Reddog, It's usually between 30 and 40 % 30-35 if your staying local and 35-40 if your going to be over the road. Just try to cut the best deal you can. Also remember your going to be keeping logs and doing scales in a 6 wheeler. best of luck, Fr8 Shaker

1) always driven fast. 2) like driving fast. (not as boring) 3) on a long run I have time to take a nap if needed, get something to eat,take a shower or all of the above. 4) get unloaded sooner with possibility of getting another load. I am not an aggressive driver, I don't ride...

Yes I know, I have a standing reservation for that lane. ;)

i was driving an 02' gmc and i would get between 15 & 15 1/2 no matter what speed. just took delivery of an 04' haven't checked mileage yet. also if your going to be running at 57 - 60 - 65 mph do me a favor and stay out of my way ! LOL. GIT - R - DONE Fr8 Shaker

I'll throw my 2 Cents worth in on this one. If your doing local p&d work with having to do inside deliveries it may be worth it, but if your doing interstate expedite I wouldn't waste your time or money. work smart not hard. Fr8 Shaker

In regards to the flying J you only need to purchase 20 gals of gas and that will give you 1/2 shower and 1/2 drink. you will need to go to the fuel desk and sign up for a flying J frequent fueler card if you don't already have one. then after you have the card you just insert it into the card...

Hey Ed, I was just wondering if you had checked out the classified section on this web site ? owners looking for drivers. some are looking for T/T drivers. Good Luck, Fr8 Shaker

LMAO Ed, That truck make is called a Rollscanhardly, It rolls down one hill and can hardly make it up the next. Also I did your homework for you. I called information and got a number in Mt. Clemens for a Cannon Freight Systems. 1-586-954-2909 they're located at 25 Eldredge north of Cass between...

LOL Rich, Probably by not having their drivers keep up with traffic.

Hi Ed and Welcome !! As far as your offer being fair, You didn't say what you were offered. Most owners offer, usually a 60/40 split with the 60% going to whomever pays the fuel. Also alot of owners will reimburse you for tolls which is especially great if you run east alot. I have never heard...

Hey Rich, I read The DOT Rulebook section 382.305 and I understand what your talking about now about drug testing.( Now the way I read it) this would only pertain to EMPLOYEES of said company ie; company drivers who would show up to work then be told to go get tested. who would not only show...

Rich, I don't know if this will help, or if I really understand what your trying to say. But if the company your leased on with pulls your name for a random drug test, You usually do that at your convenience, but the thing is you won't be dispatched till that is done. You don't have to take your...

All I can say is that if anybody is logging (on-duty not driving) because their sitting on public property ie. truck stop (waiting for dispatch) or private property ie. shipper/consignee (waiting for them to open) you'll be out of hours before you even get started. (9) Performing any...

RE: Freightliner FL 60, 4 sp. auto, 210 HP Caterpi LMAO, when i hit the lotto and the only thing that diesel will be powering will be a fully loaded motor home. and when that happens i'll let you know, we'll go fishing... you bring the beer...( Labatt)

Yes Larry, I have to agree with you. this business isn't for everyone. I think driving a truck for a living takes a special breed. Most people don't have a clue what it is that we actually do and how we do it, and what we also have to put up with, let alone give up. Most will say whats so hard...

C'mon only 3 posts in the last 24 hours ? lets get posting here people !!! LOL I've been here so much lately, Lawrence is going to start charging me rent.

RE: Freightliner FL 60, 4 sp. auto, 210 HP Caterpi Well I guess I have to apoligize if you all took something I said the wrong way. I wasn't trying to be negitive or a smartass, I was just trying to be realistic. I've seen and heard about too many people trying this, listening to recruiters...

RE: Freightliner FL 60, 4 sp. auto, 210 HP Caterpi Alfred, Alfred, Alfred, Your kinda scaring me here Buddy. First of all I like to say I know it's exciting and all thinking about getting into business for yourself and everything, but you also have to think too about everything else thats...
