Bottom line,my tractor runs me $1.53 every mile I run,thats all expenses,including driver,and myself.My fuel alone is about 60 cpm.

oops my bad,sorry.I took it as a negative reply

ok so as i read about the fuel savers,there is no magical fix.if you want to save fuel,drive like there is an egg under your gas pedal,no jack rabit starts and SLOW DOWN,you wont be late,just keep your left door shut.My fuel mileage has jumped,im back to over 7 mpg,two things,not useing the 1500...

Dont know where your comming from Dave.My fsc is as FECC as posted,turning the fuel cost to 1.20 per gallon.If they get more than this thats ok too,as im getting the fsc for every dispatched mile,not as before on only loaded miles.The only broker loads ive had was an nlm that was taking me...

Bottom line is 100% of nothing is still nothing.At FECC we get 60%,and there is a formula to know what the customer is being charged,if a trailer is owned by the owner opp,then this rate is higher.reefer trailer even higher.When all said and done,if you feel the load will be good for you,then...

I had a couple loads this week that had the actual revenue on the paperwork,including the fsc.In both loads,my percentage was as it should have been,but what really surprized me was the fsc. Just figuring the loaded miles,my fsc was more than the customer paid fecc,plus i received fsc for all my...

Ive just done 4 gov loads in the past 2 weeks,not once was i asked for my ss#,4 weeks ago did a rad load,no ss# there either.Ive been doing nuke and government loads for many years,have never ever been asked for ss#.Drivers lisc,and sometimes the fed id card but thats it.Dispatch would never...

kevin,the concept is to work less and make more.If most of us wanted to run our butts off,we could all be like you and give up the expedite business,and go with a truck load carrier.We all see the ads everyday,advertising drivers making 60k per year,At 40 cpm thats 3000 miles a week for 50 weeks...

depends where in texas you were,dallas is 460 miles to memphis,not wise for just a 677 mile move

it was a flatbed radioactive move,back in the early 80's there werent many qualified to do these kind of moves for Roberts Express

tell your brother to contact schneider,they have good training,you must stay a year to get it for free

bet you sit alot

i have found very few motels that dont take the card,but some of them want one for each driver,we only have one card,we dont use it.I have also found some motels that it was actually cheaper not to use the card,cause after the 4.95 that clc charges,the truckers rate was cheaper.it was stated...

when I got into this,the aveerage load went about 350 miles,and you had to run 150 miles to pick it up..O V M,i once had a driver call me for a job,he said to me all the things you just posted,and i said to him you cant work for me

give me the higher paying short runs,i use less of that high priced fuel,and my money per mile is much better.Why run 2500 miles for 5000 dollars when you can run 2000 miles for 6000 bucks

ok we know about the hot fuel,but do you know hot fuel doesnt burn as well as the colder fuel.I'd like to find a way to cool my fuel in the summer,so i would get a better burn.the hot fuel causes the ctane rating to go down.Back to the hot fuel,in my truck i have a read out that tells me how...

go get your cdl,the larger trucking companies will teach you,you just need to stay there for 1 year so they dont charge you,in that year you will get experience,and be able to change or do what ever you need to do next.there are many guys running for these companies doing 60k a year,just depends...
