This is likely an impossible number to figure out. CARB is not releasing # of trucks granted extensions or are the tracking trucks that have been retrofitted. However at this point I don't think the retrofitting is that big an impact considering many of the companies doing this don't even keep...

Many have hit on the answer to the OP's question. I will add coming from a carrier prospective, and we are small, even in our office if we don't match a load with a vehicle it would be very easy to give the load to someone else or try and book a 2nd load with that vehicle. If they didn't...

Unless they implemented this sooner than planned and made it through all the legal hurdles, this is smart but not a DOT requirement.

We are O/O only fleet so take a look at us once you know this is what you are looking to do. Glad to see you are doing some research.

Didn't want this to get lost in my other post. Some expediting companies where nominated for this award. Part of the process is the company needs to send an email out to all drivers with a link to a survey for them to respond anonymously to. Carter, Tri-State, LandStar, Panther, Load One...

Thought I would bring this thread back to life since the companies have been notified and waiting on TCA to make press release before they can talk about if they won or not and add my comments on the process from beginning to end from a carrier prospective. First, drivers, please make sure that...

Sounds like you are a driver, not O/O correct?

This says it all and is so true. When a driver gets to a slow market, they are the ones that suffer from a firm line in the sand policy.

Wait, am I missing something? Are you guys saying you will sit for days and not find your own loads? Is this your carrier not allowing this? At least get on TL board and look for partials.

Isn't it strange, asking someone living in there vehicle for money? ;) I don't do this anymore because it normally ends with my wife taking my wallet and giving them money but I loved beating them to the punch with: "hey, spent all my money on alcohol, can you spare a buck?" Got my share of...

Easy there Tex, just responding to a comment about WHEN a carrier gets paid.

No dog in this fight but where are you getting your information? 3-5 days would be if we are paying a fee for quickpay. 30-days after getting invoice and bills is standard (talking about how we as a carrier get paid).

We have been running TT and our contracts are calling for more and more van and straight that we turn down so we are adding these come January. While my insurance is picky we have been able to get the right person that has limited current experience approved. We pay 85-87% of the gross.

Yes, the person you are talking to gets paid for you to show up to orientation.

Guess we are in the 4 of 10 category. And while it hasn't been 6-months yet (I am watching the calendar because you have me a little worried now ;) ) on a good week we run over 10 loads from Sylectus and our slowest week has been 4-loads. But we are tractor only so we don't see as much...

My first time. Have to say people in Expedite World are great. Good job all.
