Phil, Phil, Phil....one needs a computer for such mundane tasks? You are given a P.U. time and a Protect Delivery time and you have the paid miles.... 500 mile load PU time 15:00 or 3pm protect time 01:00..or 10 hrs later.... what is with this "Critical Check out Time"?

You lose that drive time and no accumulation of dwell time? So someone could POD out AFTER you, make it to an express center first and technically be ahead of you in dwell time..? Instead of "Time from Last Load"

Dwell time starts when you POD out or go back into service...and goes with you...you get to bump or get bumped...one can see the dwell time on Fleetvision..I am at 28 hours presently... There is no macro available to see this...

Charles?? what the heck ya doing? That is 3x's with the same post...you got a stuttering issue? *LOL*

Problem is... a lot get into this biz as a last resort measure....they've been laid off, close to losing everything and see this as the "brass ring"...unfortunately this usually leads to even more problems for them....They think not as a business opps, but a life preserver.

It is what the manufacturer "recommends" The van has "limits"..if you operate it beyond those limits...you take a risk of damaging the drive train and suspension....and of course braking abilities and handling...unsafe...

There is a lot of corner stations 10-15 cents cheaper then a truckstop...over 50 G's is like $5/7.50 in savings...just whip out 2-3 bucks a get a tax deductible receipt for $10 and get over it.... Obviously they don't want your business as appears by their program and are not going to reward...

You were traveling west to east...how much tail wind you encounter? Considering FSC is configured at 9 mpg..you put money in your pocket...fuel was 100% paid for....you going to give the Feds back the surplus you did not spend? ;)

I'll bet he found the new truck they were looking for....

That is why a few of us in here..will opt for a brand new motor when the time comes vs a new van.... I was quoted 18k in Birmingham and 12,600 in Rapid City....I'll have it towed home for the price difference....;)

Running legal in a van/sprinter? No such thing..since we are not covered by FMCSA or HOS.....it could be said...we might be running unsafe....OR I run safely..

Thankfully when I hit my deer in my old Dodge, the carriers insurance had a replacement vehicle clause....5,000 km/3000 miles of using a rental....which just covered the 10 days downtime..

a $20 a $10 and 3 $1's.....:rolleyes: in MY pocket...

you sure? that would make you logable and scalable?

No but E-1 is their "preferred" carrier now....and now reefer trucks are appearing at E-1...which means "maybe" less work for the Feds WG units..

Are you with Judd or Expediter Services? The most a truck can make at E-1 is about $1.49 a loaded mile....$1.20 plus .29 T &T rate....not including any DH pay... You saying the WG rate is at or lower then that, on average?

No..Perkins County fair....right now they are judging the cows, sheep, hogs.... the county does have about 3,000 residents ya know? and NO tootoo's allowed.... workin dogs....if a dog don't work it has no use out here....:eek: You must be confusing us with the Kentucky fair..*L*
