Been a good run so far!

You are right. Some get it and others don't. The first place of many is to cover a loss by going through the operators wallet. Seems to be a lot of that lately.

Have to look in the mirrors. We are behind you. :D

Sad. Guess it depends on where it puts their rate. They use to be I think 1.25 a mile? If so, there is a sinking ship

Yep. One of the upsides of a larger carrier that has their own accounts. Less fingers. Lol

What company cut their rates?

Over the years there has been all kinds of financial casualties from wrecks, health/family issues, major breakdowns all the way to mismanagement of funds. Always make sure you are financially stable before jumping into this or any kind of business. Bad things happen to good people but most if...

Have to give us more "heads up".

I would agree with the others. You really need a attorney to sort through that mess and then see where you stand.

For straights it is more of a odds game. They provide the daily load count (which can be questionable because they count backhauls and brokered loads in the number) and that is weighed against how many trucks in your vehicle class that are there. To relocate, you would contact relations and they...

Depending on what the freight is, I see it as a pretty decent tool for a variety of reasons. Might be tough for a solo to work it. As mentioned, might miss out on some loads if driving.

Yep, should be there. Looking forward to it.

I am more of a "the glass is half full rather than half empty". With that said, I do think it is a evolving business model that has put downward pressure on single truck operators. It is true that we made considerable money through the eighty and nineties. Technology is a double edge sword. It...

If you are using it in interstate commerce, it would be tax exempt. If you purchased it from a dealer, they would have the forms. Requirements will vary by state. Some will want your operating authority information or if leased to a carrier, a copy of the lease from the carrier.

That is exactly what they need to be doing in schools. Real world skills and not a bunch of silliness. It is sad when you go in a fast food place and someone using a lot of slang ask you to read the menu. And no, this isn't a blind person we are talking about. There is a better way, just has to...

Your mean...torturing those poor little kids. Giving them a quarter in addition to the expected change is going to send them to therapy. :D

I would just be happy if they can make change, read a menu, and just possibly fill out a checkbook. However, I might be expecting way too much. :rolleyes:
