you all know that the fuel you buy has additive in it,thats why your fuel mileage drops in the winter time,and if your worried about gelling,just add #1 fuel to your #2 or put #1 in altogether.

Well watch for big upset in Fiesta bowl,OSU over Texas 31 28

Im running a 2004 freightliner coronado,500 detroit 3.70 gears and a smart shift 10 speed,computer shows life time average of 6.88 mpg,thats for almost 700000 miles.Granted the squared off trucks with the long hoods dont get the best fuel mileage,but the aero dynamic trycks if they have a sun...

I feel the same way,less than 75 is more important now,but if your to far out to make pick up on time,you wont be sent the opportunity anyway

Averages are very difficult to compare.Each and every person on here, no matter where they are leased,have a different game plan to how they do business.Some never turn a load down,others wait for that special load,and have much more time sitting.As was stated,if you talk with a recruiter,you...

Before the electronic engines,I havce used Power Service,And few of the other anti gels,I even used Howes til I had a truck gel up,and they sent me three bad checks for the towing.They also now state you must use their product year round to get the guarantee.Now for you non believers,since I...

Paid 1.89 for diesel Ashland Va.TA,of course thats the fed discount,pump price was 2.43/gallon for cash

From the words of OOIDA,if in your contract it states that you get 100% of your fsc then you have to get it,but if there isnt anything in your contract about fsc,the company your leased to doesnt have to pay you anything for fsc

What I am saying,when I accept the load,incase the layover might not be to my satisfaction,the load paid me enough to go where I want,not planning,but incase they do send me where I had hoped,the extra money for the dead head move is gravy.I have done relocation moves,but they have been few and...

I'm not talking about a relocation,I'm saying my layover plan is already in motion by myself as soon as I see where the load I'm accepting is going.Most times where I want to layover is the same place planning has for me,but,as my layover acceptance is only 70%,you see,I'm my own planner,and is...

Nothing can compare to Texas BBQ,but when runninng I 10 in Louisiana,at the 115 mm Breaux Bridge is the town,There are three resturants that serve great cajun dishes,but the one that I feel is the best is Crawfish Town.When you leave the exit,going north,its about a mile on the right.Plenty room...

Its plain and simple,when I'm offered a load.I know where its picking up,where its going,and this is the most important,I know where I am going to layover.Oh, by the way,before I accept this load,it will pay enough to do all the above,including going to the layover.If milege to layover is...

Gary,Let me try and explain the unconfirmed delivery.Most of the loads that are unconfirmed are third party loads.FDCC is contacted by or maybe they have taken the load off the internet.In either case,the pick up and delivery times are computer generated.These times aren't set by the...

It was in the late 1980's a friend of mine at Roberts Express,who now has his trucks at the cats,once said to me,with all the competition,the 4 and 5000 dollar weeks are going to be lower for all of us. It did happen for some,but most of us still maintained the same income,we just had to run...

you ever been to a rock concert,women waiting in line to get in t he mens room,'cause the line is to long for them to get in the ladies room,guys dont even try and get in the ladies line,might find yourself thrown out

OVM,myself, I've also been offered loads paying as your friends have told you.The pay was not cheap until the long dead head to pick up was figured in.and this is probably why the loads were cheap to your friends also.Its hard to dead head farther than the load is going and still maintain that...

gary,you have to much time on your hands

OVM,when the loads are split between 2 straight trucks,I'm not sure what each truck is offered for revenue,but I do know,only trucks that feel they will be able to make a profit on that load will accept it.FDCC will not give each truck a lower than normal rate to get it hauled.The only rates...
