Moot is correct. I would also add that if you have qualified on the drivers reward program, that fee is waived. We currently have no drivers paying for it.

They have mentioned it in the past but I am not sure how much they pursued any of the issues. I would think this would have garnered more of their attention since it could possibly limit their memberships thus limiting some of their revenue. But, who knows? Not sure they have the resources for...

Have to agree with bluz. Bad idea.

With regards to vans I would have to agree. Other size vehicles I tend to look at differently. Quite a few (not all) are reliant upon those large carriers for their freight. When things slow down, the smaller carriers get hit first because there is no overflow. That is likely followed by a lot...

It's all good. We are the "deciders".:D

Seems to be more vans than anything else. We just loaded out of there with a hazmat load on a straight.

It would be worth attending just to have a better understanding of how carriers operate and especially those that have or are seeking to operate under their authority. Went to one in the past and learned quite a bit from it. Without knowing how much space Phil has to write, it hopefully can be...

That is correct

Just for clarification. The .05 is on all loads whether it is a liftgate load or not. Same with Hazmat or a team. Canada is a extra 130 to cross the border. DOD loads are a extra .30 per load. Probably have to call if you have a reefer. Several rates on those.

Delayed at this point.

Didn't really know either but figured they are there lurking somewhere. Sure enough. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28022805/ns/health-sexual_health/t/women-top-female-execs-rise-porn-biz/

I am sure someone will create a government study on it.

The report says 9.4 women watch porn. Whos to say? But you are right, people can see the same picture and see two different things.

No problem. Not trying to put a hammer on any specific carrier. Just going by what we have been able to actually verify. Like anything, the information can change.

Absolutely frightening.

Don't want to get too tall on the horse or 9.4 million women will get mad.:cool: http://familysafemedia.com/pornography_statistics.html#anchor6

Certainly agree. In todays world it is a tough gig to drive yourself and run a fleet at the same time.

Where are you?

I don't dispute that. I guess I am looking at it acrossed many trucks. Short of maybe Landstar (not really fleet friendly) most of the time to get to that number it seems you are adding axles, liftgates, reefers, and other expenses that I prefer not to mess with.

Rates depend on what qualifications someone has and whether they are on a flat rate. The low end I believe is 1.20 and the high end is 1.35. plus fsc. for loaded miles. Reefers are 1.55 to 1.75 I believe. At the end of the day, I look at it like a business. No plans on moving because I don't...
