Leo, come to chi-town and bang your head with me. I just got 1.10 to maryland except it has 200 miles of dead head, hum that makes is .94 cpm guess i'll pass on that too. Maybe I'm too expensive

LOL, They just hit me with the laredo run for 1.04, the weight is now 7k, hum. Guess i'll pass on that too. According to ATBS there is a 6 to 1, frieght to truck ratio. So the rates should be high as hell right now, not dragging in the dirt. I,m puzzled.

Lol, I,m in chicago, I've had 14 load offers all less than a buck a mile, except one which was a hundred mile run with 3 stops for 150. Even a Laredo texas run with less than 50 miles dead head came in at .97 Total for 6500 pounds. I think the fecc bokers must be passing a crack pipe around

If you drill 40k feet anywhere in the world you'll find oil. The russians have been doing it for years now. Granted it ain't exactly easy to drill 40k feet. And the russians aint sharinh the know how. The problem we have with oil is not that there is ashortage of it anywhere. but that...

interesting.

I have noticed whenever I buy fuel at TA my truck sounds terrible. Knocking valvex louder turbo, more vibration. These symptoms disappear when I run Pilot fuel. Has anyone else noticed this pn there truck or is it a mental issue with me.

well I real confused now. When I talked to Panther, their rate was 1.20 per mile, this was mid last year. I was actually gonna jump, but I didn't see that I would actually improve, but just change the sticker on my truck. Now I see the panther folks talking , the big money im very puzzled...

The trouble with the Fed, is there ridiculous load offer system, which makes it appear that they have all this low rate junk. Whick they have a lot of, but when they send the same crap load out to 3 trucks at once, it magnifies the appearance of crap. Then when a good load finally comes...

that is total per mile rate. Personally I don't break out accessorials, or FSC or tolls. I always figure the flat rate. If I,m offered 1.50 load would I turn it down because it had 0 FSC? No. It has always seemed to me the bottom line is what counts.

I just checked on Feds extra-net and according to them this year my average rate is 1.21 per mile. Which is probably correct because I turn down more than half of the loads that were offered. I guess I should be clear that the low rates are what is offered and not what I run at, except for a...

Fedex is getting the better part of the deal for sure, 60% split is crazy in my view. But it seems to be par for the course. BTW, 1.50 gross * .6 = .90. As for becoming a partner carrier, I had considered getting my own authority, and have even been approached by local brokers, however to...

Leo, just file against them in Federal District Court, u can do it for a couple hundred bucks, they'll **** because defending a federal suit is very costly, they'll settle. You can probably find a paralegal to help with the forms to file if you dont know how. Represent Yourself in Court -...

I am a team operation, and yes the miles suck. We get 3 to 4 runs per week and our average is 800 miles per load. Anyway at least I have an income. BTW if hadn't been for my successful stock speculation last year we would have gone broke.

Leo that really sucks.

Get a RV deep cycle battery to replace ur regular starter battery. you can get a decent one at Sears for about 80 bucks. Then u should be able to go an hour or two wth no problems. Your inverter is too weak though. For max efficiency and safety your inverter should be rated for twice the...

truck replacement or depreciation .10 per mile Fuel .35 <varies with mpg and cost> Maintenance .08 <nat. avg according to atbs> There is .54 cents per mile give or take a few cents eitherway. No matter what. This doesn't include insurance, DMV, or other fixed bussiness costs. If your...

I have a 2007 hino, with an Allison transmission, that is probably how your used truck is specked, Hino does have its own brand of tranny called an Aisin or something to that effect but they aren't usually specked for expeditor's at least I have never seen one. I have 430K miles on my truck and...

Yes, but not very often. More often than lying they leave out pertinent details. Like having to hand-load 3000lbs of banker boxes. Which was left out of the phone call to get me to take a load, then sprung on me by the shipper. When I called back to dispatch, new dispatcher tells me oh thats...

That APU looks just like mine when you take the cover off. They're almost all made by the same company in Canada, TeleDyne Power or something. I'm sure the new ones have finally got all the bugs worked out. The same company in Cnanda makes the Carrier, T-King, and well diamond power. They a...

No i didn't I was in between samples and the previous one didn't show anything unusual. The after repair oil sample had them calling me to ask if had had the head off. I do long interval on my oil samples, 20k Hinos burn super-clean so there is hardly any carbon build up at all. anyway...
