Canada Would you go to Canada for_______

Bruno · Oct 12, 2010

If you was offered a chance to have a base of $1500.00 a week plus $1.00 a mile loaded and .50 for deadhead going in and out of Canada. Now you can't turn down any loads and have to run Sunday from 6pm till Friday 6pm. Would you run these loads if you was based out of the Detroit and was a O/O with a D unit. The company even paid the tolls for going in and out of Canada

Absolutely!!! IF, I lived in the Detroit area, and wanted to stay close to home.
Here ya go Hawk!!!!

xiggi · Oct 12, 2010

Sure because I am now an employee and not an ic since I cannot turn down loads.

Does that come with FSC? If truck runs 1500 miles loaded only
( as an example ) does the truck gross $3000??? PLUS FSC??

BTW...I'm from Detroit and looking....or is this a "what if " question?

Already at the company, Col. Just looking for another truck to do it with.

I think I would have a harder time with the "living in Detroit".

Tennesseahawk · Oct 12, 2010

Nevermind what I said. It's not at Load One. Bruno was talking to someone else out loud.

jelliott · Oct 12, 2010

Thanks to everyone who called our recruiting department about this. But, this is not Load One that Bruno is talking about.

layoutshooter · Oct 12, 2010

Nope, not enough for my truck. Make it $4000 per week+FSC and we can talk turkey!!!

Well You can turn down loads but you lose your base. So you are still a IC.

Hmmm...sounds like a run I'd never see.....LOL

chefdennis · Oct 13, 2010

Shawn even if you seen it, you'd have to turn it down....no cash to run your business does that to you....

Must I honestly keep defending myself to you????!!!! Nevermind theres no need

any load that pays our " minimum' + fsc gets our wheels turning. But for a weekly run I'd have to say we'd be passing it over. It's uhm okay money( for maybe a single) but personally prefer the change of scenery we get with every run, and the oppourtunity to make more. Going in and out of Canada isn't the problem, we do it often enough I'm thinking of renewing my Canadian passport!

The gurantee would be great as long as you didnt have to move your truck.If you ended up going 1500 miles a week,half loaded half empty,you would only be getting your guarantee
Ive known guys that got a 2500 gurantee,and lost money doing it
