So he would get 38.5 cents per loaded mile plus FSC of (current) 18 cents for a grand total of 56.5 cents. Out of that he pays for fuel which today at 15 mpg would cost 19.2 cents (gas van) for a gross profit of 37.3 cents....assuming he pays for nothing else. That's the basic math. The devil...

Very happy Tim was at the helm today.

I dunno about that guy eh? Got rid of a just off new Chevy for a Taco truck.

One of the first sections they finished on 696 is already being ripped out without ever being open. Concrete failed testing.

I had a Rand McNally and loved it at first but every time it updated it got stupider and stupider as far as routing and the traffic service they used seemed to only know about traffic jams in big cities, never on the highway. Been using Google and a map last 3 years or so.

Is this that EcoBoost/Blast thing you've been talking about? You have to feed those things Bran?

You can ALWAYS blame things on your husband....at least that's what my wife says....and I know enough not to disagree.

2 turndowns logged for the same run number. Makes me feel special. Congrats on the retirement Eddie!!!

Uh....definitely not me. I don't agree with it at all.

I was thinking of the old standard sheet from FedEx....I thought the straights were at 10 but that might have been for C units and maybe D's were different. I know the van and TT base mpgs were right.

You forgot the AKA after OVM.

Unless you see the actual billing the carrier sends to its customer you just have trust them or spot check them now and again by asking to see the actual billing. There is no "set" FSC formula...every carrier is different and many have different FSC rates for different customers. If your...

Memorable meal? Sure........

We basically elected Derek Zoolander as Prime Minister so this is the kind of legislation that's considered "priority".

My point is I don't think the carrier "lied". People too often don't do the proper research on a carrier or the contract they sign because everything is just blah blah blah until they hear the words miles or money. Or, because so and so at that truckstop or on the internet said carrier X was...

Who knows.....but I've heard rumors of something VIP called the "Blue Stripe Lounge".

Only 6 weeks at a carrier, a drive by posting and, a going away in a huff type of post..... I stand by my assessment of likelihood. People see miles and dreams and can easily gloss over the details....many carrier recruiters count on it. When it happens, it's not the carriers fault.

One of these days I expect to drive by and see a big blue L on a tailfin sticking out of a hangar.

No calls today except from Talladega Speedway letting me know the upgraded tickets I've been after for a few years were mine for the taking....uh yes please.

A browser with a good script and ad blocker like Brave cleans EO and many bloat filled sites up quite nicely. Easy to briefly turn scripts on for useful things (like signing in) and then off again before the popups and other malarkey come back to annoy. Also speeds up the whole browsing...
