Running local

If you was offered a chance to have a base of $1000.00 plus a .90 a mile for all miles in a D unit local within 250 miles of a Express Center would you?

Sure but there are problems with these types of deals for the owner. People become lazy when given a guarantee. Not all of course but many do. As soon as promised earnings are in place it becomes a different game. Lets say if running on a percentage a truck could run 15 loads a week, now with a guarantee in place they only seem to be able to manage 11 runs a week. There is cost in retention and going through 6 trucks to find the one that runs hard on promised dollars is a cost to the business owner that has to be accounted for.

Would this be multiple drops?

For me it would depend on the actual avg miles truck can get dispatched on.... $1000base plus 200miles at .90 is a dud, 2000 miles looks pretty good....

Bruno... you might want to put a disclaimer that it's hypothetical. You probably have people scrambling right now. John put the Canadian one to rest for me.

He is talking Panther, not Load One.
