    You Never Know Who'll Park Next To You

    Lets see, Monroe, MI or Miami, FL. OMG. Can't believe I am even considering comparing the two. Yep, Miami would win out every time.

    Insurance rates up

    Why would you say that Progressive is the only company? There are several other carriers out there. However, that is much different than who is the best. CIS is the best out here for our industry IMO. At this point, there is probably enough posts on the subject to confirm that. As mentioned, as...

    Re: Disgruntled FEDEX CC st8 truck drivers.....Where are they gonna go?? Landstar?? That is the problem with many carriers. They are basically operating as three different companies with very different goals. You have people selling freight for commission with no regards to how it is ran or...

    Re: sircharles4999 Might want to check. If the owner is paying for the fuel, why would he give you the FSC?

    Re: sircharles4999 It says the carrier pays .28 percent of gross. But probably means the carriers rate is 1.70

    Disgruntled FEDEX CC st8 truck drivers.....Where are they gonna go?? Landstar?? L1??

    Re: Disgruntled FEDEX CC st8 truck drivers.....Where are they gonna go?? Landstar?? I would have to think so. Vans would be questionable but I don't think the folks that would be migrating would happen all at one time. More of a twelve month process which is ample time for any carrier to adjust.

    Re: Disgruntled FEDEX CC st8 truck drivers.....Where are they gonna go?? Landstar?? Things have changed over the last ten years and will continue to change. Some of it is good, some not so good. When we started Roberts was a private company as well as Panther. Much different when looking at...

    truck size question

    True. Virginia is the one we had come out and measure the most.

    truck size question

    I think they may have left that part out in the beginning or they would have the current problem. It is true they want someone in the seat but with a TVAL truck I don't think they want a load shut down at a scale. And yes, carriers do measure.

    I would be surprised if a carrier would take it.
