I think you're missing your own point, and are doing so with apples and oranges, and a few pears and bananas tossed in. For one, carriers that reimburse tolls will reimburse DH tolls to go pick up the load, in addition to loaded mile. I don't know of many who will reimburse "empty move" or...

If you were seriously considering expediting you wouldn't be seriously considering splitting cargo van revenue with anyone. But be that as it may, the average rate for a cargo van is about 90 cents a mile, FSC included. After splits and expenses you'll get about 30 cents of that.

He's not a moron, he' just another victim of the "Ron Paul Effect", where he knows agencies need to be closed (because Ron Paul said so and he knows Ron Paul is right, and because he knows that's what people want to hear), he just don't know which ones need to be closed because he's never really...

Believe it or not, unlike the vast, overwhelming majority of truck drivers, the vast, overwhelming majority of police officers who enforce DOT regulations know the definition of, and what constitutes, a Commercial Motor Vehicle. Police officers don't just "put you in the commercial side of...

The FSC can either be static (Structured) or Variable. The Structured is based on the national average, and for cargo vans it's whatever the National Average is, less $1.35, then divided by 11 MPG. Top of the page at the time of this writing show a National Average of $3.82. Less $1.25 is $2.57...

He votes no on the spending bills, not the earmarks. If there was a way other than earmarks to bring money back to his district, he'd do it, but there's not. It's earmarks or nothing. The fact that you are so closely equating earmarks and spending bills is the clearest indication that you don't...

Clearly, Jose Illegal is the smarter of the two.

No, you did the math right. Splitting income with an owner in a van leaves you with very little. Have her get her CDL B. Rent a U-Haul or something for her to practice with. It's real easy. That, or buy your own van. Can't make any money driving someone else's van. You just can't. Can't make a...

A year or two ago there was about a 4-month period where they were signing on new vans as 70 cents per mile. There aren't many of those, and anyone still on a 70 cent contract should redo the contract. Since that 4-month period, all the van contracts have been either 72 or 73 (can't remember...

I'm in Kansas City, where it's cold and sunny. Drove across 64 and then 70 to get here, through the swath of the tail of that storm. I mostly caught flurries across Illinois and Missouri, (and that stupid relentless 35 MPH headwind I was driving into, which did wonders for my fuel mileage). Lots...

The difference is a lot of people don't understand earmarks, what they are and how they work. Those who call them "pork" understand them the least. The see the list of the top earmarkers, as if that's supposed to be a bad list or something. They don't understand how Congress allocates money, and...

I had no idea Bubbles was so afraid of Ron Paul.

Somebody's been watching Freight Wars.

Well, you gotta have a license plate. And if you're plated in Michigan you have to comply with the door markings required in that state. Otherwise, no markings of any kind are required for a vehicle of 10,000 pounds or less (unless you're hauling material requiring a HAZMAT placard, or is a...

So, rather than calling Papa Johns directly about an individual employee, she decided to go public, via Twitter, about the entire corporation, forever cementing herself as "lady chinky eyes". No one will remember Minhee Cho, but Lady Chunky Eyes will live forever in the annals of pizzadom...

Since Diva's face seems to be rather unscathed, I'm not sure what to make of that.

That's an extraordinarily bad and incorrect conclusion drawn from my statement. Paul wasn't defending Romney as being truthful and honest, he was attacking those who twist the truth and then used the twisted fallacy to attack Romney with it. That he was defending Romney at all is a slalcious...

And people wonder what the secret is to a successful marriage. There it is people, right there! :D

I've probably spent more time at the TA in Antioch (off I-24 outside Nashville) than any other truck stop. It's my home two hours from home. I was there three weeks ago. I've never had a problem there. Not once.
