I have always had my lead drivers pick their team mates.I once had two guys fighting,they were sent to jail,and I had to go to a small town in Indiana to bail them out,and they were supose to have been close friends.As was said,living in a truck,24/7 is nothing like you have ever done before...

Jim Ive never seen the flat rate contract,just actually know about it from a close friend that since that time has sold his truck and retired.He was going to do the reefer thing,but to many stipulations,he got a good deal on his truck,he and his wife now are off the road.

Flat rate is soley for the company.Does anyone think as the rates get higher,the flat rate will increase,if you do,I have a bridge to Hawaii I would like you to invest in.One other thing,on a flat rate your loaded mile will increase and your dead head will diminish.Making you wander ,what your...

jj,I run solo,to be on the flat rate reefer ,you have to be team,after you pay co driver and the 5100 bucks you talk about,im clearing more running here at colonial

a flat rate was tried a few years back with some of the tractors,it didnt work,loads were still turned down.they put the trucks back on percentage.I think a straght truck at 1.30 / mile all in,loaded and empty,since their fuel mileage is much higher than a tractor could survive,but if you sit...

Im not at Tri State any longer,not because of them,but no truck.LAst year my revenue per mile was almost the same as it was at FDCC,I averaged $1.49 all miles,loaded and empty.Sure,Im in a tractor,what this was was 5200 dollars a week,.I'm now with a refridgerated company,leasing a truck from...

Phil unless something has changed,wai when I as there was 2% of gross every week Qc was 35 /week Bobtail was .03% of value plus 35 per month

Phil,does anyone honestly think its to the best interest to switch to a flat rate system.If FDCC thought the owner would make more money in flat rate? would they be offering it.? I don't think so.

I Owe It All To My Mother 1. My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE. "If you're going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished cleaning." 2. My mother taught me RELIGION. "You better pray that will come out of the carpet." 3. My mother taught me about TIME TRAVEL...

I was with FDCC 25 years tractor tailer,there is no answer for your question,Each abd every person at FDCC makes a different gross pay.Based how hard you want to work,what endorsements are on your license,how your truck is equipped,as fa as deductions,the usual,QC,Ins,HEalth Accident,and...

You think running on a flat rate you will run more miles,I dobt it.Last time they tried this,they had a riot amongs the tractor guys that tried it.THe only way a mileage program will work is with a sliding scale,short miles paying much more. New company I'm with,I tried flat rate,quit that...

amsoil synthetic,and their oil filter system is the best you can get.I ran a 1993 freightliner 100000 between actual oil changes.Cat had me do oil sample every month.Oil was always good,cat use to say every sample was bewtter than the previous one.I run GTX synthetic in my cars,as they only get...

expedite has always been a highpay low mileage system,but most loads with the dead head added in,need a team to deliver on time.When business is slow,most companies cater to the teams,so they don't loose them.If you need to stay solo,your going to have to do business out of the box.Start hauling...

if you have the same income for 350k as 500 k,your profit will be better at 350 k,less repairs

Greg,how can OVM have fixed costs across the board?miles cost :tires,fuel,repairs,those arent fixed costs,or does company pay all that

If your loads pay 3 bucks a mile,and you find your cost at 3.50,are you making money ,think not.If you do a flat rate,you better know your exact cost to running your truck.The more miles you run ,the lower the fixed cost will be per mile,but the variables will go up quite a bit.Those that work...
