    Hino trucks..Panther said to get a Freightliner instead

    I know they get a bad rap, but mine has been okay. I have had plenty of problems with the Freighliner M2's at the last company I was with Hino's are pretty weak up hills, that is my one complaint

    Expedite straight truck pay question min/max

    Before expenses it might be possible. I'm lucky to net 1000 a month right now:eek Honestly, I was making more working for a local courier making $10.00 an hour. I don't even keep track of my hours now. I just don't want to know:(. I am looking towards the future when the economy recovers...

    Expedite straight truck pay question min/max

    I would guess very few solo's are making 100k and if they are that is gross before all expenses It does seem to be picking up but most of us are still struggling to survive

    let me know what you think? am I being screwed?

    Well, $1.10 for a straight truck isn't the worst pay, but it's not the best either. Kinda middle of the road. FSC(fuel surcharge) will really help you out with the rising fuel costs

    let me know what you think? am I being screwed?

    Most companies advertise "no forced dispatch" This means that you don't have to accept what they are offering you. If you have to take whatever they call you on then you have forced dispatch. It depends on what you were told by your recruiter and what is in your contract. As I said before...
