So what about the driver that gets a ticket they did not report? The carrier pays the ticket because it is on their MC number. The carrier then deducts the ticket from the owners settlement. Whoops driver is gone and it costs the owner the money. Yes this happens. We rent equipment to IC's...

I am sure Dave is not condoning dishonest owners either, but it is always very interesting to read about all the "dishonest owners who take advantage of drivers" from people who drive the 100,000$ + trucks for owners. We have had trucks returned (NICE TRUCKS, when the drivers got them) smelling...

The cascadia is loaded with problems........the rate of warranty repairs needed is extremely high. I would wait for a year or two on a cascadia....volvo's are very good trucks. We have a series 60 detroit in our columbia that we love.....we have drivers in a Intl with a CUmmins....only...

it is an article referring to container freight, which is a main source of economic studies of imports Today's Cargo News Archives | March 2 - March 6, 2009 that will be messy to read because it is issued in pdf but did not know how to direct people to the pdf version other than...

I posted the source because it is actually a very informative article that i thought maybe others would want to read. Sorry if I did not spoon feed the article to you, but I gave all the information for anyone to read it. -charlotte

we play poker but more live than online. We started when we were driving as a way to kill time between loads. Last year had the opportunity to go to the WSOP womens tournament in Vegas, placed 78th. This year my partner has won a 10,000 seat into the main event. All I can say is if she does...

We would NEVER require people to give upt heir pets......as a matter of fct I have refused to hire a team that just said oh no we will get rid of the dogs...(they were 7 and 9 and been with them since puppies.) That kind of loyalty I can do without. We had 2 siberian huskies on our truck for...

Also to answer original question, I would never encourage anyone to get into this business, leave home and family and be out on the road to make 1200$ a month. It takes a lot to be on the road and it takes a lot financially. If you cannot make more on the road than you do at home, after...

Wow Turtle, I have refrained from commenting on your more idiotic posts before, but that one was crazy. Fleet Owners just sitting back raking in the money and just have to keep a warm body in the truck.......I wish. A truck payment at a very good rate runs AT LEAST 1700$ a month. Ins, qc...

Actually this was a direct result of the driver council and something they wanted to see in place. -charlee

At this point although it sounds harsh, he could choose to intentionally fail the driving test 3x to be released from the school "debt". This "company store" syndrome that the large carriers have is ridiculous. He only needs a class b to drive a straight truck and can get hired with no...

IF a recruiter said that Tractor/Trailers were unaffected by the economy they flat out lied. I have 5 tractors, all with teams and freight is just flat out DOWN. Thee are many weeks when my straight trucks run better than tractors and freight is still down by a huge percentage. -charlee

Like Ontario Said....your 1099 should match 65% of what your pro's were. The fuel money you should have fuel receipts for to use as deductions, but your total 1099 should cover your GROSS, leaving you to determine your deductions. -charlotte

Not sure who you run for BUT.....if Panther there is the option of ODD. If you are NOT on a load and just want to run somewhere close you can put yourself off duty driving for a maximum of 30 mins 30 miles. (I may be wrong on the miles part) and drive to where you need to go and not have it...

Many want teams. I cannot tell you how many solo drivers have called us when our ad specifys "openings in our fleet for same household teams". Unfortunately we have just not found a way for solo drivers to make it running expedite and be profitable for both of us. -cj

LOL...I cannot tell yoi how many times the truck door has slammed and i went "oh no" remembering i had taken my keys out of my pocket. The last time was a load from washington to ca in the mountains.. had stopped at a rest area to sleep and woke up at 5 am due to nature......got up to go to...

I am in the spot right in front of you ;)
