"Market rates" are largely pathetic but just about everyone hauls for them. It gets asked of our office many times, why is this guy so much more???, and then it gets explained well that guy determines what he needs and that's how it is. That's an example of them thinking they are "reasonable"...

I'm a free agent. I can walk away from any deal I don't like and suffer zero consequences. My point was nothing to do with that. My point was even if you or I agree on what might be reasonable, they, meaning the ones not doing the actual work and paying for fuel/expenses, could really care...

Define reasonable? Yours, mine, customers', company managers/dispatchers', company executives' - who's reasonable here?

You must have the previous 8 days logs printed off or you'll get a ticket. I'm talking about laptop or smart phone logging programs here. EOBR trucks get a pass on this. Our company has been dinged on this a couple of times. A ticket that should never happen. There are guys who will say...

Services are exempt from sales tax but you're right 9.75% is steep. The highest in the nation I believe. I think on groceries it's only 5%. Regardless, I'll take it over a burdensome state income tax anytime.

Yeah, well I never see too many owners check kingpins. I check mine every time I grease them 3,500 miles. I also jack the axle up and get the wheel off the ground so the kingpins are hanging in a free state and get proper lube. They last much longer that way mine are originals with almost 1.2...

From Drudge a reason to NOT move to TN Tennessee: Obamacare will triple men's premiums, double women's | WashingtonExaminer.com

Funny how we're all quick to jump for things they did wrong haha!! long day had some time to kill... Truth be told the video is ok for what it is - just a quick rundown of things to inspect. Maybe an owner seeing it out there somewhere might not have ever thought or known to check and now they do.

Straights at FXCC turning a $1.90 on the hub, every mile, after fuel? Wow I need to sell my truck and get a class B! As far as deadhead is concerned, if you're charging rates accordingly those miles are paid for. I know to a T exactly how many deadhead miles I've turned daily, weekly...

T/A at exit 269 in Knoxville has "decent" BBQ - somebody with a smoker set up near the fuel island -they sell it out of the big truck fuel island desk, not the main store.. Petro in Gadsden, AL also has ok BBQ. Neither of these are what I think of as great BBQ but they're much better than...

How do you figure that?

He hopped in the truck test driving it, getting everything up to temp then pulls in the shop and checks air pressure..... Air pressure should always be checked and adjusted when the tires are cold - ambient temp. Park the truck overnight, don't move it an inch, and check the pressure the next...

Proper equipment check list for western states with chain laws - they're not on my cab card

X3 on the $300 wally world special. For the simple tasks of managing a truck, or several of them, more than enough comp for the job. Sent from my C811 4G using Tapatalk 2

What a wacky deal putting 24 in the chase... new restart rule is how it ought to be, no more subjective bs or playing favorites.

Been pulling for 39 ever since 14 was out. Would be nice to see him win after SHR ditched him but I'm sure chances are slim. He wasn't diplomatic at all at the race's end but it was the truth. If they could've consistently pit like they did at Indy the spinout wouldn't matter. Sent from my...
