Remember, seventy-percent of nothing is still nothing. I have done both percentage and mileage and prefer mileage. In this day and age I would NEVER pay the fuel for an owner operator. If he won't pay you mileage, then take twenty-five percent of what the load pays and make the owner pay the...

I too prefer to work with a smaller company. My Roberts Express days are History. If you break down the cost of the qualcomm, fifty-two weeks at thirty five dollars a week, that's a cost to the driver of eighteen hundred and twenty dollars. Some say it's a great thing, I bet your pocket book...

I almost leased a Van last year and realize the money isn't there for two people. Let's take a thousand dollars a week, as a reachable figure for a cargo van, and we will do a sixty-forty split which is the norm. Sixty percent goes to the Driver and forty percent to the owner, the driver pays...

Coming from a drivers point of a view. I feel their needs to be an Owner Operator Database like Dac has for drivers. Many Owner Operators have screwed over drivers and Vice Versa. I see your add in the Classifieds all of the time Zoli, does that make you a owner who is hard to work for?

Have you heard of Defimation of Character? I suggest you think twice before you go bad mouthing this guy and be glad he didn't leave your truck in Toledo.

I am with a small company that doesn't force you to buy Sprinter. With all the problems I have heard Sprinters having in the past year, I would rather spend 40,000 on a used FL70. Thanks for all of the input, my thought of buying a used FL70 seems to be the smart answer. If cargo vans are...

RE: ATTEN: have you tried putting B-unit on with F There is a guy in the classifieds claiming he is leasing trucks to future owner operators to put on at Fed Ex. I would be shocked if they refused people wanting to put on trucks. Edited for Link...

I drive for a small local company in West Michigan and we have been slow this week too. Called dispatch today and asked if we were still in business and actually had the dispatcher apologize for how slow frieght was. I told it's not her fault, that's just business. Thankfully for me I am sitting...

RE: Entering into a 90/10 lease purchase. Anyone d The van needs to gross $1500 per week. Is that possible?

On Friday I take over payments on a 2005 Ford E350 cargo van. This situation will be a 90/10 lease. I have been out of expediting since 98 and thought this would be my best bet of getting back into the mix. Has anyone ever tried a situation like this. I have been crunching the numbers and the...
