Trucking is so crooked, I ran a few months as a fresh and clueless O/O ignorant of how FSC worked and turns out I wasn't getting squat. Knowledge is power! Great video.

Non-trucker here. You explanation was the best one by far from anyone else’s I’ve seen. 👍

Excellent, Informative, History, and can't wait for more. Thanks Mark

Great video! Thanks for the history lesson as well!

Thank you so much for the info , just getting started on the sales part of Logistics Transportation and you helped me out alot. God bless you.

Now that is a very good education! I did not know why it was and how to figure. Cool! thank you for the video!

Okay thanks Mark. I'll look forward to them video's.😎😎

Peace and love! I just wanted to tell you, you have the best video on fuel surcharge!!!! Keep it in the road my brother, watch those 4 wheelers, cause they are not looking for you!!! ;-D

Not a driver but found this video intriguing. Very interesting and well presented.

Awesome video!, very well explained

Thank you so much for your video explaining in simple terms the FSC and its ramifications, and how there is reason to doubt the "legalese" in language used by Prime, perhaps by many other trucking companies (because Prime might not be the only exception to that strategy to skim off ill-gotten revenue at the cost of the trucker).

Awesome video!

Hi Mark good to meet you and love your channel! PRIDE TRANSPORT driver currently. JT

Woooooow great video

Thank you very helpful video

excellent video felt like. i was watching trucking history channel lol

Thank you 🙏🏾

Thank you so much you are awesome

Wow thank you

Great video and thank's for doing it for us, very well explained, Is it legal for brokers and co's to keep a portion of the fsc and not give it to the one paying for the fuel??

your great sir

You are really pro on what you do my friend 👍🏻. Please allow me to ask Question 1) can you explain how this surcharge is paid for leaser and o/o and company drivers..? Question 2) is fuel surcharge what you (the driver) pays instate of the actual sticker price on the pump? or is addition fee that the driver pays on the top of the price of the pump? I am little confused...Thank you in advance Mark...

Thanks..

How do you like the transition from the military to trucking? I'm a usmc vet soon to be done with my contract.

Funny thing is it's almost happening today again..rising fuel prices may run truckers out of business

Interesting history lesson for those of us who are just starting out and how it works, and I find it amazing that it has not changed much in nearly 40 years. I have a question that is a bit off the topic but I hope you could shed some light on it. My question has to do with the "coffin sleepers" that some Prime drivers have, as someone who is a fairly "big and tall" man would they stick me in something that small or could I opt to have a full size?

hi, could not find part 2 and 3 :(, if you can , can you tell me how for example UPS charge their 11% ? is it based on the pichup to dropoff distance (for eg 200 miles) ?? if not please explain. thanks

I see that Rock of the Marne pin on your hat.

More Prime bait and switch..but thanks,it was a good effort.

good to know even though you put me to sleep on this.

For that final equation is it 1200 miles x .26= 312. Is the 312 refer to gallons or how much you will spend on fuel?

I get a 1.40 flat rate as an owner op??? Lease company say fuel surcharge is included in the rate

Is it a 1.25 for everyone ? That the standard never changes ?

Thank you Mart, first question is what about the refer fuel? Do you get FSC for refer fuel. Second, why is the OO responsible for any of the fuel? The cost of the fuel, should be built into the cost of the freight. The way any other business would determine the cost to sell anything. e.g. the cost of stolen retail item is add to the cost of the item sold.

How do I figure out my protection amount

Brokers off of loadboards dont consider fsc they might get paid for it by shipper but won't pass it down to carriers. Broker most of the time only pay for linehaul with possible accesorials if you qualify they might haggle on the linehaul rate $50+

OK this is probably a stupid question but I'm just a little suspicious now . The people I drive for otr is deducting the cost of the fuel off the top of each load we run. as a independent contractor and since all the fuel is deducted off the load and effects my pay shouldn't I get part of the fuel surcharge check that the owners of my truck recieve. Yes or No.... Thanks for the awesome video. Very informative.

hi mark u got some great info , i try calling my company (jones motor group) to ask what was our price protection point amount . They flat out told me they didnt know what i was talking abaut . is there a way to figure out that with out their help ?

Thanks for the educational video, I just started lease to rent to this company out of Illinois and they don’t have fuel surcharges. Is that normal/common?

What happened to you? I haven't seen no videos in awhile?? Lol. You always had good stuff.

#HandGraph!👍

1000 spoil tankers waiting offshore or the prices go up to the false shortage

How do you determine the driver protection point to be $1.25 ???

that intro though

I have a question, plz I hope someone sees this, Do most brokers pay fuel surcharge? Because sometimes I get good rates but I'm noticing some rate confirmations don't show any fuel surcharge..so I wanna know if this company is skimming me out, im on a load right now pays 3000 for 1700 miles, it shows kno fuel surcharge n im like fuck it doesn't make sense, plz anyone id appreciate it

I'm screwed

If a company says 100% fuel surcharge what does that mean good or bad

someone did the formula cause I'm still stuck lol

$1.30 minimum - mile after all expenses profits

so really the company should be paying %100 of the FSC. it seems to me if they are not then they are stealing from the driver.

Is everything ok with your health ?! Your eye balls are bigger than Marty Feldman !
