I dont know why the $100 dollar thing is thrown in there. You can look at it this way if you are talking O/R. Lets say your at on o/r of 99%. In simple terms that means that for every dollar made by the company, it cost them 99 cents to do it. Thus a 1% profit. Not real good but a profit nonetheless. I wont get into the raise thing as I dont work for you guys! Have a good one.OR is the state between Cali & Washington......Also $1.00 of every $100.00 = 1%..... I aint never.
After reading this hog wash you guys are over paid already! (just kidding)
99%OR and 1% profit, same thing!
turned,
school me on the linehaul,hub runs and their split miles of other terminals with the gross and net per terminal cost of weight factor, billing of gross/net on the way bills per mile/hour as well with the employee and truck cost figure per mile/hour. Remember the breaks and pre trip included.
Explain the cost per driver,truck,each bill on said trailer and profit per mile/hour.
How much weight and cube is made or lost per ratio capita of miles,driver and truck cost and always remember to count trailer cost also. It seems I am forgetting something here.
Always remember to keep in mind how long/far the PU driver was involved and how long/far the P&D driver will be involved.
wow top flight is so smart.
top flight and shoeman estes has everything on a cost per bill.... i mean everything . thats how they turn profit.
you guys at estes seem like you are making good money but to
have to sit at a terminal for 3 to 4 hours or longer and not
get paid for delay that is crazy. one of estes xboard drivers told me that he
sat at a new youk terminal 18 hours before he got dispatched,for someone who
has to stay out 5 days and sits at one terminal that long he just lost a whole days
pay being that he would have to take another set of hours. as far as damaged freight these companies are trying to cover so much area next day that the guys at the hubs are in such a hurry to meet cut times that they dont have time to take care of the customers freight they just got to get it off one trailer on to the other to meet that cut time. use to be when they first started this next day freight it was a big thing now the customer just wants the freight damage free and there when you say it will be there and a good rate. go back and start taking care of the customers freight and stop worring about how fast you can get it there then you reduce unsatified customers and claims.
Ok, since no one else will... you don't know what your talking about!..........somebody tell me I don't know what I'm talking about.
