Information for Drivers
Introduction
We offer consistent, year-round work and prompt, consistent payment. Our usual brokerage fee is 10%. This fee is deducted from the contract freight rate. We pay weekly; checks are issued from our office or are mailed. We do not hire or contract with haulers; they are independent contractors for whom we find work. We have lease trailers available (both end dump and belly dump) at competitive rates. We can also assist you in finding insurance at very competitive rates. All you will need to do to start hauling for our customers is provide us with a certificate of insurance, with Statewide Materials Transport listed as a named additional insured, for a minimum of $1 million. Your agent can fax it to our office; this usually takes only minutes to arrange. Our fax number is (512) 279-7629.
Our Staff
Our staff is eager to help you get started with us. Our sales team covers south Texas looking for jobs for you to haul. Our dispatcher is Richard Garza; he assigns trucks to jobs and keeps track of all our work. Doug Mursch is our office manager. His jobs include both receivables and payables, tracking, and making payments. Both Richard and Doug can be reached at our office number: (512) 279-7625
Invoices
Invoices should be submitted to Statewide Materials transport, LTD at our office by noon of Tuesday each week. If you mail your invoices to the office, you will need to send them to our P.O. Box; you may also drop them off at our office at any time by using the mail slot in the door, or you can leave them at the dispatch office in New Braunfels. You can use our physical address for any courier service.
In order for us to be able to efficiently process the large number of invoices we receive, we ask that you adhere to the following guidelines in preparing your invoices:
An invoice should be submitted for each job each week.
Your name, address and SMT number must appear on the invoice.
The origin, destination, and job name must be shown.
Please list each ticket number, the number of tons on that ticket and the total number of
tons hauled on that job, that week. You can obtain the rate per ton to that truck from the office
and then multiply the rate times the total number of tons to obtain the invoice total.
Please attach ONE copy of each scale ticket to the invoice.
A sample invoice is available for your use. You can download it from our website,
we can send it to you via email, or you may pick one up at our office. You are free to
use any invoice form you choose, as long as it provides the information that is listed above.
If you have any questions about the invoicing process, please do not hesitate to contact us.
We will be happy to assist you in any way in order to make the process easy for both of us.

Payment
Statewide Materials Transport, LTD pays weekly. Our “week” runs from Monday through Sunday. Weekly invoices are due in our office by noon on the following Tuesday. A check will be issued in payment of those invoices on the following Thursday (9 days later), so you will always have one week “in the hole”. Checks are ready by 4pm on Thursday. You will have the option of picking up your check in person at either of our Manor or New Braunfels offices after 4pm or having it mailed to you. At the present time we are unable to offer electronic payment. Federal tax law requires us to have a W-9 on file from each vendor. Checks are made payable to the name as it appears on the W-9 form.
