Hi Yep it's slow.Any good loads I get at this time of the year I consider a blessing.One of these years I'm going to get smart and have enough money put back.Then I'll just disapear for 2 months.Jamaica sounds nice.

HI Warning a long and opinionated post ahead!! This happens every year to the whole industry (so changing companies usually doesn't help) it may be this month or it might another.This is what puts alot of the newbees out of business.They get some good settlements and think cool I'm going to...

Hi 21!!

Hi Yep we shouldn't have to give a reason.But I sure wish I would of took the time one night.They sent me a load offer over the QC picking up 20 miles from where I was sitting going with in 80 miles of the house.Good miles too ready now deliver direct.Great run right?Except you can't haul 1...

HI Know how you feel.It gets like this every year sometimes in January and usually in Febuary.In really bad years I've seen it go into March.The good news is (at least in my humble opinion) the slower it gets in the first quarter the busier it gets in the second quarter. I think these are a...

HI Yep in true Ford fashion it limped it way back to the house.Drive an hour, stop let it cool down then drive an hour, stop and then let it cool down.Still beats paying a tow bill and getting it worked on by the first shop you find. I was probably laying under the van when you were...

HI I don't want to put dollar figures, so on a good month the first 2 weeks belong to the truck the rest of the month is mine.Slow months usually the truck gets 3 weeks.

HI Happy to say I got a load out of Spartansburg Saturday night.Nice one too 800 plus miles to CND. Back at the house with tranny problems.Stupid thing couldn't of went out 2 weeks ago when I wasn't getting load offers.Bad luck or no luck at all.LOL

HI Goverment subsidized health care would save GM $2500.00 per car built.Thats alot of money that they can't put towards Research and Development.So they can't compete with foriegn cars because those companies get supplemented health benefits.So they can spent $2500.00 per car built on R&D...

HI KILL THE RABBIT!!! Hondaking thats all fine and dandy if the ones who don't make it would bow out gracefully but it don't work that way.This is why the carriers write contracts that cover their assets.Why they have holdbacks and escrow. 1. guy signs on 2. guy goes broke 3. guy seeks revenge...

Hi Anyone remember ADVANTAGE 75 AND 401.I'd love to find all the info on that deal.They had signs up and down 75 and the 401,at the scales and at the Ambassador bridge.Also remember customs officers talking about a card that all commercial drivers would be given and at the border the driver...

HI I think the problem is the third party logistic companies.If your carrier say no to all .04cpm fsc then the 3rd party log. isn't going to offer them any of the loads that pay more.If you say no to GM then NLMI isn't going to offer you Ford or Detriot Deisel.So the gun is also pointed at the...

HI I have Nextel and it works anytime Im close to an interstate except in mountainous areas.I have the same problem when ever I get a new phone from them.Take the phone back and have them redo it.Press your voice mail button and when it starts to dail check to make sure there is a 1 at the...

HI This is going to sound a little off the wall, but never put a can of Pringles on your dash.They have been known to ignite in sunlight.The windshield acts like a magnifying glass.Just a bit of worthless trivia.

Hi If it was me I'd go automatic.It gets pretty crowded at PII offfice I'd look for another option.Let the boss drive your car back to his house or get somebody to drive you to the office.I'd like to hear how others has taken care of the parking problems.

HI I have had the same experiences as Highway Star when it comes to which lane to use .So now when mt I use regular lanes but I show my FAST card everytime I cross mt or loaded.To add to the confusion sometimes the sign above the FAST lanes in Detriot say mt's and sometimes it doesn't.I think...

HI In 1995 I had a van leased on with Zone.I didn't drive it so I don't know a lot about them.What I do remember from back then is they were doing strictly Ford freight.Alot of dedicated work from one Ford plant to another or from a supplier to a Ford plant. Settlements were usually on time...

HI The problem I'm finding with newbees is when I bring up the downside of this business they say that I'm just being negative and drive away. To back up Terry and Rene I averaged $316.00 gross per load as a single in a van.But understand I didn't get a load everyday that I was available to...

Hi Me too.

Hi They will transfer freight if its more than 750 miles and you don't have enough time to stop and sleep.Average miles per trip is just the luck of the draw. Last year I had 20 mile trips and 1800 mile trips.
