I would say it depends on how the carrier operates. Your description of what would happen is exactly what I posted many months ago. Several cheerleaders complained because I wasn't with your carrier. Still don't think one would have to be in order to see a motive. But that aside, I don't believe...

I'm gonna get that wabbit:D

Based on that I would say you were done quite some time ago.

I'm always a optimist. Gotta go back farther on this one and start on the calender

In one post you say you have been there eight days. In this one you say "Since Thursday"? With today being Saturday, that is three days. If you can't figure how long you have been there, you very well may be there in June.

I believe Scuba has it right. The only issue I heard awhile back is some van drivers would do a mini, DH home and go out of service, then call and request their first out be reinstated when they came back in Monday. That might be where the confusion came in.

I think (or hope) that it does bring some better service back to some brands. We stopped buying a certain brand because of poor service. Hopefully the days of getting a simple service proceedure that takes a week will be a thing of the past. I don't think we are quite there yet. As far as...

What does "We don't own the truck and don't pay the fuel" have to do with anything? My thought is one you likely won't like. If you have been there that period of time, you likely were deep in the board. I could understand someone at the top of the board giving it a day or so. With you at 8...

That is why you buy health insurance policy. Hopefully your wife was smart enough to have one since she left you in the dark on things.

Maybe a stupid question? Does one leave these on permanently, or are they removable say in the summer? Or....if you had to replace a windshield, are they transferable to another piece of glass?

Hard to comment without seeing the receipts to your load. Here is what I see based on your info. 1. A load was sent you with your rate and FSC, 2. The load didn't have enough revenue and a flat rate for the whole load was negotiated. 3. If the above is correct, then when a flat rate is...

When I have requested a copy of a bill it was presented. IF.....it is a flat rate load, that is what it is..........flat rate. That means it is one rate for everything counting the FSC. If one thinks they are getting shorted, a simple fix. Go to their flat rate fuel surcharge program. No...

Hope he has two of those on. If not, I believe his truck is already lost if those are being ran with any frequency.

I think in those situations I would pay. No different than a truck getting tagged in LA or NY. Just goes in the sheet happens column.

Auxiliary Power in KS is their "US warehouse" They will likely stock things for a while.

Haven't developed a rate for going back in time:D

Sign of the times I quess. Kind of a bummer since I have two of these. I have a junk one in the barn I may have to save for parts.:mad: Hope they at least have somewhat of a parts availability. Truckgen went out of business and there are a couple more I believe that are right behind them.

Always a pleasure having you around. Still need to hang out whether driving or not. Good luck on the new gig.

Interesting point, if $3.00 was the norm, what happened? My opinion, the professionalism in this industry has deteriorated to the point that we're no better than any other LTL company. Expedited used to be the elite special handling, ASAP delivery, professional shipping method. It seems latewly...

I think it is a market issue more so than a carrier one. $3.00 a mile use to be the norm quite some time ago. Only in rare instances do you see it now for your type of truck. That rate is a far cry from what I would consider an average on those trucks today. But that aside, you validate some of...
