    Getting a percentage instead of flat rate

    I didn't ask for a definition of expedite freight. Which you described very well. I asked if most here really run LTL thinking they are expediting. Beach bums trip with an extra week. Expedited ? The guy that hauls the Monday thru Friday one pallet that picks up at 07:00. I'd say most here...

    Truckers Continue Protesting for Better Pay

    If he insulted all the HARD WORKING men and women of Michigan he didn't insult the whole state. He insulted maybe 25% of the state. And 50%of the Lions and Red Wings.

    Things that go bang or thud

    Sometimes the low bidder isn't the best choice. I-10 in Texas probably doesn't have many low bridges. Or even close to low. Of course it only takes one.

    Paying your drivers

    If you pay to a Comdata Card, the driver can set it up to transfer any or all to his bank account. $1.75 for the transfer. Any time he wants he dials in and transfers as much of his balance that pleases him. Be classy, give the driver the extra $1.75 to cover his cost. Keep it simple.

    Big Truck A Newbie Doing Their Homework...

    You need to read more here than you have. Keep your class A. When you can pay cash for a nice van, with a few grand in reserve, check to see how vans are doing. If you try it, you can always go back to big trucks and have a nice paid off van at home. Remember THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE RIGHT JOB.
