I've had 3 or 4 a year and my last carrier takes 38% of my work...Why? Maybe the same as D-Time? carrier loses an hour of that units time and maybe losses a load opp? which costs them money..

Non-forced dispatch is the key - don't like the offer? Ask some details and accept or decline. You do have my curiosity stirred, however, and this cat's going to get educated...but I find it hard to believe that EPOI would be doing something wrong here...

I do have a hypothesis on what I will find:
All companies take their labor and resource allocations to perform a given product or output, and markup according to their perception of value-added on top of R2R (Required to Run), or a min/max profitability standard.
The marketplace (other three corners of the quadrilateral) can accept, reject or negotiate.

But what the science doesn't know is the unknown factors till the driver gets to the destination and circumstances chance...

I dont know, Maybe I am looking at things a bit differently here and in the past, but there have been a few times I have hand unloaded, and not made a big deal out of it as far as saying anything about it.I look as it as excercise that I need in a big way.I worry more about the amount of gas I pass while doing a hand unload of any kind....lol

Guido,
Put it on the agenda. In the meantime, I'm probably done for the day/night. Anyone ever read Psalms?

thats good to know, thanks, should be busy (i hope) running upto Christmas, i plan to stay out till Dec 23rd
If you are working internally, my advice would be to scrap a flat rate FSC IF you are making the claim you are paying 100 percent.
My advice would also be to scrap a charge of $20 for a BOL that is 24 hours late. Understanding HOS applications to the driver will help in that decision.
Lastly, hand unloads and the like should go to the driver without skimming a portion of it regardless of who the carrier is or whether it s a "industry standard".
I don't know if any of this applies to All State or other carriers.
Just my penny in the pond.

From what I understand,The $20.00 charge for paperwork received after 24 hours from POD'G the load was like this:
ASE used to pay every 2 weeks, and everyone kept bugging them to go to weekly pay.They finally gave in,with the agreement and understanding with the o/o's that paperwork must be in in a timely fashion, so they can send out the invoices as soon as possible, to keep the cash flow going.Well, I guess there were a few drivers who had a hobby or addiction on seeing just how many bol's they could keep and for how long.So, From what I understand,is how this $20.00 late policy for paperwork came into place, to keep others,including myself,inline and making sure it gets in on time.And, yes, I have forgotten a time or two.

So after I read this tread:
Negative things about this company
-very poor FS
- high rate on driver insurance, $35 per week versus for example $18 Panther
-$20 penalty if you not fax your paperwork in 24 H(I think is singular in industry)
-not enough pay for hand loading
-long deadhead miles
-$200 per year administrative charges
The goods.
- good management
- Long runs
- high miles per month
But...I may be wrong.
