Lets just make this real simple...... Most of us that have been doing this any amount of time.... Know once you quit your owner for whatever reason... Your most likely getting the shaft.... Because they can do it and there is not alot we can do about it....

Have you ever thought about it.. I mean when your in the truck the owner kinda treats you kinda good. I mean there might be some pay issues but atleast you get some kind of a check. because i think they are afriad of all the things you could to screw them. Selling fuel or things in the trucks...

When i posted this. What i was upset about is the fact you go out there and bust your butt on the road for weeks at a time. And when its time to come home or get paid some owner feels like your giving them the shaft. Because you want your money or home time whatever the case might be. But here...

when we spoke on the phone it seemed like the normal 60-40 split. but when it came time to sign the contract. he said due to the tough times he made some changes to the contract. which was if we didn't run 3000 miles per week we was going to be paid 55% and anything less than 1500 we made 50%...

I know its the sameol story.. your going to work for a new owner and you have asked all the question you think you should have asked. after the class and your going to sign the contract and he says oh sorry i kinda lied about what i was going to pay you 1st red flag and he knows he has you stuck...

i just called about a broker load going from Indy to Wash st little over 2300 miles now this was an LTL load weight about 2000 and they wanted to pay 175 and i talked to them and they went up to 200 dollars not sure what really breaks down to but just thinking off the top of my head like maybe 2...

when i 1st wrote this i was a little unclear. when i started talking to this owner it was a pretty common 60/40 split but when it came time to sign the contract there was an clause to this contract. which states if we as a team do not run 3000 miles a week we drop from 60% to 55% and that is for...

dave when u get a sec check the pm box thanks

A friend of mine. Told me that he was going to work for a new owner. but here is the catch if he runs less than 3000 miles as a team the owner starts knocking off a like 5%. because he said due to the tough times he needs that extra cash to run the business. But during the good times if they...

I'm in a D unit and i get paid 1.20 for all loaded miles ran. until the change comes into effect at that point the rate is going to be lowered to 1.05 for the customers they already have and 65% of the broker loads which if lets say they are paying 2 or 3 bucks a mile i get 65% of that but...

I'm not sure what to make of this Tri- State is going to take away the flat rate of 1.20 pre mile and drop it to 1.05 but u get 65% of the line haul on all other loads. I'm just trying to figure out which makes me the most money. I have been looking around here and i see some other companies...

I think there are owners who prey on new drivers. Knowing good and well they are not going to pay them. And too the compaines they work for I.E the big 3 or one of the smaller ones they have nothing to say about it because your a contractor not a real employee either way for a new driver or...

no i don't mind i'm 6'4 and go about 340. i know thats kinda a big guy but i seen larger out here

well i worked for an owner at panther and this is where he and i had problems on almost every load the FSC being an estimated charge 90 % of the time is was always lower than what panther had quoted. so the moral to this story is since i never got to see the pay sheet only what he told me they...

See the one good thing about owning my truck is i can use whatever speed i like. and if the company tries to tell me i need one then me and my truck go someplace else

When i took my dot phyical less than a week ago my blood pressure was 130/ 78 passing Did the caugh and turn your head for the males out here and passed that. Nothing wrong in the pee test and in the drug test as well. So i thought things were going fine. Then they told me after there doctor...

I just went to work for a big company. And passed the dot and drug test. But the company said they was not taking my dot which i found kinda odd but never the less they didn't take it because they said they had tougher guide lines than the dot ok whatever. But i guess the question in all of this...
