Not necessarily, but sometimes. Consider any details that fall outside the scope of normal delivery, like special handling, special instructions, etc., to make sure your rate covers any costs and reimburses you for “above and beyond” inconveniences in addition to your hard costs per mile. The Truckstop.com Load Board includes rates tools that make sure you get the pay you deserve on every load. Our Book It Now features even lets you book loads with brokers you trust in a few fast clicks. The rate is shown up front, and no negotiations are required. You can even book the load outside broker business hours when other owner-operators might not be looking for loads.
