That is exactly what my case was...a change of plan....my former carrier changed their plan and my life needs changed...I am not saying E-1 is bad....just bad for me....we were a world apart.....so ....here I am...at Load-1.

All State has a yearly $200 processing fee.... Express-1 HAD a $150 processing fee...but dropped it when truck and workers comp insurance rates went up.. BUT the FSC is calculated on the Mid West Average...which is the 3 lowest rate in the nation...currently there is a .04 cent difference...

Moot..My subliminal message is getting to your mind .... Drive less...Make more....:D

In Litchfield Mn...now... and that is Ram tough...:D

ok...hitting the road now...back to work...:D

does your Fleetvision page indicate miles after your drop...or just the total miles from point of dispatch to delivery?...

Now if we can persuade even more carriers to think this way...we could make the volume carriers really start sweating....*LOL*

Even tho you are not under load..they are still part of you doing your business and are expenses that have to be dealt with....i am quite sure IFTA doesn't discount them miles...?

if I had even half a brain it would die of loneliness..*lol*

get out of my head...*lol*;)

Sorry if i am over your head..watching the 3 Stooges will do that....*lol* Kinda like Walmart marketing....Volume sales... offer a ton of miles at smaller rates and make your profit from the sheer volume of total miles.. from my point of view...do I want to drive 11,000 miles a month and make...

Joe..this is just one of them issues that could be debated back and forth all day....what is right for one is not right for another and so on....

I can understand..."to a point" that some drivers have to put food on the table and pay the roof over their families head and the load they are on will do that and make the pay check.....You and I are not quite that bad off and have more leeway to make the call.....it is a tough one for some.

So Mr Clark....with all this said... Do you subscribe to the idea that this industry is headed in the direction of being volume orientated? Another company owner came on awhile ago and said that that is what is current among most of the bigger carriers and that was his business plan. He also...

Basically..that is what it all boils down too... dare i say...common sense....:eek:

i would also say...after the first inch of ice...what the heck these trucks even doing out there?...and if it were like 2-4 inches why didn't the state close the highway in W. Memphis instead they left it open to cause this mess and make it even worse...total lack of coordination on the states...

Mr Clark...that is what I was trying to say...unfortunately I cut short.....Mr.E in some areas has bid low and was going to take a loss to move us but the couldn't even win at very low rates..eventually he just pays us to move...all out of his pocket.... And Thank You Mr. Clark for being here....:D

Yes..In my salting days for the DOT salt is redundant at cold temps......I just followed the plow and dumped almost pure sand with about 10% salt....at daybreak because the salt will now become active...we'd switch over to 100% salt and just literally dump it on...

Why not just have private contractors on stand by contracts? Surely they love the extra work...
