Multiple stops

[tknight]

I'm doing a 300 mile run that has 13 stops on it all within the last 40 miles I charge 50.00 a stop +the miles
Does this seem reasonable ?
They *****ed but paid it !

I would say you did pretty good

i would also say that is good
always have it down in writing as what is what for the run

If they wanted cheap they should have shipped it ups/fedex ground...i am guessing you also had to hand unload the boxes which most expedit companys charge to load/unload by the hour.

Loads with a lot of multiple stops tend to fetch a good bit more than many think, IMHO. I know when I see a load with 8, 10, 12 stops or more I think..."ugh".
If enough people shy away from those it tends to make them more valuable.
I did an 8-stopper to a bunch of Kroger stores several months ago that worked out to a delivery fee of about $1.75 per loaf of bread. And most of the bread was those that Kroger charges $1 each for. But they needed trucks and it paid WELL.

When I see multi-stop loads I see $$$$ signs because most TT drivers want the simple one pick one drop stuff. Nothing really difficult about extra stops but if someone is trying to sell me on one I act as though it is the worst headache in the world and leave the door cracked that I might still haul it. Muhahaha!

13 stops each place got a pallet of goods no touch at each place except one where I got it out cause the old guy on the dock was waiting on his cheese crackers to go with his whine all in all 1100 bucks for 256 miles and 13 stops! Not a bad day

$50 per stop is more then what most carriers would pay. I say you did well.
