RE: Wendy I agree FEDEX has over recruitided (I hope I spelt that right). We have been with FEDEX from the begining and have seen the diference from Roberts. I also think shippers depended on Roberts and when they hear FEDEX they shy away. I may be wrong. I made triple what I'm making this...

I'm doing a Lease/Purchase right now and like Wendy said, my husband and I worked for these people for a year. I feel they are the most honest people I have ever met. My contract is written in plain english, no hidden clauses. The truck is a 2001 KW T2000. I'm angry with the Chattanooga KW...

I'm sorry to say I don't think the Carriers care. I became an O/O and I'm doing nothing. I can't believe work is so slow. I've just taken a look at the Flying j's website to check the prices of fuel and I'm in shock. The prices seem to go up weekly. The runs I'm getting pay well but then I have...

I'm sorry I forgot to give you there phone # 423-877-8713 home 423-667-7066 cell. Tell them Iris told you to call. Iris

We just bought a new truck. The people we used to work for have two trucks you might be interested in. There names are George & Shelba, they live in Chattanooga, TN. I'm sure they will be able to help you. They are the most honest people I have ever met. Good Luck Iris

I hope you know a little about computers. I got my laptop through the want ads. 5mos old Toshiba 445CDX case zip drive all manuals and CD's 3 1/2"drive Microsoft Works, Quick Books, plus a bunck of other programs and a 3 yr extended warranty. All the bell and whistles, $800.00 this was about 2...

I'm leased on to FedEx and I believe if you work local you can do much better solo.

Iris I have never had a problem crossing into Canada and have always been treated well. If anything the US side is nasty and arrogant, and I'm a US citizen, then again all my paperwork is in order.

Does anyone know what the average price for a Morgan box 22'. Nothing special 3 rows of tracking. KW salesman said $8200. That seemed a little high to me. I've been told a new box is anywhere between $5000. - $7000.

I don't stay in Detroit, too many trucks there. I go up North or West and most of the time get a load before I get to the Express Center. Keep all together and whine, you have have to do what's best for you. Don't just sit and wait when there's a lot of trucks!ou should know that.

Thanks Lawrence for the come back. I thought it wa open all the time.

I want to know how come every time I go to live chat there's never anyone there. I've gone there on weekends and during the week. Is it because no one wants to talk to anyone on line?

Hi Marty; I've been averaging $1.60 mile with weight of 800 lbs. I run for Roberts Express (I don't have my FedEx signs on yet). This last run was 8,752 which wasn't too bad, but we get much more C loads then D loads. Hope this helps, good luck.

I thought we were doing so so for April but we did 11,627.for 15 trips. That's with expenses taken out. "D" unit and we were home quite a bit because I would rather be home then a truck stop. I costs me less.:7

I don't complain. I do take .90 runs if its going to put me in better center. I refuse my share of loads, and I'm getting by. Its just the slow season.

I heard they want to put on more "E" units

My owner made us an offer yesterday on a lease purchase. They said we can get a 2001 T2000 They would take 15 % of Truck income. We are now getting 60% and pay fuel & tolls all the rest they pay. I don't know what the going rate is. I do know of one person taking 25%. Does this seem fair or not...

Years ago I would say yes. I had a male dispatcher that hated me. I went to the BIG BOSS and told him. He still got in his digs every once in a while, my husband did 99% of the interaction with him. He believed women shouldn't be in trucking. I took it for 3 yrs and left for a better trucking...

I don't really know. I would say at 70 maybe every 2 yrs. Some 75 year olds have more :censoredsign: then some 60 year olds. Not everybody is the same, but I know what you mean about Florida.

I was thinking of making dream catchers and trying to sell them in front of my truck. Do you think the Detroiter would want a commission?
