That certainly fits. That is the only place I remember seeing a People magazine except at the grocery checkout. Guess my dentist cancelled his Time subscription.

I don't know that a PM is necessary for your type of question. Mainly because there are numerous things to look at. What kind of straight, DH miles, total miles and the actual rate. One could run a lot of miles and yet still be broke. Gross numbers mean little unless you have numbers to...

I certainly understand your thinking but that is not how carriers really look at that relationship. They recruit drivers for ANY and ALL available trucks. Unless they are or feel they are loosing something, I doubt you will see any kind of change.

You are correct. That is why I said the carrier has no incentive to get involved. The bad news is that this will get worse before it gets better. High unemployment, shrinking driver and equipment pool will all contribute to it.

Wow....never would have guessed.

Haven't seen a Time magazine in years. I am surprised they are even still around. I wonder if anyone reads them short of their own writers?

Simply put, there is no incentive for the carrier to get involved. With less trucks becoming available to recruit, the carriers tolerate it to keep trucks in their fleets. I don't like it any more than another decent fleet owner as we sometimes are lumped together. Drivers have to...

Still comes down to spending cash and time to get it resolved if the site is drug into one of these messes. Who wants that when you don't need to? For EO itself, I see no upside.

One of those magical things that some say doesn't exist. Kinda like pixie dust through rose colored glasses.:D

I guess what I find odd is that Phil with a wife who claims to be an attorney, would even pose the question in the first place? I would think they would have already known the answer to this question. Then again, maybe they are ready to fill the golden pot for the "EO defense fund".

Certainly some truth to that. BTW...thanks for the plug Jeff!

You will need luck on that ROI. Probably almost frightening in some folks thoughts.

I don't do vans but if I did, it would only work with loading them myself with no carrier involvement. Even more so at that .80 a mile range. A run through the calculator shows a slow bleed of revenue verses the cost to operate. Or.......ROI............:eek: Some say that doesn't exit. The...

If it by chance could be the neutral safety switch, try starting it in neutral. That problem will also surface at the ignition test with a meter on it.

Put a meter on the starter connection and then at the ignition to ensure it isn't the ignition or a bad ground as the problem. If that is ok, pull the starter and bench test it and the solenoid. One or both could have an issue. A bad spring in the solenoid or a bad armature or brushes in the...

Fleet ownership is certainly not everyone's cup of tea. It use to be easy to buy numerous trucks and be profitable with little effort because the profit margins were considerably higher. It is a much different day now. If one is to make the jump, you better have a clue of what you are doing...

Probably more of a Lawrence question. You may be right in that you could name names in many different situations whether fleet owner complaints or repair complaints. The problem I see from past issues is that even though you may be right, there may be a financial and time burden to absorb in...

Based on that theory, I should have some incoming checks in the mail. :D

Now tell us all the fun you are really having:D

That is the value of a attorney. If dealing with different carriers, you would need separate contracts for each as the language between carrier leases will be different. If you used a generic one, it will likely have numerous conflicts in it.
