Power only in South Dakota - Minimum Revenue Guaranteed

I am looking for a couple short term trucks (with the potential to become a permanent arrangement) to pull our hopper bottom doubles doing local/regional hauling in central and eastern South Dakota Trucks can start immediately and this will last until sometime in November.

We are committed to making this a mutually beneficial deal and are willing to contractually guarantee minimum revenues to ensure that this is a worthwhile deal for anyone who signs on. Most days trucks will run between 2-6 round-trip short hauls and will total 300-500 miles. Loads are usually available 7 days a week during harvest. There are times when we do hourly type work. We do our best on our end to mitigate time spent in lines waiting to load or unload. There would be some field loading, but only in ideal conditions and the customers we work with do a very good job of getting us loaded and back on the road quickly.

Trucks with a pusher axle are preferred but not mandatory. You will need to license your truck in SD for 150,000# if you have a pusher axle and 142,000# if you don't have one. For trucks that already have SD commercial plates, the cost to increase your tonnage from 40 tons to 75 tons during this time will cost less than $300. For out of state licensed trucks it will most likely cost even less as it goes by percentage of miles driven in SD. Trucks will also need to put an additional insurance policy on trailer. The cost of this is minimal and we are willing to reimburse you for this.

We are paying $2.15/mile on ALL dispatched miles (loaded or empty) for trucks with a pusher axle and $2.00/mile for trucks without a pusher axle. We will pay you once we have been paid, up to 30 days max. At 30 days we pay you regardless of whether or not we have been paid. Quick pay is available for a small fee. Trucks that elect to take quick pay will be paid about 48-72 hours after each load. That could be even quicker depending on what we can work out to get paperwork turned in to our office.

We're not trying to hide anything here and with that said I'll outline a couple of things that are different when pulling doubles. You will only get 3.5-4.5 mpg. Pulling the heavier weights is harder on your truck. But for anyone out there looking for some steady work for a couple months, this is an opportunity to bring home decent money. Most weeks, the truck can expect to gross between $4,000-6,000.

Anyone interested can call or text on my cell or you can email me or message me on here.
