I'm home from dec 23rd til jan 3rd,and have had many high paying loads offered at that time,even though I was out of service

I also say great post terry

Since the feds took the radar detectors out of our trucks,my tires have lasted longer,my brakes longer,and I have less tickets,I'm not saying I drive much slower. That detector may be permitted in Michigan,I wouldn't suggest going in scale with it on your dash,you may be in for a shock. and...

I'm not sure how your having trouble with kennedy,but ive done many loads in and out of there,unless I had time on my hands and went out of way for one thing or another,in all my years at fed ex cc ive never had any load,especially out of KSC that was 50 miles off,and if it were,it is no problem...

I've not been in this business for to long,maybe 22 years. It looks to me that trying to make a profitt for some of you would give me an ulcer. For those that have a minimum for what a load pays, before they take it,are missing alot,for example:discount load 300 loaded miles,with dead head of...

87cpm in a d truck seems high to me,even if you were running team,either lower expenses or in increase mileage

good luck on the paperless logs,that 500 ft move,well anything less than 1/4 hour you dont have to show,but if you would wake up and want to go to breakfast,you better walk,cause the qc will start your 14 hour clock also i can see where the 14 hour rule will really cause problems,even with teams...

if i just read right,your solo driver,out of laredo,running solo,and your only truck company has,you better get out of there. very few loads from laredo to dallas,and bigggest majority of laredo loads are long and straight thru,not what a solo driver can do in expediting if it were me,i'd take...

only advantage of paying cash for the truck,is with no payment,you can really pick and choose your loads

Wombat I've been with fed ex cc for a long long time,I guarantee you it's not who you know,it's being in the right place at the right time.You can be in an express center that moves short freight,or you can go on your own, and be in one that moves more long freight, you cant just take your...

As long as our government knows that most truck drivers don't vote,then there will be nothing we can do to make our industry better. We actually aren't any better now than we were in the 70's,in fact our last strike,in 1981,what we get? 48' trailers,80000 lbs that pays the same as the old 73280...

I've been in caves in a city outside of Pittsburgh,plenty tite,but we made it. Was actually an old salt mine,hauled snow mobles to seattle

RE: fedex cc owners or drivers need a question ans yes,if your at FED EX C C, you could get over 40% dead head ,especially when you count dh to lay over and dh to pick up,thats why we all balked at loosing the old surcharge.It was then easier to loose those miles,but, even with that empty...

he did say tandem axles

dave, i depreciate in 3 years, and trade in three,before you have truck problems

why pay out your 170k,use uncle sams money,put minimal down payment,depreciation and interest are write off,keep your money. also,coronado has 132" from bumper to back of cab,thats 11 ft.,now 20 ft box,that adds up to 31',so all thats left for sleeper is 9 ft,and that is if you put reefer under...

RE: fedex cc owners or drivers need a question ans In case you weren't told, most of expedited freight averages under 500 loaded miles,and you could have that many empty miles to get layed over. All the carriers have their discounted loads,it's not just fedexcc. Main reason teams are needed...

i know about the watkins reefers but they will not take the place of the cr units,not as far as expedited freight,at least this is my opinion

Not to knock OOIDA,I've been a member for years,and as many others,believed in them,until the new HOS,this 14 hour rule for teams,with 8 hrs off to stop the clock,doesn't even say you have to sleep the 8 hrs,you could be playing video games,but as a team in the expedite business,the new HOS...

If you want to get your own truck,there are some owners that will do a lease purchase in the expedite business. To survive in this business,you would need to run team,as 95% of our freight is straight thru delivery,and the HOS rule would not permit you to make enough money to pay the...
