The current rate at Panther is .80 cents a mile, back when I was running it was .97-1.00 with my hazmat. Every 1000 miles traveled go ahead and knock off about $200 and add $50 for fuel savings. Who pocketed the $150 or did companies start hiring refugees?? :)

Keep the bonuses coming, the empty moves, dead head miles and all the bells and whistles and we will deal with your hold time until you can hire a few more "in house" to takes these calls. Sometimes its best to not call at all if you can help it. Last I heard bolt express didn't even know what a...

Getting a check in the mail from youtube yet? :)

For me it was over 41 min today because I hung up the phone and forgot the last question I had for them so I had to call back. Luckily I had a 15.6" laptop in front of me to help keep occupied during the wait. But I highly recommend having a list of everything encase you have to call back and...

2400 miles... 2600 miles... 1400 miles for this week in 3 days, if they keep freight coming at 2000+ miles a week in a Sprinter I suppose I could deal with the long hold time. Not sure why they can't hire extra phone support. I can understand 5-10 minutes on hold but anything past that is...

Wait time to speak with someone on phone.

41 minutes today.

You can sit with all of the companies, it just depends on where you're at and how you strategically go about accepting the loads that put you in preferred areas. Chicago Detroit Cleveland, I find it hard to do that in those locations. My rule of thumb is its not always about the load your on but...

Happy B Day, good to have knowledgeable individuals like yourself on the forums! :)

The driver has agreed to bring back the van. I ask for a 30 days notice if quitting. For weeks that van sits I charge $90 per week to cover fees inside of the 30 days required. So if the driver quits without notice and I find a new driver that takes over the previous driver is fortunate and...

These are some good notes to keep in mind when drafting up the contact for the next driver.

ok sounds good, so what if the owner originally had a bed in the truck and the driver returns the truck with no bed? The check is due this week but I will have to inspect the truck and make sure everything is inside before issuing check.

So I have a driver that is finally quitting with essentially only a couple days notice (enough for them to get their stuff dropped off at home and return the truck). I'm asking the driver politely to make sure that the miles from their house and back to where the truck is being dropped off at...

Heard it was hard to run solo in a straight.

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...

Can anyone get on with ceva driving sprinters locally? What are there insurance requirements?

2004-2006 Sprinter Air Fuel Oil Cabin Filters Transmission fluid/Oil Changes Rear Diff fluid changes. Brakes/tires every 80-100k Sepentine belt tensioners/belts/waterpumps/Rollers Run a good additive in the tank here and there maybe some b20 bio. Drive them as far as they will go. Don't...

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...

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...

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...
