I just wanted to ask a few things to the forum about rates. Lets start with cargo vans Your rate would be. Single van driver .80 PLM and .10 a mile for all okay deadhead miles and 100% of the FSC Team cargo van .85 PLM and .10 a mile for all okay deadhead miles and 100% of the FSC...

With over 100 locations across the USA. The company would have made more money in the long run if they didn't try to rape the driver of everything they had. Lets do the math, at a $1.00 an hour based on 75% of the parking spots having paid users. Most truck stops have a 125 spots. So if they...

The reason Idleaire has failed is because they priced themself out of business. If they would have kept the price at $1.25 or $1.00 an hour drivers would have used them more. Why would a driver use Idleaire at $3.00 a hour or $72.00 a day, when you can go get a hotel cheaper and have a nice hot...

Chris at ALtrux in Rittman, Ohio can get you the rubber boot your looking for. He got one for a 1997 FL 70 freightliner. The number to Altrux is 330-927-5201.I hope this helps.

I had mine in less than 7 days from when Sean K. ordered it. Very nice Jacket but the size's are small if you ask me. 5 XL is more like a 2 XL. I asked for a 5XL because I'm tall from the waist up and wanted it baggy

I got mine and it nice, but too small. Wife said loose some weight big boy.

7 days in West Memphis back in 1995 when I 1st started with Roberts Express. I was running solo. Sat number 1 as a C unit and number 1, one size down. Only Roberts Express vets know what I'm talking about.

The Dot has banned texting for all truck drivers. The fine can be $2750.00 if caught texting when driving. http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/01/26/trucks.texting.ban/?hpt=T2

No, Lawrence would never let me be a Moderator anyway. I just like the people on EO and want to help folks when I can. In the past I have said things on EO that I wish I hadn't. Sometimes people have to learn the hard way like I did, I know now when I should keep my BIG MOUTH SHUT.

Hey that would be up to Lawrence on the things that people shared. I'm a driver/fleet owner so I don't know. I don't think that things should be closed off to people see what is wrote.

How old is your truck? I can say that my C units at FedEx made great money their. They are on with Panther now and doing fine. Both are good places to work for. FedEx is more a team operation company. Every time one of our drivers runs solo at Panther they do pretty good, but we run teams 95% of...

I agree 100% Dave. It was just something that someone said was a pay cut for drivers. That was the reason for the post to be honest.

I have a customer that calls me for loads out of El paso, Tx. I set them up with Panther so I set a 647 mile van load up today going to Dallas,Tx. it was one skid at 173 lbs.

You are setting your self up to fail if you run 3 weeks out and one week off a month. I don't know any CEO's who take 12 weeks off a year. By doing it that way you are out of service 25% each month. You will always have one week out of the month you will not have a settlement that week.

After talking to a few of the drivers I deal with and asking them how they felt about this pay scale, I wanted to ask people in the forum. Would you work on a pay scale like this? It's based on your in service time and if the owner is paying the fuel and tolls. Each driver starts out at a...

Just because someone is gay that don't make them a bad person.

Now, now folks. I don't care if a driver is gay as long as they do the job that was asked of them. We had two women that was gay, they was the best team we have ever had. If they called me up and asked if we had a truck to drive, I would welcome them back anytime. They was in service over 85% of...

ohio is a border state, you may need a boat to cross over to Canada, but it's a border state if you think about it . lol

Yea your better off asking for some of the phone numbers of his drivers that drive for him now and the ones that did drive for him. I'm sure you can get the info your looking for from the drivers. Good luck
