    Are rates for the truck or the load?

    when I was with FDCC rates were for the load,that went in a certain size truck.If an E unit did a D load,he got D rate.If I did a C load,I would get a C rate,unless they would bump it to a D,and that didn't happen very much.Bottom line,if the rate didn't loose money,I could do it.Here at Tri...

    Tips from owner-operators
