I think we are spoiled when I look at that list of costs.

brycey2010 wrote I would like to add to that if you dont mind, after having completed my first day in orientation. to add too and clarify your calculations, $900 escrow deducted $60 a week $50 a week for administrative charges total $200 $35 a week insurance (workmans comp) $20 a week...

Maybe they are just trying to get up there faster?

Rendezvous on Beale On a side note with your $20 gig, whether one moves a lot or doesn't isn't relavent.

Have to like the blues or barbecue if your going to do Memphis.

Can't say I would be sold, but I do see how it helps their cash flow.

Well.....after 75 responses, not one supports the idea that has been presented. One could write a book on why this is a bad deal. The folks here at EO aren't just the "party of no". It is how you are trying to do it that is the real issue. Putting ones house on the line for a depreciating...

If you are working internally, my advice would be to scrap a flat rate FSC IF you are making the claim you are paying 100 percent. My advice would also be to scrap a charge of $20 for a BOL that is 24 hours late. Understanding HOS applications to the driver will help in that decision...

May be. She was anchoring election coverage.

You may or may not make make 2 to 3k miles per week. What happens when the truck needs repairs or you don't have a team and the truck is sitting? Mileage is a factor but there is a whole plate full of other items that would determine profitability. As mentioned, I would drive for someone...

It seems to be either desperate people doing desperate things, or some that think there is a pot of gold in this with minimal effort. Money can be made, but there are many factors that get it to that point. I think some of it is just the economy. Restaurants are similar. Money to be made but...

The thinking of you "only have to have 800 miles a week" to break even is exactly why you want to run the other way.

With regards to Fox, I wonder if they allow it with commentators but not with the actual news people? Ok for Hannity or Beck, but not ok with say Megan Kelly. Don't know? No secret on who Hannity would send cash to.

I would drive one for that fleet owner so you can learn the business. Just finding and keeping a team with your limited experience will be a challenge in itself. They could easily as well, take advantage of you and you would be totally clueless as to what is going on. The carrier choice...

As I suggested, I would research this site and be advised that some are making money, but they aren't new people. I am giving you the reality. Many already have a paid for truck. The deck is stacked against you as well just being new. No offense, but many come in with that same thinking and...

Hope you are driving this thing yourself and even then? If not, I have a sailboat in the desert I would like to sell you that might be a better investment. There is a reason so many used ones are for sale. No one wants them. For that matter, no one wants a new one. That is why no dealers carry...

"We get no respect, no respect at all"......Rodney Dangerfield.:D

I think it is a little bit of a stretch to say getting out of the west coast is dependant on a reefer or lift gate. That may be the case with the Fed, but hardly applies anywhere else. We go out west pretty regularly with a dry van, and seldom give up more than a day or so at the most. We...

D & G has a nice ring to it.

Look at the bright side. It is cheaper for Americans that he is in India rather than here.
