    FECC extra pay for tolls

    I think that "If it doesn't pay enough don't run it" is how this new program got started. Those contract/discount customers that never paid a fsc were not getting thier loads ran. From the sounds of things, not to many are fooled by this new way of thinking. I think that the "old" way of things...

    Newest of the new.

    I started in the T/T and moved to the S/T and the backing up was all wrong at first. No pivit point in a S/T, so you will have it easier when backing the non piviting bus. With anything it takes time and practice, don't rush any turn, when backing (I'm sure yoou will learn this) remember...

    going to see an o/o

    Hey newbi, good luck on Sat. If you want a contract but the O/O tells my word is good, don't be to scared. Our first contract was just like that, verbal.

    Lease purchase

    We are currently doing a lease/purchase agreement. Some months the money is great and others you just pay the bills.(Depends on the amount of loads you do and time off you take.) Its is a good idea to have some money in savings to help with the unforseen things that will come up. Depending on...

    owner lease purchase

    I have to come to the defense of Pat and Tim Hopkins also. If it wasn't for these two men we may have been done awhile ago. We have worked for both Pat and Tim. We started as percentage drivers with Pat Hopkins and then went into a lease purchase with him. The first month we were in the lease...
