Col. Mine as well ask your question. 30 percent of what? And what do they or don't they pay for? And..........what are they driving. Could be some deal breakers in there for a lot of folks. 900 to 1500 may or may not be good. Depends on what you are doing against that number.

good question that I would have no answer to.

My only scare with that setup would be, sacrificing freight space, climbing in and out of the box, and concerns about freezing issues in the winter.

Probably won't like my answer, but the major complication here is someone trying to direct a truck that they aren't driving. A tough situation if you don't even have a handbook. If he has it, he should be handling these calls himself as he has the QC data right in front of him. Too much...

I think it would depend on the amount of room you have. May be better to buy a sleeper with it already included. To research, I would check some of the sleeper companies that do them. aa or aatrucksleeper.com does small ones. Also Bentz ARI ICT Double Eagle Might be a few more, but...

I would agree with Turtle. Always get it over the QC. Based on some of your recent questions, you would be well served to have a current drivers manual. Won't cover everything, but it will cover at least the majority of items. That will cut your call times down significantly. One thing for...

Much appreciated. All the mods do the best that they can. "Even ducking for cover from sniper fire":D Wait......thats Hillary's line.

I didn't lock the thread, but I did move it to another forum for review by other moderators to ensure we arrived at the same consensus. A third party interjected themselves into a dispute between two others that should have remained private. If several posts of a personal nature were removed...

A positive attitude is certainly a must in this business. There are a couple of members that have from time to time thought I was being too negative on a certain subject. Sometimes the line between something negative and what is actual reality can be soboring for some. With that said, I like...

I do notice that this strike talk is getting some national media attention. Seen it locally and just this morning on Fox News. The ATA is wanting Washington to open up the reserves, mandate speed limiters @ 62 mph, and set a national speed limit of 65. I would probably add to that a...

I don't think it would happen because too many are trying to undercut the other. Much of the Alliance freight is coming from 3PL's that require that bidding process.

I thought some of those posts looked oddly familiar.

I do think it is different to some extend with a tractor. Quite a few more opportunities. But, as this example shows, there are plenty of ways to keep moving. Running under your own authority is fine but be aware of the costs. Load insurance is a biggie for certain types of loads, and it isn't...

Oops....my bad. The two ads I thought that went together were from Forsyth GA. I thought they were one in the same. So that is two people exiting the Fed WG from there. The other ad that said "business problems" was from NJ. Another one that has sunk. I got the two ads crossed. Thanks for...

Based on these responses I have to wonder Phil if you may be talking to a much different crowd?

Makes sense. With regards to Panther, we can solicit or use any board we want to obtain freight. As well if one desired, you could go into a business and solicit them for your services. Steve is right with his situation in that the tractor business is alittle different because there are fewer...

I see your point. My personal standards wouldn't have me sleeping in a car, but "desperate people do desperate things". Expediting is actually pretty simular to real estate. They are both driven by supply and demand. With the weak real estate market, prices are dropping with the exception of...

I would agree that the carrier is very instrumental in ones success if they are totally reliant upon them for loads. Having the best business plan, equipment, or a host of other things doesn't always insure success at a specific carrier. I think with a struggling economy, we are starting to...

I find this post interesting in that their are opportunities even on the cheapest of load boards. The one in this post is Getloaded and the other looks to be internet truck stop. But, a short hop to Houston with the Laport load would get you 2.50 to 3.00 per mile. Just the one load is $500 by...

I would go to a Allison dealer like Stewart & Stevens.
