I think Tootie needs to stay home and book loads for me and a few other people as a side business.

 

whats your hometime like there? whenever you want to????

 

I had thought about that, but i feel i dont know enough about that side of the business yet....maybe one day 8)

 

so tootie, where you guys at now? being able to stay busy?

 

Someone asked about hometime....Well I dont know. We live in Tulsa and it seems there is not much freight over there for us. If you live along I-80 or I-70 or anywhere between WI and MD you may do OK.

We are staying busy but after crunching the numbers for this past week the pay is not what we thought it would be. We are averaging 1.37 per mile....if I am figuring right. The 65% they give you is not much....but I am not sure how others compare as far as pulling their trailer and running their base plate.

We are in Princeville IL right now waiting for them to put the wheels on the combine to get it off the trailer. They dropped the combine and did some real DAMAMGE to the side of it. :shock: :shock: I am going to take pics of the damamge and have them note on the bills that THEY damaged it while unloading. It has to be several thousand dollars in damage!! They actually DROPPED it off the forklift and it fell back onto the trailer.

Bo has been on the phone with CRST Malone this morning....they were our first choice.....it is a long story....anyway I think he is getting things straighted out with them.

IIRC, Landsatr pays approx 73%. But it's tough to compare....65% may be more than 74%...all depends on how much they charge the customer. I would think they're getting $3/mile for legal RGN loads. How close am I?

65% of $3 means you'd getting $1.95. You must have alot of dead miles if you're averaging $1.37. They don't pay for dead miles I assume?

 

Yes they pay DH miles..... .50 a mile. I think i had a brain fart and figurd something wrong.....i will refigure and post again later. The load we are on now pays

1971.02 we get 65% of this

then add 296.19 fuel

for 1097 miles

see what you come up with Rank.
