I guess he TOAD him !!!!

When I got my I-phone it had a dog barking ringtone. The plan was if we saw Terry I would put phone in driver's door pouch. I would get Terry near the door and my wife would call. I thought Terry would go nuts. Alas, I could never find him until after FedEx got so desperate that they allowed...

Ever think he may be itching to plant "something"?

I thought you were more a wine guy. Oh well, smoke 'em if you got 'em.

I want a carrier that will give me big ass pompoms. I just don't display them unless they earn the display.

If you're talking MLB and NFL, maybe not a bad thing.

Mike, they're talking accounting versus strategy. For these old geezers what they say is fine. For us young bucks, you need to set aside what would be a payment so you have the money to replace your van.

Not to rain on your parade, just trying to be helpful. There's some smart people on here. Your simple question should be, Realisticly does anyone believe a guy can Net anywhere close to $75,000 per year in a paid off van.

TK, are you suggesting he should spend the money to get authority (with no direct customers) but to save a few bucks by filling out the paperwork himself ? I believe he's in Ca and insurance there is very costly.

In your business plan how much are you budgeting for insurance ? Maintainance ? EDIT--Monthly equipment cost (truck pmt) Your age, driving record. Where will vehicle be based ?

My point was I wouldn't see you and Diane entering in 1995 with primarily manual transmissions, low quality APUs, etc. If you were doing research now I don't think your numbers would have you leave careers to enter the expediting industry. You were lucky that this came around in the time...

And maybe you were. Just as a longer version drove by. Or as a short version drove by and you thought it was a long version. Or you were looking at beef stew, dreaming of the ultimate van.

People may come back and speak of good months or good quarters. Who cares ? When I look at numbers it's usually a rolling 12 month average. I have bills/ expenses all 12 months of the year.

Simply, $1.25 X .40=50 cents per paid mile. For high end stuff maybe 75 cents per loaded mile. How many miles did straight truck drivers do last year ? All PAID miles divided by 52 ? Few will say 3000 paid miles per week.

Everything looks pornographic to you. If you look at it long enough.

Reading around today, the Load One forum and FedEx Flat Rate threads makes me wonder why people say $1500 a week is so doable in a straight anymore. Also, if a guy is out 3 and home one, as is/was somewhat typical, that works out to $4500 each 4 weeks. What good is it if you can't afford to go...

Phil, you guys were at the right place at the right time. There was money many years prior but you came in when technology made trucking so easy a caveman could do it. And comfort began reaching new levels. About the time you left Green had begun it's P T Barnum style of management. Just by...
