The gurantee would be great as long as you didnt have to move your truck.If you ended up going 1500 miles a week,half loaded half empty,you would only be getting your guarantee Ive known guys that got a 2500 gurantee,and lost money doing it

I am where I was in 1995,at least weight wise.Working on my BMI,if I can get it a little higher,I believe the government would have to pay me to sit home as I couldn't get a job driving, do to their new regulations.Then I could watch Tv all day instead of driving my truck

I would take a straight truck,put a 26 ft flat bed on it,you can still hook your fork lift to the rear,and you have plenty of room for 12 pallets

When your talking of custom trucks,are you talking of those with the big sleepers,or the ones that are just a little different than the rest.Ive never owned a truck with oner of those custom sleepers,but have owned a couple trucks that I put my own personal touches to.When I sold or traded...

20 years ago,i had a postal move,was from the old philadelphia pst office to the new one,for 3 blocks in downtown philly,paid me 1500 bucks,but if you really want a good one,dead headed from Portland Me to San Climente Ca ,load paid 17000 bucks,went to Zion Il.

Ive been expediting,not in a straight truck or van,but tractor trailer,for over 25 years.As the industry changes you sometimes always feel as a newbie. When I first became an owner operator,I was hauling produce from the west coast to NY and doing air freight back to California.The air freight...

Normally,when I go back in service after being home for the weekend,we go in service at home,and usually get a short load to the east coast,that usually turns into another short l.oad or long dead head This time after going back inservice,we dead headed to Toledo,usually getting much longer...

what I havce found,not all the TA's are giving cost plus,many are just doing retail minus,but the ones that show both,you get the best discount for the two different types.this discount is being put together by the company your leased to.each company has a different price for discount.you will...

Greg,one time a couple years ago I was involved in a air move with fed ex express.My part was a short move,the plane came cross country.When the offer came across it was for the 60% of all the charges.I was in shock as my part was just 200 miles.I did get a phone call with appology that I was...

The closest thing you will find in a regional situation in expediting,is if you live in a very busy area,you take a load deliver it then DH home.Most expedited freight has no direction,you very rarely go to the same shipper.If you would find a regional company,the pay would be very low.Companies...

You want miles,contact TRI State,they will run the wheels of your truck,and put money in your bank.$137000 isn't enough for a H/W team

unless you get a contract,don't sign on with anyone.Most of the up and up owners have contracts.

Greg, I'm with Leo,looks like your expecting your percentage for the whole load,not the 30 miles it was going.If that would haver been a tractor move,for 30 miles,would have paid $510 less any discount,plus FSC.NIOw if a truck would have done the whole move from NJ to NV,thats a light in a...
