No not really. Too many variables.

As Greg mentioned, I have seen these at a couple truck load sites. I think Phil put that out there just for a realization as to what it might cost in the decision making process. Hard to see any other issues in it other than that considering all the variables. We don't use charts but use a...

Happy Birthday!

Not sure about that, but my take on posts relating to the current madness of some. Never hurts to look at it from both sides. If I had my way, every driver should spend a week booking loads while the dispatchers spends a week driving on the road. No cheating with hotels. So much could be...

I think every freight index I have looked at shows a decline in overall volume. Still some good freight out there but it takes longer to find it. Probably an issue at all carriers. I believe that is why John is experiencing more turn downs. It can be a vicious wheel for a carrier. When it...

One really needs a list of items to accurately look at something. Just using gross figures can be misleading. I've seen trucks easily run in the 200k plus per year and went broke. Same with just using net numbers. Many factors will determine that number.

Good luck you guys on the new gig. I couldn't and still don't know how one could last on doing dollar loads consistently. Just agony spread over a longer period of time. What I would find as disappointing is not sending you home long before rotting for 10 days in SC. Have to wonder how that...

What happen to your dollar gig? That was a pretty quick change.

That fuel pressure does sound low. As for filters, one is on the side of the engine and the other should be along the frame on the drivers side of the engine. It may have a cover or glass bowl if it is a aftermarket Raycor. Should be another on there somewhere. If unable to locate, take the...

That engine should have three filters. Two for fuel and one for oil. Some marine engines have a third fuel filter for algae removal. That engine has two speed sensors but should run even with one down. Usually will throw a check engine light. Do you have a check engine light on? If not, you...

I am really not sold on any of them.

Ron Paul as a third party candidate would only help Obama keep his job.

Could be a tire or just a alignment issue. If the whole truck shakes, could be that the back end is out of alignment. If it is just the steering wheel, it is the front end. If all else fails, go to a dealer that has a vis-check machine. They put probes all over the truck and run it. It picks...

Who knows if Cain is guilty or not. But one thing for sure, the minute you have Gloria Allred in the picture, it is pretty much a carnival. Last year she even had that Mexican maid deported while she was trying to throw Meg Whitman under the bus. She is kinda the cross between a publicity...

Might just be one of those Occupy Wall Streeters looking for a gig. :D

I will make it simple. Bolt is the only carrier I have heard of that is charging this. This isn't cargo insurance. Cargo insurance is seperate and most, but not all carriers cover this as well.

Yes. It is paid for by the carrier, but does have limitations.

Makes sense to me.

Isn't that what they are doing if they are charging these fees even though they can't find a load in a week? Their profit center appears to be from others sources other than freight.

I really can't volunteer any information on Try Hours other than what you can read here. My advice would be to research ALL potential carriers regardless of who they are. There are carriers that will hire you as a solo while your wife gets her CDL. If you are sold on Try Hours, have their...
