I was talking to TranCom, today and they told me the Freight tonnage to capacity ratio is improving and though it is not great, the decline has stopped and is now moving up. This should help with rates. Of course things should be picking up in general anyway seasonally. Just thought U...

Also, Nice web page design did not buy the book, but I wish you Success!

By the way I am a published author. Published in March of 2001, Ill keep the title to myself so as to remain anonymous. But I sold a few copies, got mentioned on Air by Micheal Savage and then drifted into obscurity.

I'm glad Gregg334 is back to still the pot. Nothing like blunt comments tinged with smart-assisms to get things going. By the way A-Team generally has good comments, and appears to be well educated. But unless you are lucky enough to bribe your way into FECC WG when you first sign on most...

Anyone who is operating a Straight truck with their own authority, and willing to give advice please PM me THANKS

Today I called in to hear the FECC recorded call of the week. I was pretty amused to know the 9 cent fuel surcharge is there for me. Especially, in light of the fact that everyone has dropped their shorts rate wise to begin with. It made me smile for the first time in months. Also I had a...

I did get a call on friday from someone in the BACKHAUL dept. Who had a load going from Greenville to Ithaca Il It paid exactly 1.00 per loaded mile, I told them I would accept the load. I went into Pilot to get a cup of coffee, and when I got back to the truck the load had cancelled. I...

The last 60 days has been a real disaster for me. The load offers have been so low I actually dread the qualcom beep. My point with the uhaul comparison is really me thinking out load wondering why any company would be bidding frieght so low. I did get a a offer that was 1.85 a loaded mile...

We got along pretty well. So that wasn't a problem. The only reason she went home was to bring in more income. She's worth more alone than both of us were working this truck. LOL

I like ur avatar. Commisar Obama likes it too. In fact the ATF is on their way to your house right now.

Well after 2.5 years of spending every minute with my wife. I am alone in the truck. I put her on a plane at 730am and had a load at 1500. There is plenty of room now in the truck. But BOY am I bored. no one to fight with. The good news is I can go back to my usual corndog and coffee...

I just crunched my numbers and we have 41k of hard costs with this business. Fuel moves up and down so its hard to figure. Driver pay based on miles is also like fuel but assuming we run the same amount of miles we have .34 cpm in hard costs + .27cpm for fuel so our DEAD NUTS CPM is .67 by the...

Even when things were GOOD you couldn't replace that income in expediting. I had a 70k a year job and the wife was at 27k. We figured our income would drop to around 70 combined which we were fine with since we wanted some adventure. Anyway we haven't netted over 55k yet and now that things are...

Is this a serious post?

I have a D unit with FECC and we almost never get3000 miles a week. Even when it was busy 3000 miles would be a lot. last month we had 4500 hundred miles total. I guess either the favoritism or economy is catching up with us.
