Hello, I am a Canadian van expediter who drives for a fleet owner. I get paid a percentage of our gross revenue, with no taxes taken out of my pay. Last year was my first year expediting and I made about $40,000 CAD (About $30,000 USD). I went to H&R Block today to get an idea of what I will owe...

I think most people who do it simply enjoy the lifestyle of living on the road and aren't in it for the money. I've run the numbers and I firmly believe that very few van expeditors (probably less than 10%) are netting more than 40,000 a year (USD). And when you factor in all the waiting time...

I work for a small carrier. I don't think they even look for loads on the weekend as our office is closed Saturday and Sunday. I've been trying to move to a larger carrier for a while, but I've called the recruiters at every reputable company I can think of and none of them are taking on more...

Yes, nothing really moves on the weekends. I have been in expediting for nearly a year, and I have never gotten a load on a Saturday or a Sunday. Literally not a single one. So what I do on the weekends is either deadhead home if I'm close enough, or I get a hotel for Saturday and Sunday...

Probably in the classifieds section of this website. I may be interested. I will send you a PM

I've been stuck in Charlotte, North Carolina since Friday. If I don't get a load today, it will be a record for me for longest I've ever waited.

This has also been my best week in a long time. Glad that things are finally picking back up after how painfully slow the month of May was for me.

I was thinking the same thing as I was reading those posts. I don't know how they could possibly make a living with those costs, unless they are with a company that is paying a very high rate per mile.

In case any of you were wondering, it paid $0.89 per mile. I feel like that’s a fair rate for a daytime run, but not so much for an overnight run. Especially one where I had hardly any time to waste.

Of course not. I’m getting a bit fed up with the company I’m with to be quite honest. But I’m viewing it all as a learning experience as this is still my first year in expediting. I’m strongly considering switching to a different company just to see if the grass is greener.

I made it with 40 minutes to spare

Oh yeah I will. I’ve never been close to falling asleep at the wheel or anything like that. For me, the exhaustion often doesn’t kick in until after the run is completed.

Well, I usually just sit and wait when that happens. Don't get me wrong, we do have some of our own customers. But I would say that about 80% of the loads I take are overflow from large carriers.

^^^ I was using US dollars
