I wanted to start a new thread about this subject becuz this isn't about any one carrier in particular. It's about the wording, interpretation, etc. of the fsc issue. Our carrier happens to be one that takes a percentage of the fsc, along with the same percentage of the paid miles. I was...

Scuse this if it has already been posted, but didn't see anything.. Here is a link to check out last year's results: June 35 is Roadcheck 2008 June 3-5 is Roadcheck 2008 By Laura Walter During June 3-5, approximately 10,000 trained, certified officers will blanket the roadways of North...

As always, I am very grateful for this forum to exist and all the people on here who are willing to share information for the benefit of all. I remember reading awhile back, people discussing/arguing whether this business needs to be 'learned', or what it takes, or how long, or whatever. There...

Just received our first copy, thanks!!! Looks great! Wanted to make a few comments tho :cool: First, congrats Phil, on your new post as Editor of the magazine! As I was reading the Editor's Page though, and you were kind of introducing yourself, and saying how it came about, etc., you...

I know this has nothing to do with EO support, sorry :) One of your fellow EOer's (me) is feeling like a member of the Twilite Zone! I have a 2.5 y/o laptop; I'm thinking the problem is somehow related to the change in daylight savings time a couple of years ago? Anyway, my problem is...

I had always understood that it was safer to be incorporated, becuz if you were in an accident and subsequently sued, they would sue the corporation, rather than you personally. I was reading however, that in the case of an owner operator, if you are in a horrible accident, and you were also...

I remember reading back in an older post one time, someone saying their carrier wanted them to sign a power of attorney, and being really confused about that. In investigating our options for getting our own operating authorities, I received a quote from a 'service' which looks after getting...

Man, am I confused! (I know, what else is new eh?) I'm trying to get some ballpark pricing on insurance.. truck, cargo, etc. I was given the name of an apparently knowledgable broker who deals with the trucking industry. Give her the info, she calls one insurer so far, who deals with the...

I was speaking to someone today who was telling me about an OO's payment arrangement with his driver, and I don't recall reading anything about this on EO, and wondered how this works with folks. Who pays for the fuel used in unauthorized deadheading, if the Owner is paying the fuel on a...

It seems for the past couple of weeks, postings have slimmed down somewhat.. I'm going to be an *ss and assume this means things are getting busier over there? I don't think the same seems to be true on this side of the line.. have spoken to a few companies this week who have been quite slow...

If you're sent to pick up at a certain location, certain time; You arrive early, let shipper know you're there, they're waiting on a part to arrive from someone else, so they can get the thing you're picking up, ready to go; They're late; other part has not yet arrived; It's Friday night; The...

I made a new thread so that those who don't want to read about ROI, don't need to find it in the middle of a different topic. I'm also confused as to how to calculate ROI. I'm good with P&L, but not with ROI. I know that in real estate, it is supposed to be a simple calculation, for...

I wanted to start a new thread, and include a pic, and ask for others.. I've seen others try to post a pic in the body of their post, and it hasn't been viewable. Just wondering if there is a way to do this? It says 'insert image', but it needs a website location to get it from? Can't just...

Does anyone happen to know these numbers for themselves? For example, 'for me, insurance works out to ?% of gross revenue over the course of a year', or 'fuel works out to ?%' or.. whatever. Are there 'industry averages' for these costs in relation to revenue? Before we got into this, we were...

Please excuse our ignorance. We're not really clear on this issue, all we know is the carrier looks after it. We read something about quarterly reporting, but haven't seen anything to that effect. Would your normally have to pay more, or get a rebate? Is this something that only the carrier...

Forgive me for not being able to find this, I'm having trouble with the search mechanism on here due to the number of characters.. Can someone point me to where it lists the different classes of CDL's? Also, can someone tell me which USA CLD would be required for a C-Unit? Thanks

I'm just curious. Ontario doesn't seem to have the same amenities for truckers as the USA. Husb loves the food you guys have over there, it's different for him and he's not sick of it yet. I'm just wondering if those of you who are mostly travelling in the USA do get sick of the types of food...

Would someone be able to enlighten me as to how to make your moving avatar move? I found one, I saved to my hard drive.. but it is still. How do you make it move?:confused: Thanks
