What's very interesting in P&S is that you never see a rate confirmation you get told what it pays and it's other interesting fact that the same load same distance where P&S paid $2.00 a mile which provides a whopping .53 a mile but another guy not at p&s got over $4 a mile. When you do a percentage that doesn't mean you get what is left after paying dispatch and the contract is 27% of the Rate not as stated. Get the Rate Con and contact the shipper as if you are leasing especially you have every right to and in percentage absolutely you should be getting the rate con. Also different dispatch different paying loads. Right now out of 2000 Inspections over 500 were put out of service in 24 months with 7 fatalities and 57 injuries 116 tows. There's your answer. Your first load and even 2nd will be great. O and P&S owns their own insurance policy so to get charged an arm and a leg why? You know why😮
Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Loving the long in depth conversation you guve us that explains a lot if things un detail. Starting training over there in a few week. Been at Werner for 5 months getting paid 46 cents a mile and only getting around 1600-1800 miles a week. P&S 900 secure income if you dont make over that is already better then what im getting here. I dont live outside my means. Recruiter said i should be making in average about 1100 -1500 a week.
Congratulations brother and smart move. Make sure you learn all you can about securement before you get out there by yourself and don’t be afraid to ask questions.
Your recruiter is right. You should be averaging those numbers once you learn the lanes
Great Content & Information.
Thank you. I hope it helps you.
I’m glad I could help man I had a pretty good first week I did almost $8000 to the truck but like you said in the video this week I’ll be lucky to do 6500 to the truck
Yeah. Definitely high swings in gross revenue. Sounds like you’re doing great. I hope you like it so far
Yeah I like it pretty good so far just trying to figure out my DM so we can become a stronger team and safety is a little too much at times I think their heads too big for their shoulders I don’t know lol
@@jamessmith8808 you’re a rookie driver they r going to be on you to make sure you’re being safe…. If you know ray Hoskins tell him Cody from eastern says hi
Yea, I've been here at P&S for 5 weeks, counting down to getting in my own truck and debating on a trailer too. With a trailer it's 77%. I'm sick of fixing other dudes neglect on this equipment! It's cost me 4 days of cash to fix their unfixed stuff! But I run and money is great so no complaints there! My DM l are getting to know each other and how we work and work together. LP is not for the weak of heart, but that's ok. The chain slingers will put it all on red and spin the wheel! 😅😅😅 good luck! See you out there somewhere.
Yeah, definitely not a fan of the trailer situation, but with that said, I would most definitely wait till the market improves before you take on two major commitments. We have a load capacity problem right now and forcing yourself to do just live loads would be a major hindrance I would imagine. Good luck out there and stay safe brother
I worked at ps for 3 years as a company driver. I quit 2023 working local now I’m making more money. I’m glad that I got this job I go home every night don’t have to stay in the truck. I wish best for you guys.
What local job did u get
@@CarlosReyes-jv1wp R&L carriers P&D driver . Pays 34.49 hr. I work around 52-55hrs a week.
Good video. Leaving melton and joining p&s in may.
I look forward to seeing you over here brother. Good luck and stay safe out here.
@Delgado Trucking thank you and likewise. I wish you and your family the best.
Boy oh boy are you a hard channel to find. Thanks for the Info. I don’t have enough recent flatbed experience to join. Maybe that will change in time.
Lol. How am I hard to find? Also, P&S does train people new to flatbed.
@@delgadotrucking interesting. I will look into it. When I type in the company only the other guy comes up. Maybe it’s because I used and instead of &.
@@Johndavis6192 oh I got you. Good luck brother and stay safe.
Gotta have at least an L.L.C. if you want not to get hosed in taxes every year. Also means people can't come after your personal property, if you end upside down on your truck.
Absolutely. Getting my LLC was the first thing I did.
Under percentage your most likely not to get empty paid miles.
There not gonna tell you what there getting paid to base it off of
i been telln dudes cpm is tha way to go
Lol. You don’t seriously believe that do you?
@@delgadotrucking if ur a company man. yea. because your locced in no matter what. i mean im past them days. but i used to b percentage at 33 percent for fraley n schilling and yea man id drive 3k miles a week n only get laid for 1500 when i broke it down cuz they didnt pay dead head and shit. but i got my own trucc now soo its different of course. but yea company guys cpm is tha way to go i believe.
The Cpm vs % pay an argument that’ll last forever but as a company driver I agree Cpm is good as long as the company Keeps your miles up
@@victoriaheffernan5275CPM is trash because companies are starting to hire rookie flatbed drivers at 47CPM to combat these freight rates. So LP drivers get the crap loads while the higher paying loads go to the company drivers. At this point i think Dispatchers are getting paid more than drivers because they get percent of every load from every driver they have.
@@disgruntledveteran3698 well. dont do LP from a company that has company drivers. as a business owner it wudnt make sense to give the higher paying shit to somebody gettin a higher percentage. im telln u ive done both as a company driver n cpm was tha way. specially in a market where shit flucuates. when u add ya dead head ur nice lil 30 percent ends up being 52cpm...where i was runnin cpm i got 70cpm flatbed plus $30 for everyload tarp or no tarp. where im at now is owners only at 75 percent and thats the only dofference ive noticed
Is the example you used per load or is that in a week with the 27%
If u have 19239 or 19244 I drove both of those
No. I have 19M02
@@delgadotrucking well good luck brother I’ll be rootin for ya, thanks for this video and your insight into leasing I was about to go with jrc but I want to save a little more before I get started I don’t want to jump into leasing with only a couple grand in the bank
@@victoriaheffernan5275 anytime and that is a great plan. Good luck!
Bro, when did u leave Melton? And why?
Last year. Wanted to learn the ropes of the trucking game. Not just picking up and dropping off if that makes sense
@@lonewolftrucker3955 can’t rape the willing. Lol 😂
