I certainly understand the dealers being angry. But, it seems they are getting some type of compensation. The ones that otta be angry are the ones that just plunked down a 100K or better for equipment.

Jes head on down to Beale Street and hang out. A neat way to spend a Sunday or weekend if you are forced to wait on things to happen.

Ya well, it's a question that looms large. Regardless, bought fuel at memphis, in today at $1.821 with our discount. So, a good ONE, or a couple DOGS, you should still be able to do very well in this biz. IF, of course, you UNDERSTAND everything you KNOW about it.

Ya I know. Party plann'in L take an hour or so, then he can get back to typ'in. I see the truck tipper is inbound. We'll prolly get smore good reading one of these days. Wonder whom he'll sign on with, seems fedex didn't buy that "I wuz only going 5mph roun that corner, an it jes tipped...

Nah. Prolly just give him a "gotta go" load to bfe to get him outa their hair.

yep. enlightining to say the least for many. guess our fact finder went into extra innings, so no report today. Lets wait him out tho. Jes like things not being like they "should", wuz lookin at ford stock the other day at $1.47. what a travesty. so.. i stopped down and opened a roth that...

There you go Bruno, give us a report after your "fact finding" trip. Many state the facts (as they know them) and facts are generally related to exposure to actual workings of the world. Makes little difference what you may "call" me, as long as it is not late for lunch. Three years and a...

Oh Leo, yer spreading it again. There is a site. Believe tho, the fella is a bit confused about whom can access the site, and benefit from it. He's been listening (kinda) to some Truck Stop sessions.

Seems yer daddy in law would be a good place to start then. If he is going to be your mentor in this business and you follow his MO, and he runs single, jes add bout 25% to what he does and you should be real close. Problem is, then you hafta divide it by two.

A real good question there Joe. Unanswerable. But good. First off, if you are worrying about a week, i'd say your goals seem to be a bit "short term". Better do a business plan for 8 - 12 months out based on your Carrier of choice recent average for your equipment and staffing levels. After...

They be gett'in old there Jack. you know, replace your horse? I be riding one to Hawaii here pretty soon, hope I get an "experienced" one tho. Never been to wild about the new shiny anything.

Actually, ONE thirty footer HAS solved that problem in the past. No need to complicate the simple. Jes a matter of what attitude you are look'in at it from. And, i'm sure y'all are genuinely concerned if the "customer" is charged more, and, equally concerned if the Carrier has to pay "too"...

Jes way mo bettah da other way.

That is refreshing Chef. There are many more "goals" than simply running hard for a couple days and going home, or, running to buy that next great toy, or running for....... that next material thing. Many jes don't tink of it as a career. It has to be instant in their mind. Having typed...

An why, ya spose some struggle thru, and others drop out?? Let us read the sob stories.

Yep! Reads pretty "one-sided" to me there aristotle. Seems the prevailing attitude tho.

Sure that couple days extra expereince helps us ovm. A good load or two extra a month (that are hidden in the fog) make it a excellent month instead of an mediocre month. My point simply wuz, that the "line burners" diminish their opportunitys each minute of time they use of the dispatchers...

Chef, i had anticipated you were getting a fix on this business until your last post. The squeaky wheel WONT get any grease till the wheel greaser has grease to use. It's not IF it happens, but WHEN, if you are leased to someone, and have agendas such as min rate, direction, etc.

Yepper ovm!!! Bout like being a carrier.

You done good turttle!!! pj jes remember, in a lotta cases, it's contractor beware. An ALWAYS read da small print like ya did da turttles rant.
