There's a German restaurant just a few blocks up rt 11. Maybe even walking distance . If you're tired of roller dogs. If you go south and have time check out White's Petro. Believe they have a park like area and a new bowling alley. Also, good Buffett.

Not trying to pick apart your operation. Just looking at the situation through fresh eyes., Do they send losers to other fleets, or do they save them all for you ? I can't understand a carrier being so inept.

What is your average length of employment ? How's it compare to other van fleets ?

Sounds like the OP was repositioned, not kicked out. Maybe smelly feet. Didn't hear anything about a shower receipt. And Turtle buying an inverter at a truckstop ? Who woulda thought....

Just read from top again and if $1000 per rental is too much then the carrier angle will be too much. Unfortunately, truck ownership is more costly than the average person can begin to imagine. A simple breakdown and a short tow can be $500 just for the tow. To a shop that needs to overnite...

Have you considered looking for a carrier ? When you look at purchase price, insurance, upkeep, etc you may be better off trying to hire a carrier. Take your 4 last shows and figure your real cost if you owned a truck. Then go to the home page here and call a few mid sized carriers and ask for...

Funny thing. Some Union guy at the Dunkin Donuts counter just announced I better go. I got to unload some jerk jack in one of them funny little vans.

Labor costs of 75% Where do I sign on ?

Makes sense. The Big Guy was playing air drums when HE crashed the site earlier today.

Going to try to get that book to read over the weekend. Big Dave Ramsey fan. Suggest anyone reading this book read plenty of reviews on it first. They're all over the place from this is the best thing since sliced bread to he's basically a moron and his ideas are illegal in Europe. Still...

Rich Dad Poor Dad Got to wonder if it's a story of a guy that got into expediting late in life.

You don't have a huge distinction. Or anything else huge. I've seen your hands. This is why you are not a porno star.

Isn't it a follow the money thing ? Follow the path to you find someone with deep pockets ? Sure, Johnny Vandriver doesn't have much. The load I dropped this am went through two carriers, with plenty of money. And one logistics firm. That I know of. I guess the more assets one has the more...

All my life people have been desperate for work. No pain, no gain.

My cousin didn't have a city horn. On a DOT check he yelled "Honk Honk" out the window. The cop let him slide. Once he stopped laughing.

Mine was "on a spring" so it took a concentrated effort to bypass. Otherwise some will just turn it off, losing the benefit of another safety device.

If Cheesey Auto Parts is known to use these people the legit carriers need to look at two options. They should cover none of that frieght. They are just aiding and abetting Cheesey while Cheesey is killing thier business. Let the illegals have it all until they take Cheesey down with them...

John, not to give you nightmares but you brought up a good point. HOS. If I were a lawyer,and I often wish I had pursued that path, and your van was involved in a situation with my client, that would have resulted in a violation in a regulated vehicle, my defense would be you should follow the...

Debbie does Dallas. I don't. End of problem.

Since you should have the vehicle a long time I'd suggest a deadman switch on the dash. In unusual circumstances, like backing in a residential neighborhood at 3 am, you'll bypass the noise. During the balance of the week you'll benefit from the safety it was installed to give you. Yesterday I...
