come on todays load offer
dead head 107 miles
loaded miles 395
total miles truck would travel 502 pay to truck 352.80 + 42.79 fsc
total driver comp=$272.11
total owner comp=123.48
this dont come out to min charge of $1.05 per mile even on just the loaded miles
they want it expedited exclusive use.
fuel= $150.00 that driver must pay for brings driver pay down to $122.00
this load offer comes after 3 days sitting with transport time of this load
so if you take into account the fuel the driver burned for 3 nights idle
should driver accept this load?
should owner continue to service carrier thats 4 days pay to the owner or $30.00 per day
if this is the sign of how t/s is gonna run you on this reduced rate of 65% will you stick with it?
30 days of $30 = 900 how do you maintain a 50k truck on that can you pay the truck payment?
and even if you say look at it by the quarter it will be a loss
I'm having trouble with your math.if the truck befrore fsc is getting 352.80 and driver pay is 272.11,driver is getting 76%,not 40%.@ 352.80,if driver gets 60% thats 211.68,plus fsc @ 42.79 would be 254.47.now if fuel costs 150 bucks,driver would end up with 104.47,not a bad days pay,and owner would have 141.12.
This is what I've always told my drivers,and it has always worked:
Take the total miles and add 100 more for layover.divide that by your miles per gallon,multiply that by the price of fuel at the highest rate where you will be going.then divide that by the pecentage that the company will give you for an advance.if the load equals to that,you are safe to run it,and you wont be turning as many loads down and then not sitting as much.
in this senario we all have been talking about,if fuel was 2.50 a gallon,hes in a straight truck,should be gatting at least 8 mpg,pay would look like this:
502 miles plus 100 @ 8mpg would be about 75 gallons fuel.
fuel cost @ 2.50 then would be 187.50.divide that by the 45% we get at fdcc,load would have to pay $416 ,if not turn it down.what this load paid was 20 dollars short of doing it,now take in concideration where it is going.if to a hot spot,myself I would over look the 20 bucks difference,if not to a hot spot,i'd be asking for another 50 bucks,and you would most likely get it,unless there are other trucks that can make the pick up on time.
no one will be making a killing with this load,but then again,how much are you making sitting burning fuel
