As an owner the deadhead and empty moves cost me just like it cost when the truck is loaded. I still have the truck tied up, I still have the engine running so I have the maintenance, tires, chance it will be in an accident, ect. I'm sure the drivers won't aggree with me but basically my cost...

I've got one that burns headlights and other bulbs out like its a bulb tester. I bet I've put 30 bulbs in it total in 2 years.

I have found that buying a large truck is much different than buying a car. The sales people I have dealt with have all been very fair with me and wanted me to find exactly the truck I needed and gave me a fair price. Those that have been around a while know that trucks wear out fast and...

Short term this sounds ok but I'd be worried my owner might not make enough to repair the truck should it break down. We'd all like to make 100% of what the truck makes but in reality we must be sure their is a fair spread of money beteween the company, the truck owner and the driver so they...

Its only cheep freight when your company takes 30-40% of the gross. In addition to my trucks at FCC I have several that I operate under my own authority and I can and will take what you think is cheep freight but in reality when i'm not paying for sales people, a large advertising campaign...

RE: Hey FedEx Drivers - CLink vs. VRUFDCC, thats correct.. Owners only unless they give your their security # and PIN.

I have no problem with somone disagreeing with me but this guy is constantly bashing the company that he choose to run for in a public forum.

Isn't their a canned message for suggestions? Lets start a campaign...............

Why do you stay at a company that you hate? And why would Panther keep someone like him as a contractor? If I had a driver bad mouthing me many times a day in a huge public forum I'd put him on the road!

I would love to see all the VRU info put on the extranet. I can see why it wasn't a priority in the past bus as more trucks get wireless internet it would be a real help. Not to mention I'm sure it would cut down on their phone bill to the 800 #.

maybe its actually a month to month rental with some kind of option after you rent it for so many years.

I had a sprinter sit in an express center in OH for over 2 days this week. He had the most dwell time the company just didn't have any freight for him. It happens.................. He's moving now and drops near home.

the box on that thing must work like a sail. I can imagine the MPG's are REAL bad in something like that.

Just wondering......... jbrbears, are you sanctioned by UPS to speak on their behalf or are you a dispatcher who has taken it upon yourself to come on here and talk up USP? Some of the things that you have said contradict what UPS's advertisements have said so we need to know if you officially...

What company is your truck leased to?

DTH is a very fine and growing company. Their ATL office is the flagship of their company. The owners are as good of people as you would want to work with. Having said that, I'm not sure how much freight they have but I would trust them to be honest with me and tell me what kind of network...

Try Eagle Global Logistics. They have local and expedited runs. They have vehicles leased to them and also have agents that work for them but operate under their own authority. Becomming an agent is a Royal Pain in the tail so if your interested in going that route send me an email and we...

What about taking all the FSC for a given period of time and apply a formula based on the unit size (Projected MPG) and dispatched miles and show the FSC as a seperate line item on the settlement. At the same time post the #'s on the intranet showing a zeroed out P & L statement for that account.

Without your hazmat you limit your options to only a very few smaller carriers. Even if I had trucks on with carriers that didn't require hazmat I would prefer my drivers to have it just incase I had to move my trucks in a hurry I'd already have a driver no matter where we decided to go.

Maybe I’m an anomaly but I have never been treated with anything but respect by anyone at FCC. I’ve never been asked when one of my trucks would be back in service; I’ve never been harassed by a dispatcher needing a load covered nor have I have ever had one of my drivers tell me they were...
