Ever see a group of migrant workers traveling after harvest?

What a refreshing thread. A lot of folks happy with their carrier. "who woulda thunk" Nice to see something genuine without alot of fluff and cheerleading bs. I think some carriers (they know who they are) could take a page or two out of John's play book to improve their relations with drivers.

What a total fool for running at those speeds. I hope your own family isn't out there and encounters someone with your thinking. I am assuming this is a BS post. As for $200 dollar loads on UShip, that likely will get a load picked up. Once again, only the fool would think it would actually...

Info on winners is on the drivers web.

Not until I know whether I get a t-shirt, button, and a bumper sticker.:D

I am beginning to think we got our free engine (blown turbo warranty) in the nick of time.

Looks like a dressed up traffic cone.

Does make you wonder.

This was posted before on another site, but here is the yahoo version. People read too much into stuff. He is donating his portion. Representatives say Glenn Beck to donate fee - Yahoo! News

If just looking for a industry average for a leased truck to a carrier, I would probably say 1.20 plus FSC. By average, some run below that and some run above it. If you are at 1.07 per mile, I personally would consider that quite low.

I am with Turtle. Go for the app.

I am beginning to sound like a broken record. Have this fleet owner supply you with current and past references followed with the financials of how the truck is really doing. Panther supplies those to the fleet owner. If he/she doesn't have them or the references, it quickly becomes "buyer...

Correct. If you have a third party handling subjective financial transactions, the dimensions change quite a bit verses a fixed cost item like insurance or satellite costs.

Possibly, but that puts in the carrier involvement which is a cost the carrier now has. Carriers have to pay someone to administrate it. Not sure many would sign on. Also could see some legal problems if a dispute came up.

Cheri hit the nail on the head. Exposure comes with a cost for any business. If the financial payroll end is administrated to the driver via the carrier, then the truck owner would have to have a appropriate escrow or a reduction in pay to the driver to subsidize that operating expense. I...

Probably going to have to provide more information. A sluggish engine could mean all kinds of things.

It will still be a expanded Amtrak. If they can't get that right, why on earth would one want to invest more money in a totally mismanaged adventure that is the same thing? Gee maybe we should pump billions in the postal service to expand the electrical grid. :rolleyes:

Just think Amtrak and you already know the success of this goofy plan.

If you have no expectations to return with any frequency, you can do as well as anyone.

I would agree with the others. I would really learn and understand this specific segment of the transportation industry before making any kind of investment in it. It is not the same as the state wide courier business. EO is a great resource to gain some of that necessary knowledge. Good...
