To be fair, I did have a few sympathy customers who when they saw me coming looking like a frosty, they would give me a cup of hot chocolate and cookies. Both were awesome.

In my youth, my brother and I both had paper routes. At that time we lived in Toledo, Ohio. It was always special when it snowed and had to pull a wagon through the snow.lol People wanted their "Blade". They didn't care that it was cold or snowing. Two miles everyday. The walk to school was a...

That's not a lie. It did trickle down, just not to everybody.:cool:

If Carson says God is talking to him, I wonder what he is telling Huckabee?

It was an easy lie after the "we have shovel ready jobs".

You would think. As it is now, most of the border security is actually 50 miles from the actual border. Whole program needs some work. They aren't really securing much of anything.

Just another example in a long list of money wasted items. And then we wonder why we are 18 trillion in debt? It is this kind of stuff that provides the reason for no increase in taxes. Have to get the spending under control before we should even look at that. Give them more money and they will...

It might have. I won't rehash the pay side, but with regards to sleeper sizes, it is really part of a package. I don't think I pass the cost to drivers, but would readily acknowledge it is part of my operating costs. I would rather have folks in a truck they like verses one they tolerate. On the...

Aww...she looks like a cutie. ;)

Thanks. We think for the Load One system, it is the best set up while protecting both parties interest. Balance is the key. Our drivers negotiate their own loads and in their system, this provides additional compensation as well as a forced scrutiny of loads since we are both impacted by those...

I believe the original premise was why there aren't the typical 60/40 plans in the L1 system. I think it is just how they break the money apart. If the fleet owner is on the 40 percent of line haul only like myself, you have to have a minimum percentage or you are running your truck at a loss...

Looking at it through a larger lens, I would say most of this is market driven. Drivers may start out lacking the knowledge of compensation, but over time they will determine their worth and adjust accordingly. No different than any other business in that regard. The bigger issue/challenge in...

Very true on the DOD. That is really for my own comparison. I use the 1.35 (surface fleet) non lift gate because I see that over numerous trucks where with Load One I don't have that same comparison to work with. Outside of that, I take an all miles review and compare that. That counts all...

Either one can be good or bad. It depends on what numbers you are using. I can testify to that since I am doing both.

Panther is generally I believe 1.30. So that would be .52 at .40 percent. My lowest linehaul rate there is 1.35. so it would be .54 respectively. A DOD truck would be 1.43 for all loaded miles without the FSC. That would be for any load. So that would be .57 for a DOD truck at .40 percent...

I like the way I do it better so no one is upside down. Because of how they pay, I do a 60/40 but benchmark the line haul. A fleet owner could set that at 1.20 to 1.30 which would be a industry average line haul rate. If a load pays great, everyone wins. But from a fleet owner prospective, if a...

Who pays for the fuel on 50/50? Is that split as well?

My first "no need to complicate the simple" for 2015. Going with window number three. :cool:

Sometimes people have to find a regular job. :cool:
