When I was at Con-Way Now the tractors were on a flat rate $1.05 per mile loaded or empty,and we didnt give any miles away.That was for all dispatched miles.The actual revenue was a far cry from the money we were paid.The year after I started there, sometimes we even got a fsc,but we did so many...

As said,before leaving shipper,both parties need to talk about where they are stopping,directions they are going,and most of all the speed they will drive.At $4.00 per gallon,when I do an escort load,if the other party cant agree on the speed,then I call dispatch and either find another...
