    How's a Swift driver with goiter or a Schneider amputee supposed to swing it in there with you in the way???

    60/40 revisited?

    Think about it. That .05 comes from somewhere. Perhaps the 90% preferred customer rate?

    Only a single axle. That's like having a horse with three legs.

    Night... you know you're blocking the crippled spots there. That's a violation. :D

    60/40 revisited?

    Never say never. Some fleet owners demand their drivers ask them before accepting a load. Some others demand their drivers take every load. Some demand their drivers ask them where to layover. Makes you wonder if the owners own not only the trucks, but the drivers too. Yep... some owners want...

    What does it matter, Dave? As long as the driver is making 900-1500, it doesn't matter if he runs 3000 miles or 12,000 miles. He's making good money! And he should be happy he has a job at all! When I was in the Marines, we figured out pay for a PFC (Private First Class). Since we were a Marine...

    Don't worry! You're "guaranteed" to pay a qc fee.

    Need Opinions PLZ!!!!!

    Honestly, I'm wondering why you're curious if you're doing so well. Yes, a definitive answer is hard to give without extrapulating data. But if I pontificate the scenario, and quantify the non-quantification, I come up with the conclusionization that I can only state the followingication...

    Courier to Expediting???

    What is your time worth? Just because a load makes a profit, doesn't mean it's enough of a profit to be worth my time. Me having a paid off truck or not does not go into the equation. Think of it this way... you just paid off your house. Would you be willing to give the government that much more...

    Need Opinions PLZ!!!!!

    1. Nothing has changed. I'm still in a straight. 2. Personal experience and info from nearly everyone on here. Also the number of straight trucks in the classifieds, and the price wanted. Demand has gone down, supply up. As far as t/t vs straight truck loads, I've seen t/t loads outnumber...

    We are headed for dire times

    Blaming corporations for leaving for greener grass is crazy. They were run out by our government! Our federal corporate taxes are 30%! That's the second highest in the world! Notice the ones who stay behind are just fading away. As far as things changing... not with any of the three we have...

    Courier to Expediting???

    JPalmer... I'm remembering a post you made about drivers being able to take lower rates with a paid off truck and no overhead. Now re-read these posts. For the most part, this is the result. These ppl own their own trucks and are still struggling. They already get low rates due to their...

    Pets- Cranberry Coast Cats

    I saw the strangest thing once. Parked next to a long-nose tractor, and a cat was laying on the nose. The guy kept the window open so she could step on the mirror and climb back in. But the noise of the trucks didn't bother her. Now THAT'S a puppy-cat! Currently, I'm debating taking my Aussie...

    Need Opinions PLZ!!!!!

    I'll be brutally honest here. There is little freight out here for the number of straights. And tho the number of straights is going down, it is because the number of loads is going down faster. IMO, if you're used to driving a t/t, and want to get into a straight, you're nuts! As far as I'm...

    Where's your sense of humor?

    I'LL BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR! Actually, I thought I lost mine too, until I looked at the classifieds and what some ppl think their truck is worth. I bout turded myself!!! Maybe they think it's a classic or antique, therefore we should pay more for more age. Or like it's more experienced with...

    Pets- Cranberry Coast Cats

    Wow Bombay, you know your kitties! I have two Bengals at home. I love em! I think they'd be good truck cats, as they love to lounge. They are half-brothers, and one is pushing 19 lbs, and the other is an obvious runt at 12 lbs. I would recommend this breed if, like Bombay says, they are removed...
