    Well stated. We do the same in this truck. Any tools available to look at the business we use them. I want to know how much an hour we are making and use the information like you. Just one piece of the puzzle to obtain great profit. As with your stated run above, we have a few runs that we keep...

    Other drivers killing us!

    Oh don't get it wrong. I am glad for every single offer. When the clink calls out an offer we are pleased to have someone else has been the salesman. Not me thanks. It takes no work to reply yes or no. Some quick figuring and a good business decision is made and then reply. We are overly happy...

    Other drivers killing us!

    Glad you posted those. The past two weeks this DR turned down many such loads. We were looking at each other and couldn't believe some of the offers.one funny one was a D load 700 miles to Regina SK for .88 per. Ummmm no. We wait for profitable runs.

    Ever find a critter in your truck?

    Whenever we back in out front at the TA East in Ontario CA, I get out and let the ground squirrels know that they best stay on their side of the curb. I don't trust those sneeky speedsters.....

    California Scales and prepass

    I should have included I was counting and noting the stickers in California only. In CA we were red lighted in at every station for a week. San Diego to San Francisco. Since the 1st we were pulled in to only two stations from NY to CA and back.

    California Scales and prepass

    In the last two weeks everyone is getting pulled in. Note how many windshields have stickers. Last week at three truck stops I counted 3 out of every 4 trucks with a sticker.

    This 30 minute break isn't so bad.

    Our team runs 8 3 3 8 hours so the new 1/2 hour break doesn't cause us any big problem. Couple minutes here n there. Hope that's not to upbeat to make anyone sick.

    Scanners

    Anything that streamlines the process I am happy with. In the balances of the hundreds of thousands being generated by this truck I could give a rip about $138. It's the reoccurring weekly costs paid attention to. Every time the trip pak is put into the yellow box I would really hope it would...

    Scanners

    Is there a manufacturer name and model number on the scanner? Do you just plug in when you need to use it or do you have it mounted some how? Looking forward to getting ours.

    Clink SUCKS!!

    I was under the impression that there are additional monthly costs for the clink. Each character transmitted over the clink is charged. Much like a cell phone data plan. Add up all the dara transmitted and that may be the difference in cost you are seeing.
