It, also, gives me the maximum amount of time to travel to the next consignee. Now, I know I am preaching to the choir, like I said, I learned some good habits while with TMC. I have a 70 mph truck, it sure is nice to have that extra when you need it. I have been dispatched on 3769 miles My actual miles are 4265. A difference of 496 miles. giving me an out of route of 11.63% adjusted for my little side trip home 340 miles for 3.63% O/R. Or to keep me real, it cost me approximately $108.30 to make that roundtrip. I can't afford to do that too often and will stick with home time under a load, just grabbing a day or two or even a few hours. I have had load offers to San Antonio, TX and Corpus Christi, TX that would have taken me through the house with a few out of route miles. I would have had to sit over a weekend being nonproductive. I opted to make some money and find myself in Eastern CT. |
Load #4)
Stroudsburg, PA to Sikeston, Mo. Bounced 41 miles to swap required trailer. 180 miles to Shipper. 980 Miles to Consignee. It is a single steel beam weighing 25,920 pounds. 1151 miles @ $0.90 Tarp fee $35.00 FSC $153.09. Total $1223.99 This is a light load, so I should have decent fuel economy. I pick it up on 4/01 and it delivers 4/03, I should be there the afternoon of the 2nd. I had almost the same load offered earilier in the day, but was right in the middle of turning arround on a construction site road, holding up traffic. By the time I got turned arround and parked someone else has taken it. I had one construction detour which added a few miles and forced me onto a toll road for about two miles that cost $16.75. I hate tolls. Maybe, after I deliver this load I can find a load in the Midwest or West. |

Hello Terry,
Interesting thread, hope you keep it up. I have a few comments I hope you'll find useful or at least stimulating: Originally Posted by terrylamar: Originally Posted by terrylamar: The other four items are basically cost shifting on to your back from the company. Do they seriously charge you $1.25 to fuel your truck, or is that just if you want an advance?

We are paid on a sliding scale.
LENGTH OF HAUL 0-12 Months with the Company 0-399 ($450 Min.) $1.50 400-599 1.07 600-899 1.01 900-1,1499 .90 1,500-1,899 .83 1,900-Over .81 After one year this will go up. I don't have those numbers handy. I am a class 4 driver, the lowest. Once I make Class 2, in addition to the regular mileage pay I will get $0.01 more and $0.02 for Class 1. Over Dimensional Pay is additional and so is Arb pay to go into Canada or New York City. |

Not worth my time to sit most of the weekend if there is a chance to get a better load offer tonight or first thing in the morning. |

I think the poster wanted to know how much NYC pay was, not the FSC.
