    Would you run for a company if they had this?

    Well, under this pay scale you would be getting more than you get now. 0 to 99 miles a $1.30 PLM 100 to 199 miles a $1.20 PLM 200 to 299 miles a $1.10 PLM So you still think its not fare for van/sprinters

    Would you run for a company if they had this?

    That's your choice. Just because its a Sprinter you feel that you should be paid more. Now the cost of a Sprinter is more than a van I understand that. But, that was your choice to buy a unit that cost as much as some straight trucks. I had a C-unit on with FedEx that had a 22 foot box but could...

    Would you run for a company if they had this?

    I don't know because I never sat in Laredo longer than 24 hours. As for C unit loads or D unit loads. And Panther we get paid by the mile so it really don't matter. At FedEx Custom Critical a C-unit load is less than 5000 lbs so a D-unit saved money on fuel because the weight of the load was not...

    No, to be honest I don't really know much about Sprinters. But I know they get better fuel mileage than most cargo vans. I guess Express 1 would pay you more because it saves them .12 a mile if they pay you a dollar a mile then paying a Straight truck $1.12 a mile. So I guess you could look at...

    Idleaire closes

    For a company that had less than 500 people working for them I don't think it cost 81 million to operate. They have been in business for 10 years so some of the construction costs have been paid for. Many things to think about. Poor Management would be my guess.

    Would you run for a company if they had this?

    Yes. If the load could fit on a sprinter but was over 2500 lbs, I would let the driver take it at his rate or pay them a dry run. Then .80 PLM for a single and .85 PLM for a team.

    Yes a Sprinter would get cargo van rates

    Would you run for a company if they had this?

    I just wanted to ask a few things to the forum about rates. Lets start with cargo vans Your rate would be. Single van driver .80 PLM and .10 a mile for all okay deadhead miles and 100% of the FSC Team cargo van .85 PLM and .10 a mile for all okay deadhead miles and 100% of the FSC...

    Idleaire closes

    With over 100 locations across the USA. The company would have made more money in the long run if they didn't try to rape the driver of everything they had. Lets do the math, at a $1.00 an hour based on 75% of the parking spots having paid users. Most truck stops have a 125 spots. So if they...

    Idleaire closes

    The reason Idleaire has failed is because they priced themself out of business. If they would have kept the price at $1.25 or $1.00 an hour drivers would have used them more. Why would a driver use Idleaire at $3.00 a hour or $72.00 a day, when you can go get a hotel cheaper and have a nice hot...

    1st year jackets

    I had mine in less than 7 days from when Sean K. ordered it. Very nice Jacket but the size's are small if you ask me. 5 XL is more like a 2 XL. I asked for a 5XL because I'm tall from the waist up and wanted it baggy

    Fleet Owners Forum/Fleet Manager Forum

    No, Lawrence would never let me be a Moderator anyway. I just like the people on EO and want to help folks when I can. In the past I have said things on EO that I wish I hadn't. Sometimes people have to learn the hard way like I did, I know now when I should keep my BIG MOUTH SHUT.
