Dave,some of these people putting up numbers,make things seem strange.I know my tractor rates were better than the straights,and I know there were times I was given load offers that were off the FED broker board,but unless the posters are going to put down the actual pay for loaded miles,what...

if they don't grow it,don't raise it,don't eat it,wash it down with green tea

why pay the tolls and get stuck in traffic.Run 301 from The 104 mm on 95 in va to nj,save money and miles

I don't know what Ceva pays their owner opps,but the one I did last week paid me $1122 for 477 miles.This was better than what FDCC paid me last year when I did one for them

Back in the day,believe it was 1990,I go the idea of having more than 1 truck.it was basically so I could not have to work as hard.What a laugh.!st team,H/W,came from Schneider.They dead headed home every week end,from where ever.Their pay was 30%,I paid everything.With them dead heading home...

Today is that special day that comes once a year,yes the women had their turn,now its our day.To all you fathers, HAPPY FATHERS DAY

Driving a motor vehicle is a privilege,go to court and find out just how big a privilege it is,after the judge takes it away.As far as truck driving,it's a business that you chose to support your families.You had the right to choose what ever kind of business you wanted to be in,you chose trucking.

Shooter said it best,you can turn down as many as you wish.For those that feel the system is screwing you,just go in the office,ask to be taken into dispatch,and see how the system really works.There is a set formula on how they figure the non discount rates,then certain customers get...

Dave,Over the years I've used lots of students to run with me.It's easier to train them the expedite business.I agree with you and the same household teams,but I've had husband and wife teams that weren't as productive as two guys in the truck.To put any team in a truck,then put them straight to...

As everyone should know by now,I'm no longer with FDCC,and really have no reason to stick up for their dispatch system.Before this system,each contractor had 10 minuets to decide if they wanted the load or not.This could use up enough time,that a customer could go to another carrier,by the time...

Don't get caught driving through Houston Tx. with the straps outside the rub rails.

FDCC has started a new division,mainly for the solo drivers,that will be on a graduated pay scale,and I believe,it starts out at 1 buck plus fsc for all miles,no give away.After so many miles the pay goes up.As far as the low rates,Dave,that new dispatch system has nothing to do with the low...

This hall of fame will really be difficult.First off,in the real beginning,there were just two actual carriers that represented themselves as expediters.So therefore,the owners of those two companies,need to be in the hall,because they had a vision.Now, in those companies,you had contractors...

Most truck drivers either running solo or team,usually make around $1000 per week each.In expediting,if an owner pays his teams $2000 per week,and after the rest of their expenses,they may not make enough to stay in business.This is why they like to hire same household teams.Not every week the...

Each form of pay has it's own merit..Percentage usually gets you more money on the short runs.Mileage get's you more pay on the discounted runs.,which in turn will let you sit longer for your next move.Bottom line is,if you don't know your bottom line,then there isn't any system that will make...

Doing a relocation is different than just going to the laundromat or Wall mart,or even visiting relatives.In any case,to be able to use your truck as a personal vehicle,you cannot be under load,and you must be out of service.Doing this with a C or D unit is a real gray area,cause you could...

My QC includes a dome and keyboard.All the cables were installed by Freightliner at the factory.When I left FDCC I dropped off the box with their dome and keyboard,when I started with TRI STATE all that was needed was to install their dome and keyboard. I've had a QC Since the Roberts Express...

using your truck as your personal vehicle,during time off,was told to me.first you have to be out of service,and dot signs covered.if you would drive to another location,you have to be dispatched from the original location,but here's the hard part.if the vehicle your in,can haul a load from...

Something to think about.FDCC,Panther,Tristate,and the other companies that get the large discount at the TA truck stops,if everyone would only buy fuel at the TA,don't you think the other truck stops would have to follow suit and lower their prices.It be like the price wars of the 80's

Dakota,what would happen if while hauling that Towne load,and not be under Ceva's authority,you would have an accident.An accident that was your fault,and someone got hurt?Since your not on a Ceva load,you now have no liability insurance.what happens?
