Hi OntarioVanMan! That is a great update! I am willing to bet it does one of 2 things for the new drivers down here, or the drivers not doing all that good. Hopefully it will give them some hope, and something to look forward to, or it will have all the not so lucky drivers, that don’t know the...

Also keep in mind the deadhead miles are equal to the trip miles. You don’t get paid for the deadhead miles, as a rule of thumb. Although some companies may pay them. I too heard the pay per mile is low.

ATeam! Where in my reply to you and gambler did I say that FCC management or employees ran their own trucks? You must be confused again! If you would have followed the WHOLE thread as the rest of us did, and once again knew the lingo, you would understand what he was saying. His statement “it is...

Why not use the easy way and just bookmark it? Then there is no typing involved at all!!! CLICK IT!!!!!!!!

RE: Is there a Sean! The guy that told that JB story is the Tax Master of EO. He is the moderator of the tax forum on this site. I would have to say if Frank posted it, then 90 % of it is true. I would say100% but who speaks of all that with out some exaggeration? I could believe it. Some...

ATeam! Gambler is saying is that management, and/or employees of FCC own trucks and lease them onto FCC, just like you or I would do, and hire drivers to run them. He is saying they are the ones that have the advantage over the rest of the fleet, because they get the best trips, or the cream of...

RE: Is there a "good" company I take you don’t have much of a hankering for dispatchers. Nice story Frank! But what Expediter do you know that has the cahoneys to pull off something like that.

If he wanted it there that bad and that fast, then he should have sent them by air. If I were you I would have pushed the issue, about him lying to the receiver. Sit back for a moment and read all the threads on this forum. Now ask yourself the same question??? If you look hard enough, you may...

RE: Hybrid Electric Diesel; A Sign of Things to Co Listening to RFK Jr. cry tunes, the other day, and in trying to put together some of what he was saying, (because if you ever heard him answer a question, you would know what I mean) I would have to agree with you Weave, about not ever seeing...

I won’t say that no one knows about then. I personally don’t, but I see a truck every blue moon. When I did the west run I would see their trucks more often. Of the few drivers that I did talk to they told me they did a lot of short trips, and a lot of deadhead miles. The funny thing was this 1...

Hey Zing, I know this hit a nerve with you, and if the shoe fits then wear it. I’m smoking a cigarette, KOOL filter kings and was doing the same when I wrote that reply. If we were at a fuel stop I'd offer you one. I didn’t know you were still with FCC. I thought you were one of the few smart...

I started to respond to this earlier and I was going to tell you Diva to get ready for a war, but I see now I slept the warning. Take yourself out of the box for a moment and read the 2 threads again. Although Dave spoke of some good points, he too is new to the forum, and came out the box with...

I don’t think the kid was directing a derogatory statement at you paperback, but was saying that more so about himself. But I could be wrong! I can tell you where not to take the truck to get fixed, and that is back to the dealer. It would probably be cheaper to take the entire cooperation...

Most companies have their own sets of rules, some are similar. The best help I can give to you, is to Call the companies you want to drive for, or call all the companies until one of them tells you what you want to hear. I know some drivers that pull trailers, with pick-ups. I see some vans...

My question to you rpompeo1 is, If you weren’t authorized to be in a certain area, then how did you get there? Will they tell you the info you’re saying they won’t tell, if you’re authorized to be there? There are some avenues IC’s can take, if a company is treating IC’s like employees, but the...

Hi Sean! I’ll DITTO Lawrence word for word, but would like to add, - A long time ago an old man told me, HE SAID! “Son! (that was me) if you don’t remember nothing else in life, always remember this; {You keep what you have by giving it away}.” Now it’s my turn to take the place of that old man. LOL

>In the trucking industry, you need more than just driving >skills you also need a brain between your ears. --- Most drivers in this industry don’t have any brains Sean. It’s a little hard for most drivers to think and hold the wheel at the same time. BUT! I agree with you 100% Especially if...

Don't you know that’s how Companies play their games. If you would've told them you wouldn't do it for less then a $1.10 you still would have gotten the load. Dummy!!! I am willing to bet your Company actually bid it at over $2.00 a mile but didn't want to pay you more than 48%

You should send a copy of your reply to the US DOT. If that doesn't help, then I suggest contacting the Attorney General, of the State the school is in, and tell them about it. This is becoming a really big issue. If you guys that are getting ripped off, do something about it, maybe it will stop.

Hi Wes, I don't consider myself a pro, but I do have some experience in expediting, and also paying people. I will give you some opinions. >A. Typical 60/40 split. I pay fuel & tolls. Truck is class 7 >w/64in. sleeper, no fridge, micro, inverter. I would have to >equip.---{make sure you hold...
