Just curious on your roadside service repairs experiences. Best and worst repair companies out there and where they are located. I have had $200 repairs turn into $3300. repairs and had a company come out with a oversize crane and for 3hrs of service only charge $200. Thanks in advance!

Absolutely. I'm just not the best to explain. Gets lost in translation. Trying to keep Off OVM's radar. : )

Wrong person to ask to crunch numbers! I have not had my coffee yet. Im out of cream and too lazy to go get it.And anyways, I confuse myself, let alone anyone who tries to follow my jiber jaber. lol Lets just say we are profitable and very very very little turnover. Most my guys have been here...

I wish I could answer that. The worse case scenario is $1.52 loaded and $1. a mile empty. Thats a straight. But, what about short loads? Min $500. Max ? % or flat? Our deadhead is more like 30% and $2. a average on all miles most time, at 80% So as confused as I am right now I would bet the...

60/40 split? Of? .30 a mile deadhead? Plus Free miles to reposition? What about the line haul revenue? Problem with the 60/40 split? Sure, it protects the owner, not the driver. As most companies, for example the big company that advertises on the home page of EO says $1.6 a mile plus FSC for...

Thats my agreement at sign on. And I have honored it everytime. I dont work outside of a certain area. So when the customer calls on a specific lane they know the deal up front. Why send a truck to KS when their is no KS freight?? I lose money sitting a truck waiting for a load to come up...

It applies 24hrs after the driver completes a 11hr restart or falls on the 34hr restart the next day. I dont think I worded that properly. If the driver comes off a 11hr and sits for a 24hr period, he will collect on that 24hrs. There is no wait. That applies for company drivers only, because...

Having my own food concession stands I would say STAY AWAY! lol. It's a great seasonal return, but it's just that, seasonal. Having my own expedite company also, I would always suggest take the gaurantee and the least overhead. Just be a driver for a great company that can meet your needs. I...

My experience as a fleet owner with a driver. I pay the driver 30% of everything. Example, load pays $2.00 a mile plus FSC of $.40 the driver receives 30% of $2.40. Equals about $.72 per mile. We are paid $1.00 a mile on all d/h miles driver would receive $.30 a mile. Detention is paid @ $20 a...

Amazing!! I just signed on a fleet owner with the same complaints about the company he just left. Except he learned to deal with it, however after he received his 1st settlement after waiting 3 weeks for it their was a page of violations and fines for violating the "clock" , not submitting...

Married 11years this month and I'm still happy :D

This is true, Rob will be taking the vans and sprinters and we both will be involved in OnDekk. Although nothing new, it's not official just yet. We are working to set up and get prepared, some owners have been notified and some have not. Only certain circumstances warrant any notice right...

No, it still looks good. Just not on a large scale. I will admit, I thought I would do well. Just too many companies doin it dirt cheap. Keep it I say. Soon that division will be a thing of the ugly past. Sad really, that we can't go out to the market and get what cargo vans deserve. Never know...

Is not Bounce and CGL cheap freight? I remember back in the day visiting their office and they where busy working with Scheinder and them moving freight dirt cheap. In volume I guess it's ok, but my tractors need more than $.85cents a mile to operate. Who would wanna buy that market share?

Ok, Thanks, cause Premium lost someone lately.

Premium Transport Logistics?

It's always a bad situation when a contractor does not get paid. That's why we are out here workin. Hopefully you gave them enough time to work out the situation before bringing this out to the forum. It could be damaging to a good company that may of made a honest mistake or any other...
