My opinion hasn't changed since this has started. For the rate the "bottom feeders" haul at, the exposure and costs are too high verses the return. If one wants to haul for other carriers, get with a carrier that allows you to run under their authority or get your own. The article is correct in...

Down goes the Nanny!

Some do it through third party billing as mentioned and some hold the line on the rate but skim the FSC. It goes on so much it is almost a common day practice with some nameless carriers.

Of course they are ok with drone strikes.

For someone doing it awhile I would agree. For someone new they might not recognize it if it was being done from the beginning. They wouldn't have anything to compare it to. I am not refering to any one company in particular.

By law they have to show the customer invoice. That is much different than whether they do or will. Doesn't matter on the mileage companies but it is a factor on a percentage paying one.

That is a shocker to me. I wasn't aware of any one at that rate other than the "all miles" folks. I stand corrected. Not sure why they can't get that changed? They don't even advertise at that rate.

That is kinda of a maybe. Many times it comes down to a percentage of what? We have done both and there are two sides to that coin. Many nameless carriers run loads through a dummy company they own just to drop the bill so the percentage is less. Some will show you the customer bills and some...

I guess all the current vanners are going to be fleet owners. :cool:

A "race to the bottom" is pretty much what that represents. As for Panther and 1.10 trucks, the only ones I have heard of at that rate were the 1.10 plus FSC for all miles. I am surprised anyone is on that plan any more but apparently a few still are? That is why it wasn't mentioned.

Are leased to a carrier? That number sounds high unless you are running under your own authority.

It changes weekly based on the DOE. Probably similar to what the Fed has. Others without it, the FSC is based on that individual load.

He could be if he is at the lowest base rate and on the structured FSC. Not all vans would be at that number.

If a team can do hazmat, rate should be 1.30 plus FSC which is high thirties to low forties right now. With an occassional luzer thrown in there that would be in the twenties. Deadhead is from the point of dispatch and that is .41 this week. Empty moves or relocation to another board would be...

Probably depends on their contract. They have van drivers that have been there for awhile at the .85 cent rate plus fsc. Same with straight trucks and rates. The lowest I think they have is 1.25plus fsc. Some are much higher. With regards to Panther, some hear one rate and think that is the...

The title can throw one off a bit.:D

One of the guys in the comment section had it right. They failed to address the increases in maintenance costs and the price of replacement vehicles. They probably need to go back and rethink that article. Wonder if E-1 cut their rates based on the perception in that article that drivers have...

High caliber Pop Tarts need to be banned.

When you take much of the complexity/spin out of these issues, it really does expose the real stupidity in which we govern.

I know.....I am so out of touch.;)
