    1.20 /mile expedite freight

    In a nut shell,having a truck that is capable of hauling anything FDCC has to offer,is a plus.This will get you loaded when another may sit for long periods of a time.Is it worth the initial investment,well it will keep you busier.Will your bottom line be better,only time will tell.

    1.20 /mile expedite freight

    Sounds like he's getting LG offers,or some of the other highly discounted loads.I know most of the D truck owners say they can't do the $1.20 / mile freight,but guess what,ask one of those Forward Air teams what they are getting per mile in their tractor trailers.They wish they made that much.

    Working the numbers and confused

    You know if your going to haul what is considered cheap freight,maybe your better off not knowing what it cost to actually run your truck.I even bet when most people figure their cost,they don't figure the cost of replacement.Or how about this,they take the truck payment out,instead of...

    Independent contractor no more?

    Being private contractor is pushing a gray area and always has.Roberts was always very careful about that gray area. Custom Critical,follows the Roberts way.Ground being on private contractor status has been very shaky for years,from the mandatory white trucks to having to be in uniform.
