Bernie, can you cite the law that specifies who gets the fuel surcharge? Because it's my understanding that there is no such law, though there ought to be - and this is one time I'd sure like to be wrong!

The question is like "What's the best carrier?" The answer is going to be subjective, and therefore varied. It is whatever YOU think it is.

While I agree that whoever pays for fuel should get 100% FS, I think your logic gets faulty on the rest of the accessorials. DH pay should be split, because the truck incurs wear & tear, liftgate should be shared because the owner paid for the liftgate, etc. Leo has a fair system, dividing it...

City: Sacramento, Ca Days: 5 How I passed the time: chores inside & out of truck, personal grooming, meal preparation in advance (hoping to be too busy driving later!), EO, email, sewing, reading, and finally, called 1 800 CALL DAVEKC to find a backhaul out of there! Left: loaded, with a...

I don't really care WHAT it's called - I'd just like it to be based upon the factors within my control, and not upon those I can't control.

Two questions come to mind: Do you not consider TerryandRene to be successful? Should this have been posted in either Newbies or Newbies FAQ? It's a truthful evaluation, from your perspective, but mostly useful for the Newbies & wannabees, IMO. Anyone who's been out here more than a few months...

Butterfly makes a very good point: a bonus based on miles run, or acceptance rate, is a bonus that involves factors outside the driver's control. I've received a bonus one month for doing what I do every month - just happened to get more miles in that one month. Didn't accept more loads, because...

Me too - I'm in KC now. (But not sleeping in a dump, thank goodness):cool:

Cheap freight is whatever you say it is, and ATeam is certainly smart enough to know that, so why ask?

But you didn't laugh - even when I offered to skip the hotel if I was home for the weekend :D Seriously, some folks will ask for the moon, figuring they have nothing to lose: the worst you can do is say "no", eh? And the best thing you can say, IMO, is "When you earn it, you'll get it" If you...

I can't play anything except dead, but send a msg to Packmule, if you're getting a jam session together. Bet there's a lot of others who play, too, if you ask....

Bruno is correct, that if the driver gets 100% of the FS, they should pay the fuel tax (or get any rebate due, if they followed Leo's advice, and fueled smart) and I, for one, do. As for drivers who want the good stuff, they should get that too - when they've proven that they deserve it, with...

A jam session at the liftgate cookout in Wilmington - cool beans! :cool: Those of us who are vocally challenged can just suck helium & sing "I'm too sexy":D eh?

Don't ask me where I left it - It could be any place Not used to this new truck yet, With different kinds of space Might have left it in Kentucky Or Nebraska - I'm not sure Been so many places It's becoming one big blur I'll keep my eye out for it, though 'Cause it feels out of whack And...

Pjjj, maybe it's just that you have younger eyes, lol - I can read Linder's font ok, it's just awfully small;)

Isn't that what nearly everything in America is all about anymore - commercialization? (I'm expecting the announcement any time now, that the White House has been renamed, after a vicious & expensive battle of the bidders, as: "The Yahoo! White House":eek:) So just when I thought I couldn't...

Yes, Pjjjj, people really DO call - especially the kind of people who enjoy causing trouble, as long as they think they're anonymous. Years ago, I got a call from ConWay Now Safety, saying I'd been reported by a 'civilian' who said I was going so fast they couldn't catch up to me. (Didn't occur...

I have to say that I'm in awe of you guys, who do it all - don't think I could juggle that many balls, without getting egg on my face (to mix the metaphors a bit). Nor do I want to 'be the carrier' - I thought the point of the question was to offer some ideas on what we'd do if we were in...

What I think is being "civil" and "polite" doesn't include tossing veiled recriminations out there, ....and I seriously doubt that "they' know who they are, either. If and when you object to someone's words, or disagree, that's the time to speak up, IMO. General jabs at "those people" are just...

I don't happen to have your phone number, Col - but it's STILL the best offer I've had all day, lol:D (I think.....)
