It does take just a little know how and patience to find the right loads. There are plenty here at EO that do it. There are some that pay very well, and some that are a joke. Phil, One of your posts said you did three or four loads since the first of the month. Unless your running at three to...

Your best bet is to find the areas in which you would use them, and then develop a relationship with those companies and or brokers. A lot of those loads pay better than a leased carrier can provide. The ones that think they don't pay, know very little about how to go about it. Davekc...

RE: off topic It all comes down to "whether you see the glass half full, or half empty". As said before, if there is that perfect company, everyone would be there. I applaud Leo and the rest of the people on the council for their efforts. It isn't a easy task, but they are making progress...

Either way it wouldn't matter. It is all supply and demand. Too few trucks and the rates go up, too many and the rates drop. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

Glad to see your back. It appears he has been running the truck under the radar. Yes to your questions. Probably the reason the other guy might not be doing the job. Way to much liability in what you described. You made the right call in not driving for this guy. Good luck on the next gig...

I don't know that I would agree with that. We have had some great relationships with many drivers. Some are current members here on EO. In the future I quess it would be wise to ask if they have enough money to survive to their first paycheck? Traveling on just $100 seems more like bus fare...

Greg, That goes without saying. I threw the IRS audit issue into the mix because some disregard your comments and think they have no exposure. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

RE: off topic The purpose of the new system is to define where the freight is originating. It wouldn't be logical for them to determine whether they will haul a customers load based on whether there is a place to sit. There isn't a requirement to sit anywhere. Not sure where 23 trucks in...

The way the IRS have been cracking down on independent contractor status requirements, you will wish you had one in the event of a audit. It isn't a trust issue as much as it is a business issue. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

Depends on how big the chip is. If it is under a quarter size in diameter, then I would call a mobile glass repair shop as they come to you. Most insurance companies offer this coverage, but I would check your policy to be sure. Most damage is caused when moisture enters the damaged area and...

Great post Larry, and right to the point. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

That looks to be a bad day for the four wheeler. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

RE: It is certainly a complicated issue. Cost of living is rising against stagnant wages for many. I don't think it is because they bought a plasma tv or a computer. The margin on those items pale in comparison to other issues. The housing market has turned into a disaster because mortgage...

RE: how to make inputs Can't argue on the fact that they have too many trucks in the wrong areas. I hope that gets addressed with the new relocation system. Also agree on putting the brakes on with recruiting. Effectively move the trucks to the right location, and everyone wins. FYI......they...

I have an idea! All the van drivers stay home, let the straight trucks take all the freight. Then the truck drivers can give the van drivers 75% of their profits. Sorry... that wasn't my idea. It was Hillary's! ===================================== I wouldn't say that too loud. She may be...

"Quit trying so hard to be offended" ============================ Now that could apply a lot of places:7 Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

Might be too embarrassed? But I am slowly starting to see them show up on repo and auction lots. Might be some bargains for those that want to invest in mobile rental housing. Greg, Rental signs might be something to consider? Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

Maybe it is not time to make that investment in that super sleeper just yet? ==================================== Ummm??? You could always rent the space out. Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator

Should have moved Friday regardless of where you were at on the board. You are creating your own demise by sitting there. The other option is to spend $200 on a room. A run offer should follow within a few hours.:7 Davekc owner 23 years PantherII EO moderator
