Hey Bruno, I would have responded quicker but I was in the bathroom........ anyway, my request was for you to back up your boasts about your good fortune. Hey I didnt bring up your topics , you did, but you said it with inuendo, smoke and mirrors can get by some, but not most here on EO...

A lot of talk going on recently about who makes what. Newbies and old fa... alike would probably like specifics to help in career moves. Give it up y'all. This Y-T-D as of Aug 31st I've had 88 runs, 75,531 T.M., with $154,019 gross. That is 2.039/mile or 1750.21/run. I am with Fedex in...

Hey jaminjim, i have shared my earnings, just a few weeks ago, so i guess i am qualified to ask Bruno what he is making................so Bruno give it up, the facts, not retoric, three runs with specifics, you know, total miles, total run pay, DHPU, FSC, so we can all be jealous. Be Informed.

This is too funny......... too sad as well. i'm right no meeeeeeee........ gonna tell on you.... GROW UP ALREADY. You both post some good info, to bad you taint it with immaturity. Be Informed.

Sunday around 9pm the lights went out, so we ran an extension cord from the truck to the garage, hooked up the dvd projector, started the APU, popped popcorn in the truck and watched movies until wee hours waiting on the electricity to come back on..................... finally came back on...

Linda would snag pictures, I would grab my guitars, Hooch would bring that **** squeeky toy.

One thing Linda and I am very proud of is our Daughter Heather. She is a senior at Kent State, and is now completing her student teaching requirements before graduating in '09. We never missed one teachers meeting, swim meet, softball game, or orchestra recital in her 1st twelve years of...

Why the doom and gloom. Mostly cause of personalities. Some want to be recognized as super truckers, others as all knowlegable, others just like to whine. Can you make money , NOW, in expediting.......absolutlely. Gee why do I say that? My wife and I and I JUMPED into this biz...

An answer I would expect from you. Be informed.

Phil, most of our trips home are well thought out in advance. We accept loads that take us within an acceptable dead head range. ( 250 miles is a target ). We give ourselves a window of +/- two or three days to get there. Often,once we are in our DH range and go out of service, we get a call...

What a shame it is when people with so much to offer others with their "experience" act like little children. When my wife and I were looking for something else to do for a career, the EO was helpful in many ways explaining what expediting is about. You babies are talking about vanilla vs...

There are programs in place to help the home owners. Speaking from personal experience, my mortgage company, in May of 2008, offered me a "modification" to my existing loan. This program re-evaluated my position, home value and market. No fees were involved. My loan "paper" was rewritten to...

I could have easily lost the extra 4% if i was careless. I purchase fuel at TAs and I check the web to see where the best prices are. State to state prices vary as much as .50/gallon, right? Also, as most do on this site I run efficiently. I minimize needless DH, dont idle, travel at speeds...

Hi Eric, We drive for Fedex. The rates for FSC are flexible flat, they vary as the national fuel prices do. For comparison sake every one can figure their net on both pay systems. Everyone has the fuel costs. Run a comparison using YOUR sets of criteria for pay. Let the facts speak for...

We have been on a 60/40 split + FSC for 18 months. We pay fuel and tolls. The owner pays ALL maintenance and repairs plus anything we buy to keep the truck in good shape like seat covers, floor mats or a rug for the floor and truck washes. I compare my 60/40 + FSC every month to a 40/60 ( 40 %...

Stats are a game. Both sides wield them as gospel and they can be used against each others' argument. I agree with Greg, the only relevant stats are the ones you need to keep to know where you stand. BUT, be aware of the terms and conditions that regulate the stats for whom you drive...

money in and money out. or gross receipts less expenses. call it what you want, FSC or income, you have a say ( limited ) on its impact towards your bottom line. I track my average cost of fuel after applying the FSC so I can determine if my 60/40 split is better than a 40/60. But bottom line...

Hi CharlesD, I understand and appreciate your belief. Its your right thats been paid for by many, including yourself. Maybe there should be a cap along the lines of "USMS" or United States Military Supporter. Then you'd have a cap to get the sun out of your eyes. Back to the original...

Since 911 I have seen "NYFD" caps and t-shirts all over this country. I dont believe they are making themselves out to be $4.95 heros. I believe that the majority of them are paying tribute to the NYFD. A few probably wear them because its fashionable. I have caps from every branch of...

looks the vehicle Jed Clampet drives in "The Beverly Hillbillies 2008" y'all come back now ya hear.
