I feel this is confusing the issue ....... Why split it into 2? All I care about is my overall rate per mi. The carriers I work with don't pay FSC, so I never got fat on the FSC. Now that the FSC was pulled out from beneath most .... they need to pray for fuel to spike again? Saudi Arabia isn't...

Are you really telling me that you believe customers are paying less for freight because fuel prices have declined?

I ended last week with a 1,500 mi run from southern Cali to Houston - 1 pc - 1,000 lbs - .90 per mi. My carriers know how much I'll do a run for because I've drawn a solid line in the sand. One that I haven't budged from. What most owner/ops can't wrap their silly, feeble minds around is that...

Well, so much for the "secret" location ... Ever see Midnight Run with De Niro & Grodin .... lol

I saw this video when it was first posted, but something just dawned on me ..... My little Snapper lawnmower has an engine cut off switch that's activated when the blades are engaged & the weight is lifted off the seat. It's a safety feature. Basically if I'm cutting grass on a steep slope & my...

I'm not sold that this result is directly fuel related. What's the common factor between the top 5 companies on the chart in the following article? Maybe the Chrysler products just simply suck! Tesla’s Model 3 Is Already Shattering Expectations

BINGO!!!

I've often wondered about the Green Diesel tunes .... I've read the stuff on Sprinter-Source before, but was always curious how it would perform in the expediting environment. If you get it installed, please share your thoughts on it. Great video ...

IMHO ..... you are GROSSLY undervaluing yourself & the services you provide! Go reread J Mueller's post from earlier this week, you might not have made it to the bottom ... Owner Operators and drivers still need to be a Businessman first and a Driver second. This is especially true in today's...

Yep .... deja vu all over again!! :p Honey .. ? I'm more savory rather than sweet ... :cool:

My experience being limited to the # of vehicles I've observed on the road ....

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe #2 refers to XPO. From my experience that would be true. I think 350rocket was just trying to be coy .... I apparently don't have that filter.

Oh, geez! .... that sounds familiar .... I come here to escape the nagging comments from my better half .. Even if she is right most of the time ... :p

North Platte, NE ... nothing beats welcoming spring with some snow :eek::snowflake: ... I80 closed, grounded at the J ... blizzard conditions coming through ... 2 weeks ago back at the ranch I spruced up some mulch, fed the crape myrtles & the hydrangeas were budding I love the weather in the...

This looks so much better if you're loaded headed east ... ;)

Mobil oil: Napa Auto Parts has Mobil on sale every 3 months or so for $5.99 a qt. When it goes on sale, I simply stock up. Trans fluid: Shell distributor

Like I said in my earlier post .... Make a decision & don't look back. If that doesn't work .. make another decision. You need to have a very short memory out west & a good bit of patience. If I was in WA & got down to Cali, I wouldn't have gone back up unless it was a really sweet offer! But...

IMO this is fools gold logic.... Just think how much better things would be if that paycheck was $1,400 - $1,600. Last time I was down on the border, in Nov, I got a 2,000 mi run - 2 pallets - 1,500 lbs for .95 per mi ... The only difference between my experience & the example stated above is...

Nice! I think your best bet to get a load east is probably CA, but as long as you don't mind exploring the Great Northwest for a bit longer. SE Washington ..? How far south & um ... east?

My Sprinter doesn't recognize the difference between mile 1, 500, 1,000 or 2,000. Nor does it recognize the supposed regional differences ... TX, FL or CA .... it's all the same as OH, MN, WI, etc .... I simply don't agree with this logic. Another tactic to drive down rates.
