With a 600 score, you would need 100,000 down. No one is touching the 600 crowd today... even high 6's.

How can they tell if you're texting or punching in a number? I'm sure there'll be some bad juju from this one. $2750 is a hefty fine, if the officer makes a mistake. But we all know they're perfect, right?

I hope you called the first broker up and told him/her what you got "their" load for. They really need to understand we're not idiots out here.

Amen! Donating money is one thing. However, time is more precious, to a trucker, than money. I don't even like going to church when I'm home. Besides... God knows I'm good for it. :p

They need to repeal the 17th Amendment. It's about time the STATES get some representation in DC! Travesties like Dodd and Kennedy would likely be short lived.

I wouldn't buy them yet, Dabus. There's another collapse on the horizon.

If you have decals on your van, cover them up. If not, don't worry about it. For anything bigger than a van, you would put a "not for hire" sign on your truck.

Do some checking on taxes, if that's what you want. OK has little or no registration fee for big trucks. Companies used to get POboxes there so they could tag em in OK. They did away with that. As far as being situated best for expediting, I would recommend either Texas or Missouri. I would...

I've been finding a lot more comfy mom'n'pop joints lately. They still cater to the DRIVER more than most of the bigguns. If Pilot keeps this up, the drivers who like to socialize will leave the J behind.

Yep... the government ain't "other creditors". They be the Massah!

Just talked to a friend today about his Volvo t/t. He says he's over when empty, and the scales don't bother him. It's a common problem. With you, however, I would imagine you'd be pulled in a few times; just cause you're driving something a bit outta the ordinary. Are you planning on putting...

Don't load on the front, unless you have to. Sounds like you have a Volvo.

Not true, Cheri. Express-1 has company trucks, as well as Load One.

It's not so much that solos can't make it; it's whether or not a good company will take more on. If not, you're looking at one of the bottom dwellers who will give you 4-5000 miles a week at .95/mile. In which case, I hope you don't like to sleep! :eek:

Come on! Tell ppl the ugly truth, and we lose out on watchin em squirm. :D

The worst I've seen for JB was that their stocks took a 2.6% dip because of YRC. Other transportation stocks are taking a similar dive.

Depends on what you're doing. They can be the best company, depending on what you have to offer. As a team with a 24' box, we've run non-stop the last quarter. They aren't taking on new solo straights and vans, however. They don't run hazmat or out of Canada; tho you can take freight INTO...

To answer Abe's question concerning placement with tandems, it has a lot to do with trial and error. But here's a few things I do myself... -If a couple skids under 6000, I load them on the rear end. -If more than 6000, and two skids, I load them over the rear axle. -If more than two skids...

Another simple option is to fill your truck up BEFORE you take time off.

Honestly, what you said doesn't add up. If they really lost $3300, why would you stay with them? Likewise, if they don't have enough freight. Also, 10% is norm with some companies. You find that out before you sign on by asking them. The company I'm with takes 3 weeks to pay, and charges 10%...
