The carrier we run for has a history of being slower Dec thru Apr. I can't think of a carrier that historically is not slower during that time period. Which is not to say that everybody that runs for them are slow. More drivers take off during that period of time, so if you are in the right...

With the fixed rate that the fed pays the contractor, Isn't it MUCH harder to come out on top when doing the 60/40 all you have to do is move to far off of the route or run your generator to long and I would think that your back to even. That's not a knock on the Fed Phil, it's just one of...

Is the only way to come out on top when your paying for the fuel @ the Fed is to beat the average MPG that they have it set at? I know you can do better with one that varies by customer, but how do you do better at the FED?

Actually it was the site owner. That thread was on the dumb*** side anyway.

If your signing on with Fed Ex I'm not sure that it would benefit you any to do the 60/40 because of the way they set up their FSC.

Well it seems that you have made good use of your first two posts.

Does anyone else feel that the new LED billboards are bright enough to constitute a safety hazard on the highways? Not if they are showing the football highlights.

Wolf said:i have learned better now......makes me wish we had to log in vans I'll just bet you do. If you really do, there is nothing stopping you from logging except your bills;)

Some might be missing a very important point, well two points all we sell is service. If you/they want more service you charge them for it. Second and equally as important, If you do something that your carrier has not authorized you to do and drop that crystal chandelier off the back of your...

Based on what one person is saying, I guess an extra stop or two would be okay, so long as it was on the way.

I thought you had a big C

Mines working, better check your settings.

Well Larry, if I interpreted what IRT said correctly he is able to determine which loads are profitable and which ones are not. I base this conclusion on his statement that he is able to run his (owners) truck on the forty percent that is loaded to the truck which included fuel, tolls, oil...

I agree, anything less or more would show a problem.

Staying out four months, if I was a fleet owner I'd pay that 500 miles deadhead for you. Larry that high horse your riding lately needs a rest. ;)

What company do you have trucks with?

BUT You will be splitting the income with a person not in the same household. Giant difference.

I don't think he was trying to compare the two, just asking how many more "Load opportunities" he could have. And you sure are right about being different PII allows people into there fleet because it's growing while at the same time The fed seems to be contracting. :)

Sounds like you might be a little quick on the trigger. First out on a decent board and your thinking about deadheading them 200 miles to another board? How many miles would you have to drive to make up the fuel and maintenance costs? If you were that nervous to get them moving use the tool that...

Cheri is in a straight truck.
