated and flat rate. I think that for a reason or another the dedicated guy that usually does that load (it was an LG load) was not available and it was offered to other trucks. So my friend got it, and after that, the regular guy came available. Just...

After declining rates and opportunities (possibly caused by flat rate trucks), this was the last straw for a TT contractor. This week he got an opportunity for a short load, accepted it and got it. 10 min later he got a call from FedEx that they took him off the load because they gave it to one...
