David your a darned nice guy BUT please don't throw your a man of the cloth in our faces because someone doesn't agree with you or disputes your point.... To me your just another driver who happens to expedites..what you do in your spare time is of no consequence to me..... I really didn't think...

Hmmmm..reading the Energy Depts site says the only country US exports GAS to is Canada...no mention of diesel??? Much to the chagrin of the bio-diesel refiners...our farmers in my area NOT planting corn this year!!

Goes to show now there's no shortage of refiners...actually Valero is running at 72% of capacity as of last report. U.S. Gasoline Demand Falls 5.8% From Year Ago, Jordan Burke May 6 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. gasoline demand fell 5.8 percent from a year ago as pump prices rose, MasterCard Inc...

The Midwest Average went down .032 cents last week.... National Average went down .028 cents a gallon of diesel Weekly On-Highway Retail Diesel Prices Crude as of this post was at $121.95 per barrel!! Expect diesel to spike again real soon....

Kinda like the guy next to me in Laredo being offered .48+fsc a mile in a sprinter to get out of there!! He turned it down!

Sure...down hill coasting engine shut off....should make it if brakes don't wear out first...*LOL*

I met Joe and his wife Robin last month for dinner at Nicks and they are a great young couple....Judy and I will be thinking of them.

Quote from terry: I'm not sure why this thread has gotten so far afield of my initial post, but it has. I can't see where it drifted too far off...your intial post was to comment that at FDCC favourtism is rare in your personal experiences and contacts with FDCC...with others commenting...

After the first year it gets alittle easier especially if your not one to jump to greener pastures every time there's a slowdown...Dispatch knows you and you know them and you get a "COOL" designation....you'll know your carriers good spots and bad, where they have customers or not...I try to...

Vinnie...You nailed it!!! Exactly When they speak of a computer making a determination..I think of Terminator! Good ole fashion common sense can't be replaced by a computer. There's too many tangibles for a computer to make a fair assessment of some situations in this business. The computer is...

Moot said "He was also making 5 or 6 c.p.m. less, so there I sat." I always wondered why P2 doesn't just cancel older existing contracts and have a uniform rate...this would eliminate the "suspicion" that the higher rated truck gets passed over for this reason. Typically you could have 3...

Ross...define "enough work" Whats enough for me may not be enough for you. Get my drift?

Turtle..We get dispatched around as well...and dispatch even admits it openly so there's no confusion...they hand out short runs to singles and save us for the team run...thats if there are singles to dispatch the shortes too. As far as the QC rounding up...ours will do the same thing...we...

Lazy dispatchers? Nah....It's 20 mintes before the end of shift your handed a crappy load... your YES driver is sitting 6th...you'd have to go thru 5 others and listen to thier whinning. Oh what to do...the path of least resistance??

you talk about dispatchers having to match load and truck...it must be a nightmare sometimes for them...because there is NO conformity amongst the classes. Example many times we've pulled into an area and been listed 6th BUT with our 70" high and 12 feet and team with Haz....we are #1 in that...

Now that we've all been polite....can we give him a slap for falling asleep at the wheel????:p Sorry couldn't resist....;)

The rule IS one card per occupant.However there are some that don't go by this rule. Some will charge $5.00 + tax for extra person. So if a team add this to your calculations. Sometimes the coupon books are cheaper by a couple bucks. If there is a special event in town like NASCAR or a...

Sure why not sign a contract?...smart management move. Keep things moving while re-organizing and if it doesn't work out..file chapter 11...and boot everyone out...can't get blood from a stone. The contract means nothing. If I were a worker I still wouldn't be celebrating yet.

Appears Lady Luck was on your side or it wasn't your time to go. Maybe it's a sign or message or just plain fate. Your already probably punishing yourself about this incident...so nuff said on that.....It's unfortunate this might retire the BIG YELLOW machine...whatever you decide Good Luck and...

anyways back to subject.......... If they do lower the price, the FSC will be a bit lower and maybe it'll be a bit busier for some that are slow, as shippers costs will be also abit lower. A .24 drop should be about 2-3 cent drop in FSC...so your actually real time savings would be abit lower.
