OWNER OPERATORS -- CEMENT IN THE DFW AREA --

• Sign on bonus after 90 days  -- after 30 days of truck being leased on, Owner will receive $1000.00 bonus provided the driver is available for dispatch under FMCSA rules and regulations and not turn down any loads; followed up with $1000.00 after 60 days of truck being leased on with the same requirements, and a final payment of $1000.00 after 90 days of the truck being leased on with the same requirements– that will give you a total of a $3000 bonus.  If you leave or remove the truck before meeting the 6 month mark, we will deduct half of whatever bonus was paid to you.
• All equipment must go through an in-house CSA inspection in one of our terminal maintenance shops to get leased on; followed up by one every quarter.  All trucks must have their ECM speed set at no higher than 75 mph.
• All equipment must have a current DOT inspection
• Tractors – we like to see 2002 or newer, but will review your tractor with a CSA inspection to determine eligibility – it must be able to have an ELD installed AND must operate properly; Trailers – must be 1990 or newer.
• Cement runs are mostly drop and hook, so a blower is not required; however, if the truck is equipped with a blower, it will give the owner more options of types of loads
• EFS fuel cards are provided upon request for no additional deposit; however TRANSACTION FEES APPLY when the card is swiped.
• We are legally obligated to cover your liability insurance because you will be running under our authority and our DOT number – there is a $120.00/week charge per truck that covers various required insurances.  We also require a Non-Trucking Liability (bobtail) Policy to be purchased through us for protection to both of us if your truck is operated outside of dispatch for a fee of $12.50/truck per week.
• Physical Damage insurance (comp/coll) is available upon request for 7% of the value of the equipment.  We will take that 7% divide it by 52 weeks in the year, and taken it out weekly.  For example $50,000 value on equipment is $3500/yr.; divided by 52 weeks = $67.31/wk. out of your settlement.  Please be advised that no matter how many days during the month you are on the insurance, you are charged for the ENTIRE month.
• Escrow accounts are required per truck.  $100 per week per truck will be deducted from the weekly settlement until the balance reaches $3500.00.  Additional amount may be added to the escrow account and deducted at any time provided the minimum balance of $3500.00 stays in the account at all times.
• ELD (electronic logging devices) are required for all trucks running under Tutle and Tutle’s authority.  There will be a $15 per week rental fee for the ELD unit.  Our shop will install ELD unit during your orientation, and you must return the ELD to us within 7 days of termination of the lease agreement in good working condition in order to receive your escrow back for the ELD.
• All Owner Operators must qualify according to the DRIVER GUIDELINES set out for hiring.  Pre-employment processing fees of $250.00 (plus any other additional state fees for applicable background checks) are charged for each driver completely processed.  That is from application in to seat in the truck.
