What do you pay per mile or percentage to Sprinters, lower 48 coverage for long and tall vans? Weekly deductions?

If you have good work ethic hope and knowledge and the ability to stay open minded and learn from the one's that have been in the game since the beginning you can still have a chance.

I have 9 right now on board, yes try having all those people texting your phone at once but its only logistics gotta embrace the madness, coordinate and keep the wheels spinning. The Austin Tx based company does nothing to help the carriers, its simply a lyft or uber type company aka don't come...

Yes sir, heading out to So Cal gotta try and catch some Volvo straight truck drivers O/O's at the Ontario Petro for some tips. Florida Michigan/Chicago California with occasional trips to CO. Long hauls or local that's how I roll, all or nothing! ;)

Sounds like a steal of a deal for owner operators that don't want the pressure of high fees and deductions on off weeks assuming that is for owner operators. $35 a week for everything including cargo insurance? $ left over to pay the property damage bobtail... sounds reasonable.

How about V3 though in regards to deductions and how the loads work (Sprinter nationwide capable?), how do they size up to Millhouse? (another current topic) after I hit this post reply button I'm walking out the door to do a 1400 mile trip out west to LA, don't ask me what the dead head was to...

Heck we don't even have the actual photos of the 2018 Sprinter yet just the spy photos.

Sprinters don't even brake or steer for themselves right now. Why don't they let vehicles steer themselves at 55 mph + speeds on freeway and emergency brake when needed so I can relax more and watch the other controls in the cock pit :D No sense going from Automatic nothing to fully autonomous.

Good to know, I will use blue beacon strictly for the $5 undercarriage wash and stick to the hand wash technique.

The fees are having to pay your own cargo/insurance out of pocket which typically is deducted from most carriers with a "in house" all inclusive package offered referred to as weekly deductions or "fees".

Sign on fees are irrelevant, the fees I'm concerned about is the weekly settlement fees. Bolt is one of the lowest in the industry, but unfortunately they have adapted a panther mentality which drops drivers to bottom of board when you refuse a load. I was informed by a recruiter recently at Bolt.

Sir no need to interrogate me or justify my credentials in this industry. You seem more of a newbie here regardless I've paid my dues and I'm constantly learning. The carrier you're referring to doesn't offer insurance in house package therefore drivers would have to pay over $500 a month just...

Anything is better then working for the bottom of the board carrier jump ship while you can. Exactly, and they don't offer cargo insurance in house which is part of expenses and fees.

$1.33 a mile with fuel surcharge?? :confused2:

Hopefully it won't stretch into OKC or Tulsa on Tuesday.

Any updates I'm looking to do the same thing on a VOLVO VNM 630. If the cost is reasonable and the job is well done then this could be a huge opportunity! TKNIGHT can you post up the info that did your stretch the 4800$ price sounds better then a quote I got today of $8000 in OKC.

The fees are high for the amount of loads they produce you will go broke paying the fees. Low fees,non forced dispatch and lower 48 capability in the Sprinter, got that sign me up. Please and thank you have a nice day. :D

Yes I have a couple friend who can get me into the automotive dealer auctions I'm looking into to see if they can get me in a big truck auction or maybe the way to go is to find a fleet that is retiring the 2012 VNM 630's. Spoke with D&D Truck Center in OKC today, they said $7-9k for the...

I can afford to buy a house cash in Detroit, not sure if that qualifies me as broke... I delivered to a million dollar home in Houston the other day. Property taxes alone are 30k a year. I had a hard time comprehending that.:eek:

You're telling me I could net 75k a year with 50% availability. Now we're strait truck talking, from Sprinter poverty to the high class life. :D I went from a fleet owner to a driver so I don't really like working too much but you know I get out there and do it sometimes so I need a carrier that...
