When you call customer service the bad experience will be limited to the few that you talk to. When there is the potential for thousands of people to see your bad experience it has a much bigger impact. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

If you run into a problem with IdleAir you may find that the site is not manned on certain days. If you find something doesn't work move to a new one and contact the company on Facebook. They refunded my entire stay from the Love's in Laredo because they saw I immediately switched to another...

Happy Birthday Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

That's what changed my mind. After I started learning about all the wrongly convicted people in prison I switched to bring mostly against it. The only exception might be if there is DNA evidence with video proof, like in a robbery. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

7.6mpg? That is not good at all. Is someone thinking that this is a race and not running it like a business by working to get better mpg? Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

I basically covered what you just said, I missed your post. It is the wrong time of year to try and get started in an unfamiliar industry like this. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

You may want to reconsider what you are about to do. I would guess that since you don't know how much it costs to run a ST and can't figure out how to come up with the costs on your own that you have no experience. You are about to make a serious financial commitment to a business that you don't...

It would be slow getting out usually but you can always go back in service before you want to leave to get on the "list"so you move up. You could always turn the load down if you aren't ready but that is not something that you will want to do often. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

I am giving it serious consideration. I thought this brokerage thing would be more office type work but it would be really easy to run out on the road. It's a little complicated to explain but my wife is running things on her own right now and I won't really be needed for awhile. Sent from my...

Well drivers appreciation week is coming. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

A same household team isn't a dream for trucking companies but it is preferred. The bigger issue you will have weighs 50lbs and presumably has 4 legs. There are some fleet owners that will allow dogs but you may have to pay a fee or non-refundable deposit. Freight going into TX isn't a big deal...

Imagine if the money they collected from taxes on fuel was used where it was supposed to be used, MI and NY for that matter would have gold paved roads. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

I'll sign right up, I'm starting to go a little stir crazy. :D That's the way to grow, sometimes people get in too much of a hurry and tank their business. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

Are you getting another? Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

Factoring is usually pretty expensive. The trucking company I was with used factoring and they were able to bring the rate down to 2.5% which is the same as 30% interest over a year. They were paying a 5% fee or 60% per annum until we started doing almost $2 million with the factoring company...

Pretty soon you're going to have as many EO members driving for you as Load 1 does. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

It depends on how you are paid during the time you are driving for the owner. If you are getting the standard percentage then the truck is free, if you are getting less then you are making a payment plan that might cause you to lose money. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

Paying off debt really doesn't take as long as you think it would. My wife and I started working on it and we cut about $1k/month of bills. When April came around this year we even had the cash to pay our taxes rather than having to setup a payment plan like the previous year. We still have a...

A failure to save seems to be an issue in America regardless of the chosen profession. I think people get convinced that their jobs are too hard and they deserve more or that they should reward themselves for dealing with the stress of their job. I would say physical irresponsibility is more...
