Try Hours Expedite announces new compensation program
Maumee, OH — Try Hours, Inc. a 20-year-old company that
focuses on the just-in-time transportation model, has enhanced
its contractor compensation program.
Says Try Hours' Mark J. Dieckhoner, "This year has presented
many challenges in our business from freight availability to the
on-going cost of fuel. We have all witnessed a constantly
changing landscape both from companies shutting their doors
to contractors parking their trucks.
"Try Hours has always been proactive as changes occur in our
industry and we continue to make bold commitments to our
contractor base allowing every opportunity for our contractors
to grow and prosper."
He continues, "In light of all these recent economic challenges,
Try Hours is doing its part to continue our long-standing
tradition of getting behind our contractors and plowing
forward."
As of September 2008, Try Hours Straight Truck
owner-operators can advance up to 50% of each load at the
shipper. Try Hours will charge NO FEE for this advance. Cargo
Vans and Sprinters are now able to take advantage of this
program with the opportunity to request advances of up to 25%
of each load at the shipper.
Other enhancements include an east coast surcharge, increased
fuel surcharges, relocation pay, and more. Dieckhoner says Try
Hours also continues to make significant investments into its
Sales division. These investments include additional sales
support in ever-expanding territories that not only focus on new
business but also diversification related to non-automotive
freight opportunities.
Try Hours is aggressively expanding its Straight Truck and
Sprinter fleets. If a contractor lives in Ohio, Michigan or
Indiana, home time is at a premium. For drivers who live
outside of this area and just want to work, Try Hours can
certainly accommodate this as well.
