Ok....you are still trying to be offended. Yawn.

If I had a truck there, it would have been a good grap with enough space to throw a couple more on.

Nothing to assume. It is clear by the way you post of what you don't know. Once again from JJ. "Stop trying so hard to be offended".

Swift was investigated this year in Memphis, TN and their school was shut down for a variety of infractions. That would be current enough for me.

I think he is looking at much of what goes on through a much wider lens. He does come across as brazen at times, but you likely or fail to comprehend what is read between the lines. When you jump out of driving a fleet owners truck and own or operate a fleet, you will likely understand where...

Exactly the reason I will only deal with a carrier where I can book my own freight. I have little patience for any type of game playing. Much easier to become their competition.

There you go. "Buy low and sell high".

I would have no intentions of lowering my expectations. Even more so in a down economy. As like past times, I do my heaviest investing in the worst of times. With regards to expediting, it is more of adapting to the current market and working it, verses a change in expectations.

Watch what they do, not what they say.

I think Phil's post is spot on. But I will also add, that many run for a fleet long term. Many times a fleet driver will net more than a owner operator. With that said, some of it depends on how the fleet is operated. In our case, all but one of the teams are former owner operators with the...

Sometimes it isn't the dollar amounts, but the actual transparency. Many carriers lose credibility when they claim they don't make money on something when they clearly do. It amazes me when some of them will lie, cheat, nickel and dime contractors, fail to disclose the simplest of things and...

Now that you mention it, there is a thought to ponder.

I know who has 5 of the others. :p

To answer this kind of question requires more information. For example, is the driver not satisfied with the miles, revenue, the carrier or everything? Good money in being a bed bugger or car hauler, but it takes a certain type of person to do it. That kind of thing. Have to know the...

Makes you wonder what will happen with the mandated recorders on the Mexican trucks coming in? Probably sue and win and we will be paying the Mexican carriers a ton of money because we hurt their feelings.

Yep. There is plenty doing it now. That is why I pay little attention to some of the goofy posts claiming a certain gross amount and nothing else. It means little unless you have all the information.

Only certain loads can really be "defined" as exclusive use. All others I consider "freight". Double loads strictly by Panther are not as common as the ones you can set up yourself.

ok....my carrier is better than yours.:p

There are many "versions" of cheap freight. I would be the first to admit that if the opportunity is there, I will double dip the system to move a truck at a high rate. I'll use the DT quote. "It isn't anything personal, its just business".

There will always be some banter in a public forum. Some are just plain bored, and others are trying to hard to be offended.
