RE: Would like to drive partime in the summer mont Dale, Actually, that would be a possibility. You could work half the year expediting and half the year hauling displays. As an owner operator all we ask is that you inform us when you are available and when you are out of service. Thanks...

Well I'll try and field this one. Broker based company is where the contractors contact the agents throughout the day informing them of their eligibility and of any preferences that may be needed. The rates may vary a little depending on the load and the agent, but apparantley things may be...

RE: abcwine, PantherRecrtr, dantherecruiter,HotFr8 Thanks Tony, If it helps any, we are 4 recruiters working for 4 different companies and are here to simply give a different look from the inside. If you would like particulars on each company, best thing to do is call and spend some...

Ditto on the response from pantherrecrtr. I would just like to add that most of the larger expediters do require you to get your hazmat endorsement. If it is not too much of a hastle for you, you might want to consider taking the test. Also, most of the expediting companies if not all allow...

Just to confirm, Tri-State does pay 100% of fuel surcharge to owner operators. Whatever fuel surcharge is billed, the owner operator gets all of it. abc

Pilgrim, Let it be known that Tri-State now pays according to what type of vehicle you operate. A D unit gets $1.15/mi no matter what type of load he or she is hauling. Thanks again, abcwine ps. I will answer the other questions tomorrow, I am getting bumped off the computer right now.

Hey Arky, A very small if not miniscule portion are HHG. Unfortunately, you can't change the mileage calculation of a customer until the contract is up. What I hear, whatever small part of HHG contracts are left, will be changed this year. ABC

Mcbride, Hello again, Tri-State does have a contractor relations department still and yes, you can find out how many units are in different areas to help make an educated decision on relocating. As far as online info for your truck, that is not available. If you are interested in primary...

Mcbride, Thanks for the questions. If you are a d unit, you will get paid a d rate at $1.15/mi. Even if you haul a c load. Alomst all the mileage is calculated pc. There might be 1 or 2 accounts that are under the old HHG, but those contracts will be renewed shourtly. Everything is...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you Davekc. Never is a strong word. Never made $1.10/mile huh. Never??? I would bet my life on it that you hauled some freight that paid you that if not more if you ran with Tri-State for a year and a half! Never saw the billing? Did you ever look at your...

Glad to see you are an expert on Tri-State. You should then know that 65% means contractors get paid 65% of the tariff. If you are talking about average loaded mile to a straight truck, it is more like $1.10. What are you talking about 10-15 percent difference? Sometimes you do less miles and...

Arky, Tri-State has changed management and no longer uses HHG miles for their runs. Try to get updated information on carriers when you are looking for companies to haul for. Good Luck

If you want fleet owners names and #'s, I can provide you with a few. You can call 800-831-8737 x1365. Good Luck

Hey van man, next time before you post something, get your facts straight. It is 675 miles for a cargo van and Mike was the only one who left the company and went back to otr after he drove a cargo van for Tri-State for about 7 years. He worked contractor relations for a year and wanted to go...

Did you ever think about looking into Tri-State? They're freight may pay a little less than Panther II's but the truck is usually rolling. A normal week for a team is $2,500-$3,500 and you do get paid every week and have a very reasonable insurance rate. Check it out!
