After going LLC this year we found out that we in fact still may have been doing some things wrong. Owners that lease their trucks to teams and pay the fuel you really are doing it wrong. Most owners lease the trucks with load locks, straps, pallet jack, GPS, TV, Refrig, Microwave, CB, Inverter...

Worked in the Rent to Own business in the day time and Domino's Pizza at night. Back then you had to get the pizza to the customer within 30 mins or it was free. The cost of the pizza was higher to off set the ones that was free. Most of the time we had 20 mins to get it to the customers house...

Why would they put a TV in the room in the 1st place?

Greg I think you just like giving Phil a hard time. But on this one Phil is right, why should Phil take a pallet away where he is going to have to pay to get rid of it. I would have done the same thing. If I wanted to haul trash around I would have got in the trash business and bought a trash...

Phil When I did go to Canada I would use Pars going in and Paps coming out. The best way to do customs paperwork is do it yourself. I found that if you do it before you leave the shipper then fax it to the customs broker with a note saying what time you will be crossing with your cell phone...

Sorry Dave but this post seems like a "toot your own horn" post. I'm sorry but I have to tell it like I see it. DaveKc, Ateam, Greg, Cheri, Leo, Dreamer, RichM, Terrryandrene, Ragman, Moot, Turtle, Geo, Teamcaffee, and many more have posted things on EO that has help many people over the years...

Well, who is it?

Scuba I thought the same thing. They only charged you one time. Look at the blance brother. We did the math and it's only one charge.

We went LLC verse Inc or S corp. Here is something that will help others on which way to go. Determining the type of legal structure for a new business can be daunting for entrepreneurs and small business owners. Corporations and limited liability companies (“LLCs”) are preferred business...

OVM (Ken) is right on this one. Our trucks would fuel at TA only but since the fuel discount isn't what is once was at the TA. Our drivers are using Flying J more. TA, Pilot flying J, and Loves knows that there isn't many other place to fuel at.

I was wanting to know if anyone is looking into helping their trucks fuel mileage with a Hydrogen kit for their truck? I seen a few on youtube that claim that they have increased the MPG 50% or more. So if your D unit gets 8 mpg , then 12 mpg would a cost saver.

Jan 7th we had all of our trucks turned down to 65 mph. So I agree with you on turning trucks down. It would be nice if the left lane was just for trucks. But that would never happen.

Dale Pookie just don't get it, made me think of Pookie from the movie New Jack City. YouTube - How much for one rib

I would agree 100% with Davekc on that. When I started in this business there was Roberts Express, TNT Olex, CTX, Pronto, Tri-state, and Landstar. Panther was around but I didn't know it.

That sounds like the start of a new Thread Jaminjim.

Naw, we all take pride in the carrier we are lease on with. We have our 10 trucks leased on with Panther. Panther has been very good to us and we love it. Things can get stressful at any carrier. I loved my time with FedEx Custom Critical too. Have people there that I still think of as friends...

Bill a total of two skids at 1600lbs.

There are some that care. Bob and Linda Caffee, and Ateam and his wife are people that share the same thoughts on this I hope.

Dave it has been fun. Thank God it's not a Panther Driver. Not a knock at FedEx Custom Critical. I would to love to listen to all the phone calls made to FedEx on this one. This has to be one of the best threads to get a chuckle out of.

You just have to look at things from a business stand point. It's business nothing personal.
