Something else to consider on top of how the company figures the miles is whether you are incorporating the loss of pay per miles into your cpm to operate. Another trick is how the load is dispatched. Shortest miles for pay and fastest route for dispatch time. eb

In searching the site, look for posts by a member named geo. He runs the kind of routes that might work for you. eb

It would almost be a coin toss for me, but Ohio is more central to the known universe of expediting, some would like that. However, if you stay in the center, the longest loads can only take you half way across the circle. Live on the edge of the circle and there is always the chance of the...

Walmart and the public library. Rarely the truckstop, and sometimes even if I sleep at one, I'll leave without even touching the ground. Doing a search for UltraOne and "Fleet One"; it returns more comments on different card programs. There was one thread from when Lawrence was helping to set...

Yes, only one. The first remodeling job. You still have to do all the others as they come up. Where do they all come from anyway? eb

It is the "it can vary..." part that I'm talking about. You only have an idea of how any carrier works until you are running their system. One carrier pays higher for sprinter loads, another carrier "says" they pay for sprinter loads. Once that is established then I'll work on being creative. eb

Run for a while without a "permanent" sleeper and then you can calculate what you would lose in volume and weight. Also try doing a search on the forum for "sprinter sleeper"--quote marks included. eb

Oh, but we can't stop ripping on them. --eb

You could expedite a skateboard, too. --eb

I like a mix. Sort of like having a mix of hobby drivers, who stay close to home, and those fulltime extremists who do it for a living and stay out and follow the freight. In the mix for fleet owners and single owners, fleets provide a general bulk of vehicles, and single owners provide an...

This is from a previous conversation. eb

No one has to be able to read to enjoy air conditioning. eb

Laredo Public Library, along with a couple Panther cargo vans. eb

Honestly, I wasn't intending for this to turn into a thread that would spill over to a second page. But inspite of all the hits, I still have no idea what this advertising tab is advertising--something about a total package? eb

Which is why I try to not tell it everything. eb

I lie about all those numbers anyway. eb

Is my birthday in there too? eb
