Sounds good Jeff - now lets add a little more into the mix:
Instead of one load, there's two runs up for grabs - one is a 500 miler that pays cheap - and the second one is 750 miler that's from an occasional shipper that pays significantly more per mile.
There isn't really enough in the first...
Yes - do as Team Caffee instructed, then look for the following tags:
The "Begin Quote" Tag (which is the word "QUOTE" enclosed in brackets) and,
The "End Quote" Tag (which is "/QUOTE" enclosed in brackets)
These two items define where the quoted text begins and ends - and a pair of these...
No, I'm not using the FAST lane if I have a non-FAST load - topic wasn't about the FAST lane .... but about the FAST card.
I was just saying that I use the FAST card (as ID) at whatever booth I wind up at - whether the load is FAST or not.
I use mine every time I go to Canada or come out ..... whether the load I'm running is a FAST load or not ..... and yes - I'm usually cleared thru Customs in a couple of minutes.
I'm running Michelin LTX M+S at the moment ...... not sure if I like them as much as the Michelin LTX A+S that came with the van from the factory (ask me again in three months)
I ran the A+S all last winter ..... never had a problem ..... and I spent most all of last winter up north in the ice...
I use Power Service - had been using it at home to treat the off-road for the tractor which tends to sit for awhile. Buy it at Tractor Supply. I've used Howes as well. Only time I ever had a problem was when I wasn't using anything.
Of course it is - each individual is responsible for their own personal condition - even if many are unwilling to be held accountable for it.
I understand what you are saying - and really have no qualms with it - but I think it kinda misses the point I was trying to make - which is simply...
OVM - "it's just business" (as in: they're givin' ya the business :eek: - know what I mean ? :D)
I suppose that the real irony of it is, is that these carriers are actually farming out good work to their direct competitors ..... whereas owner-operators that are leased on to a carrier are not in...
The same way he knows this little gem (not):
I almost spit the soup I was eating all over my laptop when I read it ....
..... yeeeaaahh .... "mini runs" ..... right ...... jus' keep telling yourself that ...... over and over ..... all while keeping your eyes tightly closed .... and mebbe...
Of that, I'm sure ......
Ok .... I'll put 'er in a holding pattern .......
Whatcha wanna bet they don't grab the guy with the green eyeshade and have him break out the ledgers to 'splain it all when he drops by the home office .... ?
A very good price ...... I saw gas at $1.44 gallon and diesel at $2.25 coming thru southeast AL (or southwest GA - don't remember which) last night ..... lowest I've seen ....
Mmmm ...... wonder how that might be ..... and how it might work ....... here's a thought (have no idea if it's close to reality or not .... well mebbe I might have some idea ... :D):
Let's say you are a carrier - and you have two loads to cover. Load A is from a "normal" customer and pays...
Moose, can you elaborate on this at all ?
I mean, what other info would you like to see ..... that the Garmin isn't providing ?
Not accurate ...... at all ?
...... really ? :cool:
