Attention Brokers who haven’t received Team SR Trucking’s 2018 Price Rates
I've been compelled to post this information because of the unbelievable amount of time wasted, on the phone arguing with brokers and shippers, that call Team SR, asking us to move a load at a rate that they think is so great in their perspective, but is not necessarily Team SR’s. So I need to explain some things. Regularly Team SR is $2.35 all miles, plus tolls, plus washouts, plus dead head, plus detention Etc. So their load that was paying $2.40 loaded mile will now actually cost them $3.65 loaded mile to have Team SR do it. Previous load restrictions;; on ND, SD, northern MN, and MT loads going to the east coast especially drive up those cost witch I’m fine with that I’m still $2.35 all miles at 310> miles dead head to get some of thesis loads ads about $28.00 per ton or more to the haul.
MINIMUM LOAD CHARGE….. Of $1200.00 for loads less than 400 miles is in place frankly to stay in business, by the time you load and unload there is no time to load a second load for that day so you just reduced your revenue per day to $940 when we typically gross $1800 per day. Short hauls must be priced at a higher rate, or we are simply not interested in hauling them …
Wash outs….. When a broker tells me he is willing cover the wash out at$ 65 or$ 75 I have to ask what about the 120 miles to and from the wash and the 3 .5 hr wait at the wash???? And possible lost load for the day. Then they tell me they don’t make the rules that come from their customers...its time you brokers start letting your customers know why they can’t get their product moved and why the rates are getting higher. Or is it just easier to say every previous load we haul was organic sunflowers???And sometimes that don’t even work. I believe our washout rate at $250.00 pulse $2.35 per mile is more than fair………
If you don’t want to pay it don’t ask me to haul it………
LOAD CANCILATION..... Once Team SR receives load conformation, brokers and sippers will be held liable for lost revenue due to cancelation whether it would be no product available, plant broke down, loader brook down, or just no load available due to broker over booking. Some brokers think nothing of it to cancel a load. We are more than fair with shippers and brokers if we can salvage some part of the day the charge will be $500.00 if we are unable to load that day you will be charged $1200.00 for lost revenue. When you order one of my trucks you better make sure you can us it.
DETENTION...... I’ve talked to Walmart, Macys, McDonalds, Burger King and asked do they ask their employees to work for free for the first 3 hours of each day. They said, "no ….how could you ask them to work for free….here''. At Team SR we don’t work for free either!!!!! Most brokers don’t have much to say when I ask them do you work for free the first 3 hrs every day………
After arriving on site customer will have one hour to load //unload after that wait time is billed at $100 per hr, and yes one hour after arriving on site not 3 hours later after waiting in line to scale ….to many companies try to pay off scale time to scale time.. Don’t like my prices?? Don’t call me, TEAMSR IS A BUSNESS NOT A NONE PROFIT!!!!!!
CANADIAN BORDER CROSSING.....$75.00 need I say any more.
Team SR has been in business since 1985 and is currently running 4 end dumps, 2 hoppers. I'd rather make $1800.00 to $2000.00 per truck per day with 6 trucks, than some other companies with 12 trucks making 800 to $1000 a day per truck and you know who you are……Some times less is more……..
Side note …. On ELDs never used them, never will. There is at least 3 ways around this, use them and stop complaining …go watch Bugs Life where the leaf falls in frount of the ants, they panic and dont know what to do, till someone just walks around. Then go watch Brave Heart… Learn grasshoppers..Stop bowing down to every BS law the government passes………..
