<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">The rate of growth in the ground
transportation industry is at levels not seen before. Many corporations desire
the shipment of items throughout the United States quickly, and with few
complications impacting the cargo safety or expected arrival. The web has no
doubt led the list of influences resulting in this substantial growth. Because
of these factors, Status Transportation truckers report this year has
demonstrated a consistently increasing demand for freight services.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: center;">This is not to say the condition is identical
at all trucking businesses. Some employ drivers to maximize the productivity of
their present fleet, while others work with unrestricted owner operators who
possess their own trucks or trucks and trailers. Status Transportation Corp is
a logistics agent that efficiently matches owner operators with freight that
needs to move from point A to point B.</span><br />

<h2>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN">Why lease-on with
Status Transportation?<o:p></o:p></span></b></h2>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Status trucking is not identical to other ground shipping companies. Although there is much that is the same, we believe we are different in some important ways. First, we were formed from the perspective of an owner operator. Our founder was in the driver’s seat for years and realized there should be opportunities for owner operators to maximize their business without losing their independence. In our unique approach, we work carefully with all our operators to generate maximum income and return on investment. Whether you own your truck outright or finance, you’ll be capable of generating a secure living if working with us.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Status Transportation is a logistics industry leader due to these important reasons:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><b>Small company scale allows for more devoted assistance to owner operators</b></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
As a smaller firm, we are better equipped to give personalized attention to owner operators. We are different than large trucking companies who may be more apt to view their drivers as a tiny factor in an immense web of identical working units. Status Transportation Corporation retains a smaller population of owner operators to lease on with us.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This results in the need for our team to dedicate their equipment for the purpose of moving freight for us. Their trucks, trailers, and flatbeds are the tools they bring to the job in order to transport cargo. In return, we enable them to enjoy a more fruitful environment due to the logistic support that results in better efficiency and income. As a side benefit, many Status Transportation truckers report that the job is simpler than it would be strictly on their own.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At Status Transportation, each driver has a committed freight coordinator. This individual works with the driver to maximize a weekly working schedule and route that make the best use of the time and resources (and loads) available. This feature translates into higher profits. Each load of freight and its final destination is chosen to maximize margin. Because of the robust relationships generated between dispatchers and drivers, the results are easily enhanced over a large company. We also invest in our owner operators, offering non-stop employee education opportunities, and benefits like pay advances and fuel cards.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><b>You decide your own work schedule</b></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you have purchased your own truck, you most likely wouldn’t desire to be in a forced dispatch situation. Many trucking operations will demand a minimum of working hours and will require their drivers to be on the road to fulfill that. They may also require them to drive to places that they may not prefer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSYHubVMkuGkeaq2OtVu3qk__3zLD8I0LspAlkThvwlJYbyADLBJbdr-IDVdRa7zYjwS5XHgM_b4EkRfblPV_Ju0R4vb6PQfS333qxu3UtwugbLTeKmmMgqD6R61RBI2Se2yPpOrIQyTjV/s1600/road-237384_1280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Status transportation truckers report the assistance they get from the company is vital to their decision to stay leased on with Status Transportation." border="0" data-original-height="466" data-original-width="700" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSYHubVMkuGkeaq2OtVu3qk__3zLD8I0LspAlkThvwlJYbyADLBJbdr-IDVdRa7zYjwS5XHgM_b4EkRfblPV_Ju0R4vb6PQfS333qxu3UtwugbLTeKmmMgqD6R61RBI2Se2yPpOrIQyTjV/s320/road-237384_1280.jpg" title="Truck rolling down the highway" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Status Transportation truckers report their desire to make these decisions on their own is high. The expectation of independence comes with the owner operator experience and is respected at Status Transportation. Of course, it is in all parties' best interest to maintain enough activity to earn a living—and pay one's expenses—and Status Transportation understands that, too. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nevertheless, you’ll have more freedom to work in the way you wish than you would at a large, impersonal trucking company. Additionally, your devoted freight coordinator will assist your routing plan to maximize your efforts while on the road.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><b>Availability of repair and maintenance services </b></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Eventually, your truck’s maintenance and repair schedule will become a reality. What you don’t want to do at that moment is wonder where you can have the work done. Time looking for the right repair and maintenance facility is more time spent off the road. Status Transportation is proud to say it is one of only a few transportation companies to offer a fully-equipped tractor trailer repair and maintenance facility to its team members.</div>

<div>
<div>
As a transportation company, Status Transportation wouldn’t be as successful as it has been without the dedicated group of owner operators we have. We recognize the work they do, the product volume they move and their daily commitment to safety.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For these reasons, we devote a good deal of our resources towards assisting owner operators and their goals. Because you purchased your own truck and equipment, we aspire to be a supporter of successful business operations—like yours!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It appears clear that Status Transportation truckers report a favorable opinion of the added benefits we offer when leasing-on here.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>Financing options</b></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you are in need of new equipment or expensive replacement parts, we are there to support you. We provide a one hundred percent tax-deductible financing alternative that allows you to buy a new trailer, tractor, or parts. By offering this, we help our team of owner operators become fully independent and most importantly, profitable. When your equipment is fully operational, freight is moved on time to its destination. We label this a win-win situation.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>Freight that is easy to work with</b></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After hours of driving, the least enjoyable task one can imagine doing is detailed reporting, paperwork, scheduling of inspections and other minutiae. Status Transportation handles many business tasks for you, permitting you to focus on tomorrow’s load. The time you save by having us do that work can translate into one extra trip or a more favorable destination that matches your needs better.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>Sustainable profits</b></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Owner operators who work with us can enjoy regular profits due to our generous rates. If you have your own tractor, our pay-out is 75% of gross ($50 per week for the trailer). Tractor and trailer owners get 85% of gross income (all at no insurance cost).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Our owner operators earn a good living. As much as $7500 per week doing both regional and long runs. Those who work fewer hours make roughly an average of $4000 a week. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To assist you further in keeping costs under control, we issue gasoline cards that insulate you from varying fuel prices on the road.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h2>
What else do Status Transportation truckers report on favorably?</h2>
<div>
Our truckers report that they enjoy several other perks as owner operators with Status Transportation Corporation. In addition to no forced dispatch, agreeable working hours, no forced dispatch, and exceptional pay, we simply make the job easier. Our owner operators enjoy almost exclusively no-touch freight hauls. We negotiate great rates for both regional and long runs, and our weekly settlements are instrumental in making private budgeting easier.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Given all these positive characteristics, our loyal Status Transportation truckers report their enthusiasm daily to our dispatchers and management. It is encouraging to hear back positive reports from those who have entrusted their careers to our company, and it is our privilege to reflect that same attitude back to the team on the road.</div>

<br />This topic is very important for every Owner operator like us because we understand that we are running a business now, and like every other business we must file and pay our taxes. Which means our profit will be impacted if we miss out on a legit tax deduction that is under our nose, just because we are not well informed or confused and we end up overpaying the IRS.<br /><br />You want to succeed as an owner operator and earn the money you expect, it is imperative that you educate yourself on how to manage effectively your business money. You will be very happy with how much cash you keep when you have a plan for taxes deduction. We always recommend finding an expert on the subject that will help you clarify what can an owner operator claim on taxes, at least for the first years until you get comfortable and maybe do it yourself.<br /><br />Every <a href="https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/self-employed-individuals-tax-center" target="_blank">self-employed</a> situation is unique, but in the following overview, we will list the most common deductions for tax purposes that will help you avoid pitfalls on the Tax Code and will help you save some money during tax season, making your trucking business life so much easier all over the year as well.<br /><h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
What can an Owner Operator claim on taxes by category</h3>
The most important thing, to begin with, is to remember to keep a record of all of your expenses, write down the type of expense, date and amount in your logbook. Save the receipts in a binder and recording them later into your bookkeeping program. Paying with a credit card can be helpful too to validate the expense.<br /><h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
Capital Expenses</h3>
As part of what owner operators can claim on taxes, the IRS recommends that you capitalize instead of just claiming costs. They encourage you to invest in your business to make it grow. Expenses on business start-ups, improvements or purchasing business assets add value to your trucking business increasing your net worth like the following examples:<br /> <br />The Tractor.- You have a few options to write off the cost of your truck, like these 3; 1)during the year the vehicle is put into service depreciating it by 50% of the cost, 2) immediate expensing and 3) normal depreciation for a recovery period of three or five years. But it can also be used as a combination of all 3 if it applies to you.<br />Tractor Lease.- Having a lease-purchase agreement can help you deduct the expense. Just don’t forget that the down payment is not part of a lease agreement and you won’t be able to deduct it.<br />Personal Expenses<br /> <br />It can be confusing to know what owner operators are allowed to claim on taxes, but one thing is for sure you won’t be allowed to deduct personal expenses, you need to find a way to make this expense as if is part of your company expenses. For example having some expenses that your company and your living expenses, try to divide the total cost and deduct a percentage of that cost. You most likely use your home for your living but also for your trucking business, right? Then you might choose a room and the garage as part of the business facilities deducting the home repairs, mortgage, utilities, etc. Check with your accountant for your specific situation.<br /><h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
Business Expenses</h3>
Take a look at the Deducting Business Expenses from the <a href="https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/deducting-business-expenses" target="_blank">IRS webpage</a>, you will see that they define business expenses the following way: “the cost of carrying on a trade or business. These expenses are usually deductible if the business operates to make a profit”. Keeping this mind let's look at the following examples that can be deducted as business expenses:<br /> <br />Operating Expenses.- Obviously this is part of what an owner operator can claim on taxes this is the most common expenses in the business and of course, they are deductible. Fuel, maintenance for your truck, insurance plans, permits, government fees, along with the self-employment tax and any other fee you get to pay to continue running your company. <br />Food and Meals.- Having meals away from your home, metro area or municipality, you may definitely deduct up to $63 per day. This will only apply if you need to stop for a meal in order to rest to continue performing well while driving. Just never forget to keep your receipt as we mentioned before<br /> <br />Lodging.- Yes, you can deduct lodging, and just like on meals don't forget to save your receipt. And one other important thing; in order to claim this expense you are required to have a residence, being an itinerant it could not be possible for you to claim lodging, even meals can be affected by this situation, because they will consider that you are never away from home if you don't have any.<br />Expenses you have on the road.- You are allowed to include in this type of expenses your personal laundry, maps, safety gear, your logbooks, office supplies, cleaning supplies, tools, cargo straps and any other related expense that you consider necessary to perform your job well.<br /><br /><div>
Communication Expenses.- You are able to deduct the cost of your cell phone, cell phone accessories, phone cards, pager, your cell phone plan, internet, satellite radios, CB radio, and subscription are deductibles with their proper receipt. All these items are part of what you as an owner operator can claim on your taxes.<br /></div>
<div>
Other Expenses.- Is possible to deduct also some of the following: computer and software that you use for your trucking business, business-related subscriptions, medical exams like drug testing, DOT physical, eye exam, glasses, apnea studies and any other medical exams related to your trucking compliance. You can also deduct retirement and insurance plans for your spouse and for yourself. Per diem, if you are away from home overnight, accounting services, bank fees,<br /><h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
Expenses that are Not Deductible</h3>
You can easily get confused, especially filing your own taxes or if someone told you what can an owner operator claim on taxes and then you try to claim some of those expenses that are definitely not deductible. You might give the IRS a reason to audit your owner operator business. So be very careful when you are not paying the services of an expert.<br /></div>
<div>
You cannot deduct the following: Street clothing, your time performing maintenance for your truck, dog as security, deadhead and unpaid miles and income lost for downtime. <br /></div>
<div>
Now you know what can an owner operator claim on taxes, but remember that you need to keep your records of every expense for you to claim it. We believe that is a smart idea to find help from a tax preparer whom can help you keep the most money and that it will keep you informed on any changes in the law that could affect your <a href="https://statustrucks.com/owner-operator-business/" target="_blank">owner operator business</a>.<br /> </div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">It appears like there's a </span>never-ending<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> look for the very best owner operator trucking company When you check out the posts, the story is usually the very same, so-and-so went over to this carrier and they claim they're simply doing so better or you know someone over here is doing this over at this carrier. </span><br />
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

In some cases when you go on Facebook or an online forum you see a long thread, specifically owner operators talking about changing carriers, and the same thing is applicable whether you're an owner operator or a company driver. Well there's a couple things that you need to consider before you jump ship and go to another carrier.</span></div>

The other 80% in the middle is going to have the very same issues whether you are with carrier A, B, or C. It does not matter since they're all doing the exact same job they're all going to have the similar situations.</span></div>

You're going to forego your owner operator pay for a couple of weeks due to the fact that when you quit one carrier you're going to have to go through orientation at the next one.</span></div>

If you're actually sure that you want to change owner operator jobs, you need to have about a month's worth of expenditures in the bank prior to you even consider it since you're going to go at least 2 to 3 weeks without a check.</span></div>

These drivers switch owner operator jobs every few months thinking they'll get much better loads at a different company when in reality is a low season for everybody. They go over a prolonged and costly procedure just to come back to their initial carrier.</span></div>

The latter is the hardest thing to do, however, an excellent mindset and good interaction can go a long way. One way you'll identify the best owner operator companies is by the way they interact with their owner operators and their willingness to listen to them and work out a situation.</span></div>

No matter where you go the very first 2 or 3 weeks are going to be the hardest ones, so be financially prepared for it. More than not the first weeks you’ll incur multiple expenses like having to pay for insurance, plates, maybe some truck maintenance depending on your rig, etc. Typically, it takes around 90 days to really evaluate if an owner operator trucking company is a good fit. Anything less than that is not enough time to have an informed opinion about a company. Don’t go out thinking the company is not doing its job.</span></div>

He is a great advocate educating yourself as an owner operator in order to be more successful. Part of that education is to learn how to calculate your cost to run your truck per mile. That way you’ll be able to identify where your money is going and control the costs of running your business. Having a clear understanding of these topics will be of great benefit in planning for the future so you can achieve your both your personal and professional goals in owner operator trucking.</span></div>

Using a 21 pocket expanding folder and labeling it can help you to keep track of all those fuel, toll, and scale receipts.

Fortunately, 2017 marked the beginning of a more positive future for the trucking business. As one of the best owner operator companies, Status Transportation has a finger on the pulse in the owner operator trucking industry and can attest to this.</span></div>

IPI tracks the amount of output from manufacturing activities. Although GDP has a direct impact on the economy, owner operator trucking jobs have a direct correlation with IPI. That’s why it’s so important to keep track of this indicator.</span></div>

Load rates were slowly picking up but still nothing compared to load rates back in 2014. Fortunately, this year we can see a new perspective. As of April 2017, there was an IP growth of 1.0% and commodity prices are starting to stabilize which will also increase production. Owner Operator jobs will see an increment in available loads, and thus an increase in owner operator pay. </span></div>

<br />
<h3>
How it Started</h3>
When Status Transportation started its business (back in 2009), we started offering <a href="http://www.statustrucks.com/jobs/">owner operator jobs</a> to independent truck drivers with one truck and one trailer. Status owned a 12-year-old trailer with a translucent roof obtained in barely working condition. When <a href="http://www.statustransportationreviews.com/">Status Transportation</a> sent its truck to pick up a load, many shippers rejected the trailer as soon as it arrived at the shipper's facility due to its age, interior condition, unacceptable roof type and a dozen other reasons. Some of these reasons were legitimate and some were prompted due to the overall condition of the trailer. However, the owner operator trucking business was picking up and we needed to find a solution to upgrade our trailer. We had to find a solution to the trailer issue because when we first opened our doors we had also acquired a second trailer in similar conditions.<br />
<br />
Status Transportation applied to lease trailers from major semi trailer leasing companies, but the application was immediately rejected because of the company’s short business and credit history. Status had been in business for only 3 months and that did not help. Thanks to a very lucky turn of events, an Illinois-based trailer lease company was about to start operations in Lakeland, FL and they were looking for clientele. Status Transportation, located in Winter Garden, FL came in knocking on their door since the trailer rental place was just 30 miles away.<br />
<br />
Just in the first year, Status expanded to 9 owner operators, therefore it leased 8 additional dry vans to keep up with growth. During the second year, 9 additional trucks were added to the company and the need for trailers increased even more. The very first trailer ended its days, nobody remembers exactly where, so as far as trailers there was a total of 18 rented trailers.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<h3>
Purchased or Leased Trailers?</h3>
Leasing trailers was very convenient but after careful calculations, Status discovered there were other factors to consider. First of all, Status Transportation was responsible for the maintenance of leased equipment. When a trailer was turned in, the trailer leasing company inspected it and measured tires and brakes for wear. They would also measure tire tread by 1/32 and compare it to the inspection report made on the day when the trailer left their yard. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxjXvARMP-hJ8ToiBS_r-GqqXsu2L8UA-1YPr68mChZgR1h7Ik5__7EfSys2M3tqlODlPC76FuMMYjqso63wXAu4z6WINkRg0tDolJWHuL5w-AO6At_0vp9RpdVDAgt5LlyXOA4XfREBHF/s1600/Status-Transportation-Purchasing-vs-Leasing-a-Trailer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Status Transportation: Purchasing vs Leasing a Trailer" border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxjXvARMP-hJ8ToiBS_r-GqqXsu2L8UA-1YPr68mChZgR1h7Ik5__7EfSys2M3tqlODlPC76FuMMYjqso63wXAu4z6WINkRg0tDolJWHuL5w-AO6At_0vp9RpdVDAgt5LlyXOA4XfREBHF/s320/Status-Transportation-Purchasing-vs-Leasing-a-Trailer.jpg" title="Status Transportation: Purchasing vs Leasing a Trailer" width="320" /></a></div>
Afterward, the receiving person would walk around the trailer to inspect if there were any other deficiencies such as scratches on the sides, missing or broken mud flaps, missing of burned bulbs, broken air lines, and miscellaneous deficiencies. After returning the trailer, Status Transportation would receive a bill outlining all the charges that needed to be paid and pay the invoice at a later time.<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
Status Trucks realized that trailer rental money would never be paid back and the investment to upkeep trailers would never pay off. For that very obvious reason, we made the decision to buy our own trailers. It is important to notice that at the very beginning of the business operation buying a trailer was not even an option. The company was too young and no bank or financial institution would lend Status the money. Two years later, though, the situation had changed. Status was about to celebrate its 2nd anniversary and around that time applied for financing at two different financial institutions for a loan to purchase 6 new trailers. Each institution approved the loan for enough money to buy 3 trailers. <br />
<br />
It was necessary to mark trailer with our logo, website, phone number, etc. Status found a local vinyl sticker vendor located in Orlando, FL. Everything seemed to be very clear and easy, although there was a major problem, we had to pick up the trailers at a plant located in <a href="http://www.ci.stoughton.wi.us/">Stoughton, WI</a>. We decided to fly and bring the vinyl stickers in person to the manufacturing plant. Thankfully, a security guard on site allowed the Status personnel to access the storage yard and place the stickers on the newly purchased trailers. Trailer branding was taken care of and now we needed to focus on paying them off and continue growing as a company.<br />
<br />
As far as our expectations for these new trailers, we wanted these trailers to become an investment. There are multiple benefits from buying vs leasing, but one of the main advantages was that we would not see our money disappear into thin air since payments toward paying off the trailers were actually turning into company property. As company property, we could also gradually expense these trailers over time as they depreciated. It is important for new businesses to find ways to leverage its assets for maximum efficiency and increase profits.<br />
<br />
Owning the trailers also gave Status Trucks the ability to decide how to upkeep the new equipment. Now that the trailers were company property we were in charge of maintaining them but most importantly we could also decide how much and when to invest in maintenance. This was an option we did not have before.</div>

<h3>
New Trailers vs Older Leased Trailer</h3>
Status Transportation observed an important fact when completing the initial trailer purchase. At the beginning of business operations, all leased trailers were around 5 years old. Leased trailers exchanged the hands of independent truck drivers or other owner operator companies many times in their life. The constant exchange created a wide range of problems, which could be determined as a lack of ownership problem. Trailer renters do not want to invest a significant amount of money into equipment that does not belong to them. Therefore, many of those rented trailers would barely be repaired, or repaired only to a point where they pass the return inspection, but then break down again very soon. <br />
<br />
Having rental equipment was becoming a big headache for some of the owner operators Status was running. On the other side, the new equipment was a huge relief. The recently acquired equipment was brand new and also had virgin tires and brakes. Practice showed that trailers did not require any serious maintenance for nearly two years, other than tire and brake wear of course. This was a significant saving. <br />
<br />
Another benefit of having our own trailers was that it was up to Status to determine to what level, standard and how the equipment was to be maintained. Status was now the owner of the equipment and it was very clear that it was worth investing the money into high standard maintenance. Preventive maintenance extended equipment life, helped to avoid unexpected breakdowns on the side of the road, and also helped in retaining trailer's market value in case we needed to sell any of the units at some point.<br />

It is important to mention that having new trailers reduced previous trailer rejection rate to nearly zero percent for our owner operators. Nobody in their right mind would think about rejecting brand new, food grade dry van.<br />
<br />
It was very clear for the Status Trucks team that buying its own trailers to support the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMeCRPaIswo" target="_blank">owner operator trucking</a> business was a very reasonable decision on so many levels. This understanding led to the future purchase of our own vans, flatbeds and minimized the need for leased equipment that tends to cause a lot of unnecessary expenses.<br />

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">At <a href="https://vimeo.com/173816139" target="_blank">Status Transportation</a> we are continuously reviewing alternatives on how to maximize owner operator pay. One very cost effective option is to invest in technology to help you to lessen diesel consumption like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auxiliary_power_unit">APU</a> Units. For this reason, we have taken the time to review multiple idling alternatives to help you debunk the myths on the cons of investing in an auxiliary power unit.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">If you are on the market for an APU, you will be likely to bump into websites that list the advantages or the lack of benefits to buying an auxiliary power unit. Regardless of the information out there the incentives should not be measured only by reduced fuel consumption, which by itself it is a very good benefit that has a direct impact on your bottom line, but also by reduced engine maintenance and reduced CO2 emissions which are good for the environment. That last point by itself should be a very good reason to install an APU unit installed on your truck.</span></div>

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">There are some articles based on studies which may not be very accurate. For example, a 2005 study conducted by the North Carolina Solar Center concluded that there was not a real difference between using a base engine or an APU when idling. How can this be you may ask? Volvo received $350,254 out of the $500,000 awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to the NC State University for designing an APU Prep Kit, evaluate the performance of mobile idle reduction technology (MIRT), fuel, maintenance, engine life savings, payback times and user reactions. </span>

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">The APU Prep-Kit designed by Volvo was not used by field study trucks during the study, although Volvo later in 2008 received 572 new truck orders with the Prep-Kit option selected. There is no denying Volvo did a great job at designing a Pre-Kit that paved the road for standardized mounting locations on semi trucks and better methods for more secure mobile idle-reduction technology installations. As far as the results of the study, the same report does state that the sample of trucks in the study is not a nationally representative sample, and these only represent a portion of those trucks currently on the road. Therefore, we can conclude the results of this study do not have real world application because the sample is skewed.</span></div>

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">At this moment, there are an estimated 15.5 million trucks operating in the United States. According to the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology Bureau of Transportation Statistics, there was a 76.4% percent change in U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Domestic Freight Transportation from 1990 to 2013. For this reason, many states have adopted commercial vehicle idling regulations. For example, commercial vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of 10,000 lbs or heavier are not allowed to idle for more than 5 minutes within California's borders. Idling is allowed only when stuck in traffic, when necessary for vehicle inspection or if your truck meets idling emission standards and is not located within 100 feet from a residential area. Fines for violating idling laws start at $300 or can be as high as $1000 per day.</span></div>

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">The safety department at <span style="color: black;">Status Transportation reviews</span> <a href="https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/" target="_blank">FMCSA</a> rules and regulations to help owner operators to stay compliant. FMCSA's 11-hour rule limits United States drivers to drive a maximum of 11 hours per day in a 14-hour work day. Due to extreme weather conditions in different parts of the country, it is crucial for drivers to idle during their down time, which depending on the weather could mean the engine is on idle for another 10 hours straight. At a rate a gallon per hour on idle multiplied by 10 hours per day, in one month we are talking about close to 300 hours just on idling, but with an increasing number of states adopting no-idle laws, what options do owner operators have for cab comfort? The same state that is known for imposing strict environmental protection laws, which is California, also has some very useful suggestions. For example, the California Environmental Protection Agency recommends using fuel-fired heaters (with some restrictions), truck stop hookups for heating and cooling, or using an auxiliary power unit. Yes, you read that right, the CEPA recommends using APU units and they not only do it because they are environmentally friendly but from experience at Status Transportation we can tell you it is also cost effective. Let's examine the other two options suggested by the California Environmental Protection Agency so you can compare the savings.</span></div>

<h2>
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Anti-idle Systems</span></h2>
<h2 class="western" lang="en-US">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="h.ktu9876qjaaw"></a></h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Diesel-fired heaters are useful if you are looking for a quick solution that will help you to preheat your cab and it's easy to install. The downside to these is that they do not offer a cooling option and you need to buy a separate unit to pre-heat your engine.</div>

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Truck stop AC hookups are becoming more common and some of these options like idleair even offer movie streaming and internet access. Pilot and Love's truck stops offer it for around $1.50 per hour. At the moment their website only lists 32 locations so although the extras make it a very attractive option it is not very accessible unless you happen to find one on your way. Unlike APU units or diesel-fired heaters, IdleAir is limited to AC and does not have the option to pre-heat your engine.</span></div>

<h2>
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">APU Unit Savings</span></h2>
<h2 class="western" lang="en-US">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="h.zevuyt91n0r7"></a></h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">The convenience of an APU unit is that it goes wherever the driver goes. APU units only consume 0.30 gallons of diesel per hour compared to 1 gallon per hour on idle. This means drivers can have the comfort of staying cool during the summer or warm in the winter only a fraction of the cost compared to idling. </span>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Auxiliary Power Units can be categorized into two types: integrated systems and stand-alone. As the name implies, stand-alone systems are separate from truck components and act as a backup by having their own engine, condenser, generator and power outlets. These systems are typically installed on the side of the truck under the sleeper in a weather resistant enclosure. Integrated APU units take advantage of the trucks resources recirculating the truck's coolant to provide heat inside the cab and for the engine. These units use everything except for the truck's AC compressor. There are hybrid units that tie to some of the truck's resources and also have their own components but the majority of units can be categorized as integrated or stand-alone.</span></div>

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">For example, The ACEMCO Auxiliary Power Unit is an integrated non-intrusive unit to the truck's OE systems. ACEMCO APU's have a stand-alone 3-cylinder diesel engine mounted on the side of the truck inside a lightweight fully insulated aluminum enclosure. These units not only solve your AC needs but also help to charge your truck battery when the voltage drops below a given point. Like an integrated APU system, this unit has its own radiator & condenser, HVAC unit, coolant vent tank and an in-cab display module.</span></div>

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">As you can see there are multiple idle-reducing technologies available to owner operators who are looking for ways to extend their truck’s engine life and save money on diesel consumption. Although out of the mobile alternatives, auxiliary power units are by far the most convenient and cost-effective in the long run. </span>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
My name is Victor, I am one of the dispatcher supervisors at Status Transportation. Status Transportation reviews its weekend strategy for owner operators and for this reason, today I want to talk to you about maximizing your <a href="https://www.quicken.com/what-gross-income" target="_blank">gross income</a> as a regional or OTR owner operator by optimizing your loads over the weekend.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We know home time is very important for every driver. Both regional and OTR owner operators want to be with their families, friends, on special occasions, national holidays, Christmas, etc. Also, there are many regional drivers in the transportation industry who have families waiting for them every weekend, so we know how important this is for them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We've heard people say <a href="http://www.statustrucks.com/jobs/" target="_blank">regional owner operators</a> make less money than over the road owner operators, so we decided to take a closer look at the reasons why this happens. We noticed regional owner operators prefer to stay closer to home by driving in the surrounding five states to their own state and head back to their home state on Fridays. This with the purpose of being back home for the weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the other hand, OTR drivers tend to spend more time on the road because they stay out for three to four weeks before heading back. It depends on the driver, but for the most part, OTR drivers are out on the road a minimum of 21 days per month and only take few days off, unlike regional drivers who tend to be home almost every weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Analyzing the workweek of a regional owner operator up close we can see that the week usually starts by picking up the first load on Monday morning and in many cases delivering the last load by Friday morning. This frees up the rest of the afternoon on Friday, extending the weekend to 3 days and therefore making it a four-day workweek. If there is an average of 4 weeks in a month, that means regional operators are working only 16 days a month or half a month. In the transportation industry, you cannot expect to make a good living as an owner operator by working only four days a week. So in conclusion owner, regional owner operators make less money than OTR drivers because they drive fewer days.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Status Transportation reviewing those numbers developed a solution to help drivers to maximize owner operator pay and counteract the previous situation. All this done without sacrificing home time which is one of the reasons why drivers sign up for an option that allows them to stay closer to home.</div>
<br />

<br />
<h2>
</h2>
<h2>
</h2>
<h2>
The Solution</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since reducing home time for regional owner operators was not an option, <a href="https://statustransportation.blogspot.com/2016/09/status-transportation-purchasing-vs.html" target="_blank">Status Transportation</a> reviewed different alternatives to help them maximize profits without sacrificing home time. If owner operators pick up another load immediately after delivering on Friday that is scheduled to be delivered on Monday, that way they can go home with a trailer loaded and be ready to continue working immediately on Monday. Hence, increasing the number of loads and maximizing income.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The solution is simple but when followed with consistency it can have a significant impact on increasing profits.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Allow me to explain, upon delivery on Friday, drivers receive another load that they can pick up that same Friday afternoon, this load is scheduled to be delivered on Monday morning. This constitutes an additional load a week, if looked from a monthly perspective this turns into an extra 4 loads a month or 52 loads a year, which is a very considerable revenue. The important factor to consider is that all this is done without sacrificing owner operator's home time. Also, rather than being three days at home and without a load, now they get to be two days at home while increasing their <a href="http://financial-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/profit" target="_blank">profit</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The same exact strategy applies to OTR owner operators delivering on Saturdays. If you do this every other Saturday or let's say each week then as an OTR owner operator you are increasing your loads by 52 more loads a year, and not only that, you are also spending more time on the road and increasing the number of miles you drive each week.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We work together with owner operators to get them home, or for a special occasion or whatever the event is by having them talk to their dispatchers in advance. Let's say you live in Cleveland Ohio, as soon as you arrive in Cleveland Ohio, where your hometown is, we want to make sure that you get reloaded that same day. The reason why we want to do this is because you can reload, head back home and spend time home with your family while your trailer is loaded and ready to be delivered first thing on Monday. This also allows your dispatcher to focus on securing another load for you while you are still working.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also, while you are home on a <a href="https://keeptruckin.com/blog/34-hour-restart-rule%29" target="_blank">34-hour restart</a>, you can have your trailer loaded and scheduled to deliver on Monday reducing the wait time between your restart and your next load. That way while you are waiting at home you know you are still maximizing your profits. In doing so, you can leave Sunday afternoon or Sunday morning to deliver the load on Monday and continue running.</div>
<br />
<h2>
Example Of A Weekend Delivery</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a dispatcher I know Saturday deliveries are pretty uncommon, a lot of shippers and receivers do not open on Saturdays. Most loads are from Fridays to Mondays and that is the only time you can deliver, but there are a few occasions where there is a receiver at that is open on a Saturday. Depending on your location in the US, you are more exposed to weekend receivers. The closer you are to a transportation truck hub (that's what we call them), the more common it is to unload on a weekend. Areas that never stop like Atlanta, Philadelphia, Dallas, Chicago, Houston, Memphis, Los Angeles, and other hubs, are places that are highly populated as far as the commercial transportation goes. If you are delivering to any of these places chances are you will find another load to pick up that same day during the weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After analyzing the <a href="http://www.lsfreight.com/trucking_orlando.html" target="_blank">Status Transportation reviews</a> on how to maximize owner operator pay over the weekend, let's see an example of how to it applies to a weekend delivery. If you are delivering on a Saturday and you're still planning on going home, for example, let's say you live in Atlanta. You unload in Atlanta Saturday morning and the best thing to do is to reload that same day in Atlanta or any of the surrounding cities like Forest Park, College Park, East Point, Union City, Morrow, Conley, Arbor Westbridge, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That way you can still go home, still spend time with your family and deliver a short distance two or three hundred miles away.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By following this routine you will be still making money while enjoying time at home and you are not losing out on profits over the weekend. That way dispatchers at <a href="http://statustransportation.blogspot.com/2016/07/status-transportation-reviews-apu-unit.html" target="_blank">Status Trucks</a> can keep your owner operator pay for every week as high as it can be even if you are going home or not.</div>
