In your example the rate is $1.53 for all miles which would be acceptable for our operation. You have to determine what rate you can run for. Please remember deadhead miles cost the same to run as loaded miles so all miles you run have to be divided into your rate to obtain your rate per mile.

Delivered in Liverpool NY last nite at 11:30. Came in from MO with power line equipment. Started with rain in Ohio and by the time we got to I271 wind was gusting and rain was coming down in sheets. That continued into NY on the thruway to delivery. Parked at Petro in Waterloo overnite and it...

Sitting in Oak Grove at Petro waiting for load. If we don't get a load by morning will most likely move to Boonville Mo. Pilot that has Idle Aire for the weekend. Should be able to cover loads from St. Louis and KC from there.

Weady2wun will be bring baked beans. Look forward to seeing everyone again!

Merely an ovberstation, but I would bet the acceptance rate will be nearly 100% in order to receive that bonus.

We are in Miami right now and depending on the load out to determine if we stay out or not. We have stayed out for the last three years and usually end up being a warehouse for the weekend.:D

AJ Does your transmission have the second sequence?

The allison transmission can have 2 shift sequences, one for power and one for economy. These different shift patterns are available by depressing the mode switch. You must go to an allison dealer to find out if your transmission has the two and which sequence is the default pattern. After...

Does anyone know what the Mode switch is for on the Allison transmission. I have the six speed 3000HS. Thanks Mike:confused:

We signed on with an owner that was contracted to Express 1 in 2008 with no experience but with 2 brand new Class A CDL's. There are companies out there that hire teams with no experience. You should read all relevant posts on this site and make an informed decision. We are sure glad we...

Yes but I understand they usually have flat rate trucks go to nearest truckstop for their authorized layover.

Flat rate at the Fed is all dipatched miles, deadhead and run. Example: Deadhead 150 miles Run 400 miles Total 540 miles Flat Rate 1.00 per mile Current FSC .30 Total 1.30 540x 1.30 = $702

The big difference is ALL miles and LOADED miles. This is where most confusion in rates occur. Some people quote rates at the miles from shipper to cosignee or loaded miles. Others quote rates received from where dispatched or sitting from to cosignee or all miles. Then the FSC comes in. Is...

Well folks,two days later, I have re-read my original post and, having cooled down a bit, realize I might have been a tad tough on carriers in general. I shouldn't have said it makes no difference to carriers how we do our jobs. Of course it makes a difference,but I still think they could do a...

You make a good point as to technology changing the marketplace. Chicken and freight are worlds apart but the business philosophy shouldn't be. The associates I refer to were wait staff which is an entry level position much like todays truck driver. A safe courteous driver who is aware of his...

Then, if I understand, the customer is NLM and the carriers need to go to them for their business not the auto companies.

As an owner of a restaurant for 15 years I set my prices, not my customers or competition. My prices were set by my costs and expected profits. Not everyone would like my menu or prices but you can't be everything to everyone or I would be out of business. Let me explain. I had competition...
