    credit repair service

    I used the term "on the verge of bankruptcy". Dave Ramsey doesn't tell people that can pay their debts not to. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    Question about fuel surcharge

    Well 60% of $1.30 is .78/mile and let's say you get 9 MPG instead of 10 and pay $4.00/gallon that means your fuel costs are .44/mile. You take the .78-.44=.34/mile but then you add in a fsc rate of say .30/mile which when added together equal .64/mile instead of the .52/mile you would get at the...

    Question about fuel surcharge

    You can be an independent contractor and not own the truck. I agree with you that owner is looking to take advantage of the poor job market. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    Question about fuel surcharge

    You will mostly likely not be an employee, you will be an independent contractor. If you want to make money in the transportation industry you need to be in a business owner mindset. If you can make more money by paying for fuel why wouldn't you? It is the steering wheel holders that don't want...

    credit repair service

    That is not even close to the advice he offers, he tells that to people that already are in that spot and on the verge of bankruptcy. He says to pay your smallest bills first and once they are paid off use that money towards the next bill. When he went bankrupt he owed people and businesses...

    Question about fuel surcharge

    I think you missed the part where jj said not to forget deadhead so you will not be bringing home $194, my guess is from the low pay they are not going to treat you fairly, I wonder if they are going to have you paying the fuel taxes as well.

    Question about fuel surcharge

    With the price of fuel changing the way it has I would figure $4.00 divided by your figure of 7mpg that is a little over .57 per mile for fuel, if you use your figure of 1.30/mile of which you get 45% that is .585/mile plus .30/mile for fuel surcharge, so that is .855/mile total revenue per mile...

    Question about fuel surcharge

    I don't think you will see a 1.30/mile with Panther for the most part. You say you are getting the fuel surcharge so are you paying for fuel as well?

    Questions about picking the right teammate

    Look for somebody that is older than you not the same age, you want someone that can train you since you are new and someone in their mid-20's probably shouldn't be training anybody, they have confidence and limited knowledge that gives the illusion they are experienced and knowledgeable but...

    Are you a Toy Story, Cars, Pixar or Cheers Fan?

    The show Made In America is great to watch, being able to see that there is still pride in the american factory worker is great.

    The Droid EO app and permissions

    A lot of people would be suprised at the number of people in their 60's, 70's, and even 80's that have Droids. I helped a number of them setup and figure out their phone when I was in customer service.

    Florida couple forecloses on bank...

    Makes you laugh and wonder at the same time. Bank of America did the same sort of thing to my brother, they doubled his interest rate from 12 to 24% and gave him 4 different reasons why they did so and they were proven wrong each time. Of course they refused to lower the interest rate each time...

    Weiner says.. wait, that WAS me!

    I wonder if any newspapers have the stones to run the headline "Weiner Admits Short Comings". Notice he appears to be wiping away a tear in the interview but there is nothing there.

    Who to sign up with for ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE?

    I got my insurance through CIS and they use Progressive so roadside is already part of my insurance plan as it is with some other companies. Another option is through your cell company Verizon has roadside for a few dollars a month that can be added. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    Load Checks evry 150 miles?

    Exactly a seal will show you have protected the freight and that no one has been inside including yourself. When I was running loads of beer I used my padlock and Budweiser's seal, this was to protect me and protect the load from sticky fingers since it seems beer is stolen a lot. Posted with...
