    Best way to find reliable fleet owners.

    If you want a great fleet owner, you should be a proven, great driver! Sent from my SM-G955U using EO Forums mobile app

    Help

    WOW! I honestly can say that under this contract you would be making less than HALF of what I would consider than "normal" rates of compensation. I am a fleet owner and I would be embarrassed to offer such low compensation... although there may be someone that would drive for that... I don't...

    Cargo Van Vs. Cube van

    My $printer was a six wheeler and in toll booths with attendants they can, and often do, count tires... And when they did I was charged more than a four wheeler.

    Newbie van

    As an owner, I will not pay fuel because the drivers have to have skin in the game or most all will waste fuel. In my opinion, a driver should get a high of 65% if the vehicle gets really poor fuel milage to a low of 58% for a new $printer or Promaster because the fuel costs are lower while the...

    No, but I was really close to buying a huge mirror to point at nearby Panther vans.... :D

    Ordering 2500 Sprinter extended

    It was great looking... on the outside! On the inside was a raisin man dying in a stinky pool of sweat!!!

    Ordering 2500 Sprinter extended

    Speaking as someone who owned a medium dark blue $printer, I would advise any van buyer that intends to inhabit the interior, to NEVER buy anything but white, unless you can get a chrome finish. Any sun above 65° will cook you, unless you don't mind running a 15,000 BTU air conditioner anytime...

    START Expediting

    To "start" with, if the people on EO haven't heard of them, they either just began operations or are a reincarnated company from a failed company. Neither is good news at all. The second HUGE warning is they do not seem to have a DOT number (I searched the DOT database). I could go on but these...

    Pay for a sprinter driver

    I pay $0.40 per mile but I expect professional drivers out at least 80% of the time and follow instructions from dispatch to the letter while making sure the truck is maintained properly, among other things. If you want top pay, you'd better be a top performer!

    Sprinter 2500 vs 3500

    Hmmmm.... I had that exact van configuration and it weighed 6,000 lbs. without me in it! Your reported weight makes no sense.

    Number of miles it takes to pay for a Sprinter.

    What do you want to be paid personally during this time? How many months do you want these payments to run?

    showeer credits???

    You also get "points" for diesel purchases, but I believe, NOT for gas purchases.

    That's the point I was trying to make. Actually, I think all the words in a sentence are important or it's just nonsense. Right?

    We've NEVER taken a LOAD for less THAN $0.90 a mile AND never plan to. But then AGAIN, we run a LOT MORE miles than that. Good LUCK!

    No, we would never take $0.50 a mile, not even balanced by all the loads we ever took in our lifetime! Those sorts of rates do not serve the industry or the owners or the drivers. They ONLY serve to hurt us all to profit someone who doesn't give a rip about you! Let their loads rot on the dock!

    Bolt

    If we ever got an unsolicited offer of $.50 a mile, we'd go to work for a new company immediately. Any company with the conscience (lack) willing to offer $.50 a mile is a company that doesn't seem to care if there owners make it financially, and, in addition, they are willing to support a...

    Panther's physical Question

    You aren't alone out there! Frankly, once companies start checking (and rejecting) higher BMI applicants, they might want to just close their doors. There aren't enough competent skinny drivers out there with experience. I don't know if Pather does, but they are trying to push peas up a rope...
