Good luck with your fleet business and moving forward. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

Right the driver transports it and that's it, a job mentally retarded people can do. I don't mean that as an insult but there are plenty of mentally retarded people and some that just aren't right doing our job. There are plenty of much more valuable skills that successful brokers have and...

I might be inclined to say I was getting ready to avoid a deer I saw running towards the road. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

What makes you more valuable than a broker? There is a reason drivers are disposable to brokers and agents, its because they don't need you. If you don't take the load 100 other guys will, which makes you very disposable. I bought into all the crap that companies put out there about how drivers...

I understand your point, you don't think we are being paid or treated fairly. I think the issue is truck drivers and not brokers so education is more important than a strike. A strike which will never take place in any numbers that matter would bring negative attention because we allowed our...

Sounds like a great idea, I have been switching to Powerade Zero and unsweetened ice tea to slowly get rid of soda but the big issue I have is the caffeine addiction. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

A strike wouldn't stop drivers from taking cheap freight, they will just run more of it while you aren't working and really tank the rates. Not on the loads I take. We run a lot of military freight so I get to frequently see the rates and the most I saw a broker make was around $300 which was...

I used to think the same thing but if you actually start looking into what brokers make you will see they don't make as much as the driver. Well that is as long as you don't accept the first rate they offer. I book my own loads so I deal with the brokers myself and will only accept a rate I...

I believe it was the solid white line but white lines can be crossed legally where a solid yellow line cannot. He should take a little time to research the exact citation he received and the law regarding white lines. Sometimes what the officer thinks the law means is not what it says. I...

I would do some research on what the law is exactly and call a lawyer to get their opinion if your not sure. A white line can be crossed and when driving a larger vehicle you usually favor that side for safety. If you went way over the line then that could be an issue but just going over a...

Sorry to hear that, maybe things will change in the future as you settle into your new careers. Are you going to let us know what franchise you are getting involved with or do you have to wait? Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

The issue is that if you work for a cut rate carrier that consistently bids freight to 1.50 then having a fixed percentage of 80% has less value than a company that keeps the rate at 2.00 and you get 70%. The way a company bids freight is just as important as the percentage paid. Sent from my...

I'm wondering if you would be willing to help members here lose weight either through posts or blogs. You have already established yourself as a successful, well written driver. You have the insight to know what the life of an OTR driver is like and with your current plan of opening a gym I am...

Well at least you will get back out on the road soon to start earning. The repairs might have taken longer than you upfitting it. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

And there is the rest if the story. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

Very true, especially in an industry where unprepared newbies come in not understanding what they are doing. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

No hugs, just hunkers. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

Sometimes people cast a large net when they feel that the police have over extended their reach, they feel like the cops should ignore laws or court rulings that they do not agree with. I have mentioned my past indiscretions that caused me to have contact with the police but I never hated the...

No she isn't that dumb, it was a fake call that the radio station tried to pretend is real. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

It was probably welded on by a beginner then covered in bondo to cover up their awful work. The problem is their bondo skills are even worse than their welding skills. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums
