I think they are just wanting to make small talk. I think the real question they have is if they touch the black cat on the truck, "does it meow?"

Unless you are deadheading all over the place, the 60/40 with the team getting the 60 percent, paying for fuel, and 100 percent of the fuel surcharge, will be ahead every single time. Only exception would be a truck that doesn't have a generator, or you are consistently running for under a back...

Ah yes. Still nice to sneek a afternoon nap in before hitting the trail.

That indeed makes quite a difference in how the information is perceived. Sometimes it is not necessarily the message, but the delivery.

C'mon Col. Need a little juice to keep the fan running under that shade tree.:D

Several interesting observations that we might not have seen a year or so ago.

We had two freeze ups this winter. Fuel was from TA's in IN and IL. The dealer we stopped at in WI to change filters have set up a seperate gig to get the froze trucks coming from IL. He said both states IN and IL cut too much bio into the fuel which waxes the filters. We have heated ones in...

Certainly makes a difference as to whether you are living in the box, or outside of it.

Just playing the devil's advocate, Why indicate paying a percentage at all with your theory? You are saying if a customer paid more, you may not necessarily deserve it. By what and who's measure? If you decide you don't deserve it, should you be paid based on your contractual percentage...

Read Greg's post. Many companies use a third party/inter-"company" to run freight through. It is used to drop the percentage to the truck legally. Unless one actually sees the bill to the original customer, the carrier can make it anything they want. There is always the argument that "if it...

It is sold through Peak Tools but they don't provide any service. Outside of the SC location, who would service these? Site doesn't list any locations.

This is one of those "the percentage works in your favor":rolleyes: If some only knew

Just a feeling, I figured that is/was who you were with. Them and Tstate have had the most radical changes with regards to rates. Good luck on your new gig whatever it may be.

How about the Autocars and Diamond Rios

Easy.............solo at the Fed.

Throw out bearing is correct. Replace the clutch in the process. Paid 380 on replacement for a Eaton at private shop at 60 per hour labor.

Bingo Gotta look at ALL the angles. But...they have cut their rates. As to whether they pass the appropriate percentage to the O/O is another question? Ask for a BOL with all tariffs listed. If they refuse, then you have your answer.

That outside the box may be expanding. Saw a expedite reefer load go out of Chicago for 80 CPM.:eek: Load went to NJ. A whooping $630 10 skids @ 11,400lbs Folks better hold off on those $150K reefer wagons.

Doesn't sound stolen. I believe he may be waiting awhile to get it.

Blog commentaries don't mean that much. What is accurate is the numbers in those charts. It was a quick place to grab them. There is a variety of non political resources to see the current economic problems in Japan. But, if you need it from the left...
