Something I never see talked about. Money. Questionable no doubt. Rates are double billed, (gossip from drivers...) several have said ATS double brokers their loads and skim the linehauls before giving to the drivers. There is No transparancy at all. My experience, OD loads pay same as none OD. Line haul seems less OD bonus. Hmmmm. Identical loads going to New York, (granite loads).... Line haul going over the bridge pays + $750 plus $100 toll, BUT!, the same load NOT GOING OVER bridge into city, 60 miles away to West Point, was same $$ over all. Why the one with the bonuses had a less line haul in amount of bonus? Fishy. Who brokered it? BS. Naturally I took load to West Point. Other loads....customer stated how many miles paid in fuel sur charge, ATS paid15+ miles less. I personally saw this on my bills and statements. EVERY load's mileage paid by ATS by what they state vs actual odometer miles is on my average 85+ miles short (because they say they pay practical miles (I wonder why?)) Think about it...85 mile shorted miles of FSC alone @ 35 cents a mile = $29.75 PER LOAD! X2 loads a week. Rounded to $60 a week, $3000 + a year per driver. Not to mention what the customer actually paid. X1200 drivers = $3.6 est. million a year! No wonder these companies want to cheat their drivers by paying bs practical miles (zip code to zip code) I had some off by over 150 miles! That missed the mark by an entire state! If you complain, they want you to micro inspect your route and response with how many miles each turn is. They tell you your truck will gross upto 180k/year. I grossed 130k first year. Lost my shirt. My calculated per mile on EVERY load is always 10 to 15 cents less a mile then what ATS offers it as, due to actual odometer mileage. One or two times, okay, but every single load?! I keep good records. This way of doing business really screwed me over starting out, but I've adjusted to their schemes and fair a little better. Lost my *** at the starting gate though. Guess that was the plan. Be warned! I could go on all day..... I think I will just put my tin hat back on.....
