Asking for a settlement isn't going overboard. I ask to have one, being that I get xx% of everything, that's how I know what everything is. Not saying the owner would cheat us, but there's always that possibility. Moreso, the company isn't always accurate on what they pay. Sometimes, they'll...

The only question that I could see pertaining to the topic is #32. The errand is at your leisure, so it's off duty. I'm kinda upset that they don't go more into details about driving/off duty time when you don't have any commercial responsibilities.

I don't know if I can agree with that. The prices at Mid Georgia aren't all that bad, as compared to FYDA. They're right around Knoxville's range. Question is, why hide the fact that you have respectable prices? That's a big turnoff for me as well.

Heck... I just told him take 95 to the Throgs Neck to the LIE. Seems the easiest way to LI. I always take the White Stone to JFK. Either bridge goes to 495. Just can't see any reason to get off the expressways.

You'll never forget those times. My daughter pressed the button I told her to, and I'll remember her face till the day I die when the air horn went off. :7 Unfortunately, I can't take anyone with me. But, we'll see if either company policies or companies change in the next 5 years or so. I...

Not when you figure it'll be about $2500/mo for 5 years, depending how much they put down. That wouldn't make me too happy. But hey... don't have to pay drivers that way :7

Now you want DOT to stop obese drivers at the scale and check their cholesterol and blood pressure? Why not nip it in the bud and have them removed from the buffet? Since I'm a smoker, they can check me for blood pressure. I know of at least one diabetic who shouldn't be driving. Let's ban...

Broom asked me to post this, seein as he's driving right now. He'll be there late at night on a Sunday, so no worrying about traffic. What way do you take out to Long Island (via the LIexpressway)?

I see a big correlation between that site and rense.com. A lot of bashing of Israel and conspiracies about our government and such. Not that I don't believe some of these things they say, but I think if you overflow your site with the unbelievable, you discredit the factual.

That's good news! Glad to hear a deserving couple are going to run a behemoth like that. :D

I can only speak of my experience with Panther. When I was solo, a lot of my hours were used to dh. That limited my loaded miles. Granted, I was solo during Feb/March, but I barely squeeked out my truck payments for those two months. When I teamed with my nephew, we still ran mostly solo runs...

Greg... just going with what I've heard. FXCC is known to be a team company, probably moreso than Panther. And I've driven solo with Panther, and barely made the truck payments.

I agree, Joebob. But these companies aren't going to show you their homework. You're better off doing your own. God forbid they have contractors who can make INFORMED decisions. Then they'd feel they have to answer to us.

First mistake... running solo for FXCC.

In a cargo van? Not likely. Sounds like someone blew him smoke. $1,500 to $1,800 are possible, but not consistant. That's more for a straight truck (and usually higher) than in a van. But the chances he'll be home most of the week in a straight truck is slim, at best. Unless he'll be running for...

Good solo company threads have come up before. So have bad solo companies. LOL Good: Express-1, most mid-sized companies. I heard Nations Express is decent, Try Hours, PTL, C&M. Bad: Panther, FXCC, Conway are all team driven. Heard good and bad on Conway, but mostly bad with regard to solos.

I think there's some misunderstanding here. If you're away from home, you can use the truck as you see fit. However, you must log it as driving. If you're starting off at home, and want to take it on a vacation, you can use it as a personal vehicle. However, you have to cover up all DOT numbers...

Thanx guys :D Seahawk fan? I'll do my best! :7

David... no use talking, as she only wants to hear how great a team her and her hubby are. I can't believe someone is so stuck on themselves! Guess you know everything. In that case, what's the use of coming to a forum? Sorry I ever responded to ya. BTW... after talking down to us, then saying...

If you replaced "expediters" with "laxative", that would work too :7 Sorry... first thing that came to mind :+ What if we can't get to an expo or workshop? Can we get one via mail?
