    I can tell you why rates are so low. Its not fuel.

    It makes sense for the broker with the .60 vans to get as much as possible,also. With the % carrier they are required by law to give you proof of the rate. Edit: proof of rate may not be required in the unregulated segment.

    Bako missed a great opportunity to air his story to people with 100's of years combined experiance. They could have explained why whatever happened did . No one company will please everybody. ES's history is that they do a lot of good things for a lot of people. Bako needs to understand what...

    Would you take Higher Rate and less Miles or More Miles and Lower Rate?

    Yeah, but if your magnet means Laredo to Michigan, another is Laredo to So Cal, another Laredo to New England, etc, do you really care about those other magnets if you're wanting to get back towards Taylor ?

    How long till this starts hitting expedited carriers?

    I'd be inclined to hide the paper log and show the e-log. It will be legal, shouldn't get you any stupid tickets for silly errors, and they used to not look at them very closely. The paper log I would leave out of reach, out of sight. And copy it as close to exactly as you can at the end of...

    It is very rare to hear a negative comment about ES. As large as they are, and as old as they are, you'd think there'd be more negative stuff. I imagine they are pretty awesome to have the positive reputation they have. So, do you have an interesting story to share ?

    TK, you have a reason to have the authority to operate in conjunction with your show activities. Would you get authority just to run load board freight w/o having to lease to a carrier ? If my uncle said I'll give you X amount of freight if you get your own authority, that makes sense to me. To...

    I never understood your own authority to run load board freight. It only makes sense to me if you have enough direct customers to carry that overhead.

    DOT questions.. Drybox to flatbed conversion.

    I guess I missed the part where we hear why the present box needs replacing. If selling it is an option, why not sell as is or as a cab and chassis ? That may be interesting to more buyers than a flatbed. I also think a professionally built used flatbed could be bought for less than $5,000.

    Sprinter aux tank

    You can offset some of the weight and wear issues if you only put 20 gallons or whatever you may need to get back to cheaper prices. If you guess low you at least are buying less high price fuel than without the added tank.

    Since I don't have the decoder ring, What exactly did the first post say ? Did you go look at driving for an owner that had crap equipment ? Are you aggravated that you're losing loads to people running crap equipment ?

    Kentucky used truck

    Mudduck, I'm very hard headed and like my money. My last suggestion is to call the dealer and ask why they told you no sales tax. Dealer says no tax. Dave KC ( smartest guy on EO) said probably no tax. BigStickJr ( eighth smartest guy on EO) said probably no tax. For the amount involved I'd...
