    That extra forehead is from a incorrect camera angle:D Dave, how do you deal with all the people that approach you and want you to buy their trucks We get PM's and emails several times a week with folks that want to get out from under a vehicle. 9 out of 10 are a situation of distress for...

    There are several, but the one we use the most is NTTS Breakdown There is also www.truckdown.com If it is a truck under warranty, then use the manufacturer directory.

    As far as I know, Terry and Rene will be there. Thanks Leo. Probably could have went another page, but it would have been drowsy.

    Fleet owner observation

    To be fair, many companies don't allow, or are difficult to work with with regards to obtaining your own freight. But even with that aside, it still requires that dedication to task.

    60/40?/fair?

    That is a good point. It is actually one (but not limited to) the reason we stopped using them. If the one truck owner operator is using them and finds a benefit, all well and good. From a fleet owners prospective, the liabilities outweigh the gains.

    I would say your right. There isn't much credibility in trashing someone when one doesn't have the "blank" to provide their own name.

    Fleet owner observation

    I hope so. Recent posts lead me to believe that some are looking through a very narrow glass. I did a post like this several years ago, but it seemed like it needed to be addressed again. Again, my apologies for the length. It is a difficult item to address in a handful of lines.

    Fleet owner observation

    After reading several posts, their seems to be some misunderstanding of what a fleet owner actually does. Just as there are poor fleet owners, there are poor drivers. Will try to keep the post from turning into a 5000 word essay. Probably alittle overdue based on some recent posts. We do...

    Drivers Pay

    There is no mandatory fuel surcharge law. Many carriers only pay a portion. I do believe they should, but that is another post.

    apparently 1st amendment rights don't apply here...especially when the truth is involved Who is to say it is the truth? No one knows. What was posted was nothing more than hearsay from one source with no substantiation of the facts. This site is not for that purpose as another member...

    Sleeping in a Dump

    I would say 80 or 90k in a van really isn't that bad based on the numbers that others report. I can't compare as we don't do any vans. At 400,000 gross I would think you would be ok, but as they say, "it isn't what you make, its what you have left".

    Sleeping in a Dump

    Pretty much the same on anything that has been ran 5 years with 700,000 on it. Maybe the weight of the metal at a recycling plant.

    Could be in some folks case, that why a few of those folks say it doesn't exist.

    What is Cheap Freight, Really?

    Yep...those "cheap" loads that some refuse to run can be the gravy train for others if they know what to do with them. And your right.....the bank doesn't discriminate.

    Sleeping in a Dump

    Sleeping in a dump? Is this related to ROI (return on investment)?
