Thx Pj..... Good info to consider. And I have had a long sit down with owner. I do understand a bit better now as well his "system". In 3 months it moves to a 70/30 split and a year later a 75/25. The carrier lumps load rev/fsc all into one...and I have been given full AUTONOMY ;-)...and...

THX Gentleman, That is the information I was seeking to be able to understand and decide if this would be a good contract to enter into. I really could not grasp why he keeps 35%, and did not want to get into a p!ssing match with the owner until I had some good info to back up my position.

Thx Sir, So in your experience, is the 65/35 split the norm on FSC...everything I read says 100% goes to whomever buys the fuel. Or am I missing something?? Thx A-REX

Wasn't sure where to post this question exactly, and made a double thread, my apologies...delete or move if needed, thought it might be a tax question for an accountant, than thought the drivers would know as well... To O/O's or a fleet owner, or fleet driver whom can answer this question...

Hi FKATZ or anybody else whom can answer this question, which I cannot locate in all my searches. Is FSC Taxed.??? Been a Company Driver all my driving years..... I have been made an offer to run a fleet owners' truck for a 65/35 split. Paying for fuel, yet only being offered 65% of the...

LOL...Your still had windows!!!??????? I thought those blown out holes I peered thru were the locals giving me a/c. ;-) You are correct...they don't verify, so why use them...eh??? Just comes up showing as a "gap" in employment.

Hey Jeanie, Good Luck This weekend. Gonna be in Detroit. My g/f is running the Marathon and her sponsors/donantions are for your cause as well. You met us/we met you in Wilmington this past July2010. You were getting ready for the BBQ on Saturday and she and I helped you unload the grill...

Hey Bryce, What you seeking to find? A bit before your time, and before those "Can u see me?, Can you shoot me? yellow and Orange vests" ;-) Pulled a wigglewagon after I left the dome and arrived in country...(2)9 month tours. Worst equipment I ever drove! lol P.S. Found it is not good on an...

Hey Steve, If I recall from the cobwebs of my memory...I think I was driving a volvo at the time ( 16 years ago...give or take ) with a set back front axle, single screw and sliding 5th wheel. Wish i could recall the wheel base and axles....Ryder has quite of few of these type power units...

Re: Running local For me it would depend on the actual avg miles truck can get dispatched on.... $1000base plus 200miles at .90 is a dud, 2000 miles looks pretty good....

Does that come with FSC? If truck runs 1500 miles loaded only ( as an example ) does the truck gross $3000??? PLUS FSC?? BTW...I'm from Detroit and looking....or is this a "what if " question?

Hey Steve, I think your friend is referring to a 28' pup trailer flat bed. While I never hauled a pup flat, I have pulled doubles OTR and for local P&D. These were 13'6'' high Van boxes. So I had height issuses as well to contend with. Mostly tight city work and alleys in Detroit, not rural...

THX, I stand corrected and informed. Ride safe out there A-Rex

Hey Roadeyes, Thanks for the link, I see your point now. I thought you meant Canadians of today...not Canadian indians. My Bad... As for censorship....let's agree to disagree on the finer points. I just see it as "The Soapbox" was set up to be an "Open" forum, for any and all to express...

Hey Roadeyes, I know what history states was done to the American Indians/Native Indians, and I know the victor writes history as well, so it was probably much worse than I ever learned... But I am racking my brain as to what "Grave injustices" were done to Canadians in modern history. Any...

Hey Beagle, It doesn't say where abouts your domicile is located or what the GVW of your UD is...Does it have a DOT legal size extended cab? Where you could go out past 300-500 miles and return after a rest??. Anyway...a possible company to consider might be Towne Air Freight, if a terminal...

I absolutely agree with you. Trying to use my limited writing skills to articulate what I wanted to voice was summed up in this post. Be Safe A-Rex

The issue isn't if a Lease Purchase plan is good or not but whether the questions I and others asked will be answered but more importantly how much the carrier makes off of the deal. ======================================= I agree, I missed this part of your post...I too asked questions on...

It may be a bit high, but not excessive...it really depends on what is offered by "Maintanence". If it covers all maint...scheduled and not, replacement tires, lube jobs...etc.etc,...possibly towing, emergency roadside service, the list goes on...the lease that I have referred to ( My Friend's...

Absolutely, I don't disagree with you on that...I see carriers that send a driver to 3rd party truck broker..Those are crap, I've looked at them over the years....Many Leases are bad, set up for failuer, and pay so low I am suprised that any driver in his right mind would sign the lease...
