I hope this is a joke... who would risk his business to hire unlicensed drivers?

That's what the carrier asked me to have, the rest is covered by them.

Beside that buyback thing, there is already an escrow of $1300 per unit ($65/wk)...

Dave, I'm confused as well as you. They're not. And for what I know, it's mandatory, it's not optional.

I presume the answer is "kiss it goodbye"...

Try Hours covers the cargo insurance, but there's a 2000 deductible that has to be paid by the driver in case of an accident. Here comes the buyback thing, that'll cover the deductible if something happens... at least that's what they told me... anyway, it's something that I strongly disagree.

From my POV, it's new form of making some extra bucks... it covers the cargo's deductible ($2000 deductible) in case of an accident...

Phil, I'm pretty sure no one explained that to me, as well as all other charges beside the QC, Non Trucking and Occupational.

So, let's see... QC - $ 30/week Occupational $110/mo Non trucking $ 36/mo + 1 mo in advance Trippak $ 5/week Deductible buyback $ 26/mo + 1 mo in advance So, no matter if the truck is moving or not, there's a monthly charge...

Seeing is believing, right? Take a trip to Europe and you'll be amazed, trust me... I met in Germany many Americans that moved there after they were discharged (honorable discharge, of course) from the Army...

You're kinda off topic with these comments, but since you mentioned that, what makes you believe that in other countries you wouldn't be able to do the same thing as you do here? I'm not denying that there aren't countries where people are starving to death or suffering from xyz diseases, but...

Long story short: they paid me in April, they took the money back in July.

I asked the same question, why do I have to get charged every week another $5 for deposits through Comdata. The answer was short, "because they're working only through Comdata". So, it's some sort of "love it or leave it"...

I realize that it's slow as slow can be, but when I have to put money from my own pocked to pay the drivers because they have so many charges that cannot be covered not even by the driven miles, TH is no longer a viable option

Back in April the dispatch sent me for a pickup, not too far from my place, I'd say about 25 miles away. I got there, they had two pallets weighing 1700 lbs each. Originally, when I was dispatched, I was told 2 skids / 340 lbs, so it looks like somebody forgot to add another zero. Now being an...

Reason? Maybe Monday and Friday vehicles? ;) The funny part is that Sprinters are the most popular and wanted cargo vans in Europe, while Fords are considered the worst.

Well, I was referring to the BH guy

Sprinters were a problem since they came on the market...

You should see them in Western TX, while you drive 80 MPH (for the folks that don't know, that's the speed limit), some big rigs are passing you like a hurricane...

The BH guy?
