All trucking carriers establish their base rates for shipments. Most rates are quoted per 100 pounds, but they will vary across different carriers and lanes. Keep in mind that carriers will alter their base rates if they require an additional volume. They will also increase gross costs for lanes where they have an adequate balance between freight and trucks. The pricing within trucking rates that increases the fastest with carriers is the absolute minimum charge (AMC). The AMC is the lowest amount that carriers will go. Because of the higher costs that carriers have to pay with minimum charge shipments over heavier shipments, many companies continue to request $5 increases to the AMC.

We live in the age of technology. Much of our lives seem to be driven by unseen forces trapped inside sophisticated computer programs we can neither see nor understand. We flip a switch and have instant light, push a button and watch television, pick up our phone and are magically connected to someone thousands of miles away. Apps with high-tech algorithms tell us how to work out, where to eat, or even who to date. However, many of our most basic human needs revolve around the things we can see and touch things like food, beverages, furniture, appliances, cars, and industrial goods. These basic needs aren’t delivered from the manufacturer to the consumer as if by some dark magic. These essential elements in our lives require shipping. Shippers fulfill an important part of the supply chain. Whether by trucking or freight train or air, shippers deliver both packages and cost-savings to their dedicated customers.

The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA) answers the question, “who is an owner-operator” with this definition: “An owner-operator is a business owner who owns a tractor and, on other occasions, a trailer or fleet of trailers.” Owner-operators are independent freight transport drivers that run their transportation business with their vehicles. They can also lease out their services but still use their trailers. Owner-operators manage the day-to-day operations of their business on their own. An owner-operator may act as a driver and/or an employer at the same time.

Whether you’re recruiting a new batch of drivers for your company or interacting with those who have been with you for years, communication with drivers is important. Successful communication with employees is crucial for any profession but comes with unique challenges in the trucking industry. When it comes to the trucking business, communication is king. It’s a business that relies a lot on the coordination of timing in order to be successful. Getting the goods from point A to point B might seem like an easy job, but there’s a lot going on in the background to make it happen.
