    Companies that pay a % of line haul

    Mine does, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Although I know carriers are in this business to make money, I often wonder how many that pay per mile to their o/o's actually make more than their o/o's make on a load, while at the same time, cry poor mouth, while charging their o/o's...

    Still in Waddy, Ky, really surprised I didn't get out yesterday, being #1.....but, it is better than being #7 down here! I am really hoping Jeremy or Brandon come through today! But, if not, there is always laundry to do, and bills to pay, and shopping that needs done...

    To tell ya the truth, I am really surprised I am still sitting, even though it has been less than 2 days. I was hoping as well as needing a couple more runs this week to keep my plan on track. Not even a nibble. But, however, I did receive a phone call reminding me to use the new number...

    Had a good run last night, with an immediate pickup at the consignee for a smaller load....Dispatch did a good job! IT was the first run without a cigarette, or so I thought...The pressure was unbearable, ended up having one on the way down, and one on the way up, I was, and am, so ****ed at...

    Last night was tough, for some reason, I almost gave in, but I managed. I got so mad, and still am, in a way, that I let something like this have such a hold on me..What I worry about is when I drive.....For me, that is when I smoked the most frequently. 28 hours so far.... Afghan, huh? A new...

    Hey, look at it this way, I may irritate people, but at least I'm not the kind to cook for dispatch, and bring goodies for them, and then on the same hand whine and complain about them because I've only had a 4,000 loaded mile week and am sitting for 20 hours waiting for a load. LMBO...

    Generators Anyone using a portable power unit?

    I didn't realize that. My mistake.So, it would be a win-win situation for the van owner to invest in one.A warm and cozy driver is a happy driver! And driver retention would make a happy and profitable fleet owner!
