Absolutely:D

There needs to be uniformity in what is being inforced by each state. All to often many rules/regulations change or there are numerous intrepretations of the same law depending on the officers motives. Some are safety minded and some are revenue collectors. One can do all they can to ensure...

Oh maybe mentioned a thousand times before. I actually need to make a stamp.:D

I do agree that many fleet owners operated on a thin line only to go under when the economy tanked. And there was quite a few. There isn't alot of discussion on strictly administration because of all the variables. Carriers all operate much differently so what would be applicable at one...

Having a attorney in the truck isn't realistic for most. What is realistic is the ability to obtain one when necessary. We have several in the family, but again, that isn't realistic for most. One should shop for one ahead of time and have one available should the need arise. This usually...

It will be back. Just different language essentially meaning the same thing.

Good article and reminders.

Ummm??? I think I would agree that should be a component in the percentage they pull from every load unless of of course they pay 85 percent or better of the total revenue. Kinda falls into that "Standardized Fuel Surcharge" category. Code words "you aren't going to get 100 percent of it"...

Is this just a fee when one first starts out or is it a reoccurring annual charge?

Information on it is bill S3483

The driver may be entitled to be paid, but it won't be through the acts of recovery you mentioned. If a broker failed to pay the carrier, then of course the carrier would go after that broker in which they had contracted to do the load. That is partially why they raised the bond on brokers...

I am sorry, but your chances of that being successful are slim and none. Why? Because a lease operator doesn't have any Federal Operating Authority where the carrier in which he is leased does. The shipper has no obligation to pay you anything and would refer your request back to the carrier...

You are so correct on the Congress. I am still tapping my fingers waiting.

You did better than I would have done. I was going for the laziness factor and was going to throw the Fed in there for the small package FSC explanation. FedEx Service Guide - Our Services - Fuel Surcharge Thanks for the cover:D

Works for me!:D

I think you might want to investigate the ins and outs of how FSC's are calculated. It is not as you describe in your post.

I know what you mean. I am still waiting for the majority of Muslims to Correctly identify who the majority of terrorist are.

Not just another terrorist, but another Muslim terrorist.

I can't remember where I read it, but I think that is the way the points are activated. Not whether a inspection is performed.

That may or may not be a component for a particular sales department, but I have never seen that language or anything remotely close it in any carrier or broker deals. It is not uncommon for the shipper to show the driver what they are being invoiced. And in our case, if I am booking the load, I...
