Is there a pass/fail to the registry ? Or can any Dr that is willing to take the training, understand the regs, able to get in. If so, that is Not government approval. Saying we'll only accept Drs that do this, approve of that, would be government approval.

Is it really worth suing ? Spend time and money to tell a judge he won't honor a warranty he didn't give me ? I feel bad for the guy, but if he couldn't figure out what he was signing he should have taken somebody with him.

So, you want to say bad physicals could be a problem, but resist attempts to improve the physicals with the registry ? The registry I am fine with. The sleep studies, I'm fine with,as long as the cost is covered by the carrier/insurance company.

Did they discuss additional pts in the que for flat rate ? I don't think I heard of that before Monday's FB.

I'll blame desecration on spell check. I'm not arguing that it's right. I'm not saying the run around will pass the legal battle. All I said is I do not believe your issue is with the individual Dr. The FMSCA will most likely be sued over this.

Read post 11. If they've left it up to the desecration of the Dr, I don't see any error in him deciding you should be tested. He may be swayed by referral fees, but that's an ethics issue.

I meant pay difference.

What's the price difference there between the Ford and the $printer ? Is the FSC the same ?

That's a problem in other sectors too.. At Trailer Transit, if you had a ball hitch, pintle hook, or electric brakes, they'd run around you to "save" you for that special load. The upside is those things were scarce enough to pay a big premium. Most of the dispatchers would be straight enough...

That's what I like about my D. I do D loads, C loads, and B loads ( at straight truck rate,of course. )

Wouldn't a Flyin Van be driven by an aviator ?

It'd be the driver's choice. Keep moving or wait. :) If I had to break even on 25% of the loads, paying L&T rate on cv loads, and it kept my fleet of L&T under my signage and profitable, we all win.. Maybe not my wife. Her company car wouldn't be a Mercedes. Unless I got her a $printer. And...

If I was a carrier I think my philosophy would be long and tall would always be first out before cv. Keep those guys with the bigger investment moving all the time. If you want to lease on your cv, and you feel my stuff is plentiful enough and good enough, come on. I'm gonna move my long and...

Back in 71, the year I entered trucking, my father was in management of an LTL carrier. I remember him telling me they need $100 to pu up a shipment, $100 to deliver a shipment, plus $1 per mile. This a general idea on LTL. I do know I hauled one pallet, (two full trls) from Chgo to Dallas...

To put a value on a driver's time. My bro called me today and told me he just went up to $26.85 per hour. 1.5 x after 40. And he doesn't even have a vehicle to add to the equation.

26 years with one carrier. Wow. Congratulations. Must have been some good there, from both sides. At least you waited until after your big 25 year anniversary gala . :)

That may be how he came up with 28 mpg ???

There,fixed it for you. :)

Mason to Warren. 85 miles on my map. :(

$60 mini ? Are you a courier or an expediter ? Sorry, I was shocked. Thought you left a digit off. How many people do stuff under $150 ? $100 ?
