I have my own small reefer fleet and I've been thinking about reaching out to 2 music bands who have become pretty big names lately. I know the basics of how this works, but what kinda rates would a guy get on something like this? A flat day rate of say $1500-1800 while on tour kinda thing??
Hauling for a band...?

Daily minimum, mileage and hourly all combined to come up with a number that puts me where I need to be. I'd start with 1200/day and crunch from there myself. I believe their tour manager will be who you'll ultimately need to deal with as well.
Marmon110P, Flat Earth Trucker and TX2Day Thank this. -
I appreciate the insight! So $1200/day and then the mileage and hourly on top?

So if a band plays Vegas on Friday night, then Phoenix on the following Friday, then El Paso the following Friday, that is alot of downtime for the truck and driver since those are mainly overnight trips but a week apart each time. Does that daily flat rate remain the same in situations like that?
I saw the Doobie Brothers had their own rig a few years ago.
The_vett Thanks this. -
I'd think that as long as you are on standby for the band then yes, they would be pay8ng the day rate
TheLoadOut Thanks this. -
Siinman Thanks this.
