90 cents plus FSC.... Now you talking. Before you said that 88 cents including fuel is not a low rate. When everybody told you that cargo vans running over a buck a mile and you still not understand ...no more comment.
88 cents isn't a low rate if that's free and clear of deductions as LRT is offering.

But they are not free and clear really....maybe on thier end because they've shifted the insurance part unto the operator...it is an illusion.....ya still have to be insured....whether they pay it thru deductions or you pay direct....it is still an outflow.....know what I mean?

Just because your boyfriend wont run for less than .93 per mile doesn't mean you should demean carriers for offering rates you don't agree with. Quite frankly, your post(posting#4) was sophomoric and demonstrated this union mentality that somehow contractors are entitled to a minimum rate. The original poster is offering an opportunity others with less lofty expectations would gladly accept.

.88 cents is doable....for the right person...right conditions...some can't, some might, some won't......work smart!

Yes, if the fuel surcharge Is .18...The confusion stems in part by whether the FSC is included or in addition to the base.
The bottom line premise of this whole discussion is whether LRT not paying the FSC is offset by the lack of fees/deductions.

Exactly...What doesn't work for one might and often does work for another. It's all about keeping overhead low and maintaining financial flexibility.

Forgive him for having a standard. He won't be party to driving rates below poverty level and being taken advantage of, and thus contributing to creating a more difficult way of life for expediting.
Union mentality? You say that like it is a bad thing. You bet I do. Granddaughter, daughter, surviving spouse of GM employees. The UAW, even in its present state, has served me well. Without union influence amongst shippers and receivers, freight would be getting expedited for .15 per mile.

FSC is also an illusion...it only messes with peoples minds...the ONLY thing that matters bottomline...RATE per mile.....whether it is 70 plus .18= .88 or a straight .88....it doesn't matter....have to stop thinking FSC and think RATE...
There is absolutely nothing wrong about setting a rate per mile that is bottomline for YOUR business....that is what sets us all apart.....the differences....
The part in bold....I don't really care about.... I am not out here to make your life or anyones elses better...nor to set a standard.....just to make MY business work....get it?

Insurance is a different animal in that it isn't a one size fits all cost. For those of us who fit in the low risk/low rate category, the insurance isn't going to be as much a factor as a high risk/high rate contractor. Hence, depending on your situation, you could still come out ahead in the aforementioned rate structure.

Yes, absolutely....everyones rates are going to be a bit different.....and then there is the OCC issue.....whether you pay thru the carrier or out of your own pocket it is still an expense.....luckily SD doesn't force me to buy OCC....a right to work state...

And at this time we have no deductions from anyones check !
In my OFFICIAL capacity....Welcome John.....don't be a stranger....comments always welcome...
I agree, but it needs to be an all miles rate. My deadhead last month was 18%.
Do you require a certain cell phone? Some used to..

Again, if you don't like the rate, you don't have to run it..However, it is not your place to hurl pot shots at carriers who are out here, offering an opportunities for fellow members...I guarantee you, there are plenty of others who will gladly run for those "poverty" level rates.
