    Newbie? Oldbie?

    i think after the first year newbie jitters, the second step would be becoming a twobie. because more than likely ya wondered about continuing, or putting it another way, twobie or not twobie, that is the question.

    Why do people get into this Business and take off 25% of the year?

    What if you had the luxury of a 10 hour ( 500 to 600 mile ) run any time you wanted. Sooo, being the greedy money grubbing person you are you wanted it as often as possible. HOS says 70hrs/8day rule. By working 10 on, sleeper 10 off, then immediately going 10 on, you will hit 70 hours on the...

    Fleet owner observation

    Hi highway star, in the nth condition of ultimate lose would be a bankruptcy. In my example that is what i was implying. a total devastating lose just lands everybody back to ground zero, no matter how far the fall. i guess i can ask the same question, what is the proper proportion of risk...

    Fleet owner observation

    In my experience, employees are more concerned with payday and weekends (time off) than a better understanding of the job, in the "big picture". Some may like or even want to know more about what you do as an owner but the vast majority just want you to do, whatever it is, good enough to make...

    Fleet owner observation

    "For every bad story about a fleet owner, I would imagine the owners could post about the drivers. But, it is a working partnership, with different levels of investment and risk. If "they both go down", those risks are not proportionate." I see we are playing forum tag. The family that...

    Fleet owner observation

    I guess stating the obvious is a common place thing here in EOland. As to my "trillions" comment, the reason it was in quotes was to be facetious as the amount of money being made. Wheeeeeoooo i hope that cleared the air there. But the comments about us and them are not class envy or even...

    Fleet owner observation

    davekc, I am wondering who this post was intended. For someone like me who is a driver for an owner? Or for fleet owners who aren't feeling loved in the forums. I do not disagree with statements about what an owner may face its just a little self serving. I know I know, we should better...

    To Accept Or Not To Accept???

    The way I see it is you are not showing the actual cost of fuel, but the FSC reduced cost. Yet you left the FSC in your earnings. Best to show the actual cost of fuel, be it 4.00 or 5.00 per gallon and take that as your fuel deduction. In the end the FSC is nothing more than income. So add...

    Hmm

    it starts off very subtly, first "they" erase things. Things you just know were there! Then people start to disappear. POOOOF, gone , banished to the nether world. Watch out, can book burnings be far behind? How do you like your stake? thru the heart or on fire?

    fonts, colors, individuality and readability

    It almost looks like a word or notepad font that is then copied and pasted into the thread. If it is, set it to bold and it should be okay. ( or even bump up the font size ) My two cents worth, not really saying you MUST do that, you are welcome to use any font you like as you see to use it...

    making a living

    The answer is a resounding...... yes!..... I think.... well being on record as saying you can make money in todays expediting world doesnt change the facts as pointed out by so many, these are very hard times. A one household team will have a better oppotunity to succeed, in my opinion than a...

    Would you be willing to shut down??

    I would not shut down. Having been on the "management side" of negotiations for many years I am not a fan of strikes. Making a point in a negotiation between management and labor is a far different situation than the we are finding ourselves in today. I dont believe our fight is with our...
