Col,Im very happy,mainly because the competition here is much less, being that I have less than 25 other tractors to worry about,Yes we are smaller,but their system utilizes the equipment they have.I can't say how the ST are but tractor guys stay busy,even the solos

I have had my fuel tax be as high as 300 bucks a quarter,by just buying in the cheap states

it's rather easy,total money spent divided by total miles run,this will give you your cost per mile

S That plan was changed.My co and I had a talk,Art is coming back to work,but not 'til next friday,so I'm loading in Seymour Indiana to Talladega Al,and thats only 133 miles to the Nascar race in Atlanta. I know still a long dead head,but its making me a profit,not much but a little.Sure not...

When laying over,a lot depends what size unit.One ex center can be great for some trucks and bad for others.How long to sit,this can only be answered by how you feel,and how much your last load paid.If it was a good load,by moving ,your money per mile might not be as hurt,bad load,probably can't...

1988 when i put on my 1st team,they would come home evey weekend,no matter how far it was to dead head home.What I did was figure out what it cost per week for fuel,put a percentage on it,so what they got was 50%.Back then fuel prices were much lower.The best part,Roberts gave 50% advances so...

Without a credited school,you getting a job driving a tractor trailer is slim to none.The only companies that may hire you are those that have driving schools,such as US Express.The insurance companies dictate to what the companies can do.Years back,you could learn driving from a friend and just...

You know most teams split 60 40 and get full surcharge,what this guy is paying is 65%.he's giving 65% of the fsc,holding back 35% to cover the fuel taxes.His contract isn't really that bad.I would just rather see him pay the 100% fsc and then take the fuel taxes out of their settlement.It's only...

At Petro Atlanta Ga.Spent weekend in Apopka Fl with truck in shop at Freightliner,Looks like I have a new Co Driver,he goes to orientation next Tuesday

Even though W/G is part of FDCC,W/G has had their own rules for many years.No pets,and to be in W/G you need to be a US Citizen.These rules are because there are many customers that require this.As when you do a load that requires dual drivers,they want to speak to both drivers.Lately dispatch...

W/G trucks do many military instulations that bar pets,but mostly the nuclear ones.No pets at nuclear plants.Therefore the no pet rule in W/G.There are many good contractors @ FDCC that stay out of W/G just because they have a pet,they are still called upon do do W/G when an extra truck is...
