Why does it have to be racist? I hear this too often. There are certain things that a carrier cannot control, white, black, U.S. citizen, Bosnian, Iraqi........ they have no clue. If it makes you feel better to think that is what is in play here, fine. But you are tilting at windmills.

It has little to do with the company you're signed on with, unless it's a small, small fleet.

You hit the nail on the head. Not only is there less freight because of the slow down in the economy, there are more carriers out there trying to get as much of that dwindling freight as possible. Back eight years ago there were only 5 major companies; Roberts, Fedex, Landstar, Tri State, and...

EO forum. Brought to you by Panther. 'Nuff said.:P JK. Freight is ough everywhere. It doesn't matter if it's LTL or expedite. We are in an industry wide recession.

RE: An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening It has been coming for a while now. Texas is practically a ghost town for freight. The south: Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas aren't fareing much better. Every truckstop I've been in has looked like a trucking convention with Panther, All...

Im doing great running as a team now. I wouldnt go back driving single for ANY company.

Yep, and this is the equipment and drivers they want to send accross into our country. Thanks, big government GOP and DEM's! Good looking out for your people!

Well, there goes all freight opportunities out of Laredo. It's funny, they put all of these restrictions on the U.S. drivers (Hours of service, logging) and then allow drivers from another country that don't have to follow the rules our contry imposes on it's own people. Funny, yet sad.

call tri state and p2 and talk to a fleet manager. they would give you the best idea of what an owner has to offer and what type of rep they have.

Kind of abusive. I'm not here to trash anybody so i will jest say this. look elsewhere, there are plenty of other fleet owners with better reps.

thats strange. i am back at 3 states and my dispatcher sent me to my fleet planner about a short ups load that id refused. dispatch told me that they really needed help because they are trying to get the ups freight from the black cat. as usual its hard to tell where whats going on.

did you talk to your fleet dispatcher what did they do to try an help you? what was your experience with dispatch and employees

i was also told this was tactic for keepin drivers from leaving some of their fleet owners. seems like alot were taking so many advances theyr were getting mad when they didnt have anything left on settlement and would go from owner to owner with same problem. i think there intentions are good...

what happened to the other thread on this is there a reason it is gone

I usually try to avoid long, preachy posts on these boards, but I have seen some comments on here that border on the just plain ignorant. Chiefly among these comments are the following: A)Teams should only be offered team runs. What the blazin' heck does this mean? Being a team operation means...
