    whats panthers current fuel surcharge?

    Just checked and the current rate is now at .83 (Sprinters do not get extra) although Panther should pay a extra .03 per mile with High Roof Van. Some carriers see the value in extra load capacity some don't. When it goes to a dollar a mile (FSC included) someone call me. I'll ditch local...

    whats panthers current fuel surcharge?

    I used to run in a Sprinter for .97 cents a mile back in 2012/2013. Now it is .84 which is pretty sad. Regardless of how low fuel goes no van should have to run for less then .90 cents a mile. They do no offer raises, the only thing that can get you a additional .03 cents per mile is if you are...

    Load Extra's/Bonuses. Who gets what percentage? Driver/owner split

    The hand swap and detention pay rarely come into the equation. I'd say the dry run, layover and load bonuses are a lot more common! ;) I think 100% to the driver for hand swap is pretty standard from what I've heard from a lot of fleet owners on here. I feel like each carrier should have a...

    Load Extra's/Bonuses. Who gets what percentage? Driver/owner split

    That means the driver would get 60% of .70 per mile and a extra .15 cents a mile for FSC. Doesn't sound fair to the owner. Right now we do 60% to driver 40% to owner. That is split at the rate of .85 cents a mile total payout with contract rate and fuel surcharge. The difference is .51 and .57...

    Class 6 Truck Ok for Expediting?

    Interesting. I'll check the weight on a vnm volvo front axle tomorrow. I hope it is less then the vnl. I know they build the vnm for city hauling and regional with lighter weight in mind. I know there have been some threads discussing this in the past. I saw a vnm 200 today, the front ends are...

    Info/Opinions about Taylor Made Express

    Avoid this company, they ripped me off in 2010, they still owe me over $700. They didn't pay on time or in full. They were called action express at the time. They don't care about their reputation, they are bottom feeders in every aspect! Greg Sulphus used to be the head guy.
