I really, honestly wouldn't advise it right now... All the researching of the archives here, can't make up for common sense....you've read the papers heard the talk....it's slow for most...Me? I'd wait for spring to see how things shake out....better to stay warm flippin burgers for the winter...

Sorry I am late checking in...they are trying to run our dogs off...run into a fishin hole of loads and trying to fish them all out....pool is pretty shallow these days..... should be moronic....as opposed to ironic....;)

With all the talk of tax increases in South Dakota and bailouts in Washington, my cousin sent me this explanation of government at work: Three contractors are bidding to repair a broken fence at the White House in DC: One is from New York, another is from Tennessee and the third is from...

your correct Piper..the ridge on the rim of the rotor made by the pad, the squeeler can rub against that....

Sorry I am late checking in...they are trying to run our dogs off...run into a fishin hole of loads and trying to fish them all out....pool is pretty shallow these days..... Don't know if the air tabs do anything for slippin and sliddin...but they sure do work on the wind and the side to side...

Thats exactly what happened to me....supposed to pick up and go to Cleveland Tn....got the cancel call on that one and reassigned to one going to Amana Iowa instead...got to the shipper the first load to TN was still on the dock with PANTHER written on it.....Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....they send me to...

running heavyweight will glaze over the pads but grinding noise? you said you had it apart? Pads not cracked/broken or pad starting to separate from the steel?

Suds you are correct...many a times I've seen drivers that drive for owners with half a tank of fuel and 5 bucks in thier pockets....they can't move until they get a load and the com data gets advanced....they are trapped like rats...They live from load to load...they are the ones that would be...

Actually Fastrod it's we that have the responsiblity to perform our duties.... We have the equipment, we look around and pick what we think is the right carrier....WE sign on aka hire them and pay them a percentage to find us loads and they pass on the balance...if they don't perform we...

oh my..I didn't realize common sense was used.....I thought you just took the paid relocation then whine....There's an unpaid alternative? How novel. :rolleyes:

Ohh But I am not moving unless they pay me to move....they said when I sit long enough they'd pay me to go to a better area....I shouldn't have to pay outta my own pocket....I am NOT moving till they pay me to....Its MY money and I want it now! That said.....I totally disclaim the above statement.

Nice discounts for us small guys....:D Click on toll rates.... https://www.getizoom.com IPass offers even better discounts for vans...and there is even discounts for trucks....pays to go thru at night IF you can...

huh? you ok? ;)

Thats my take on it as well Dave....If dispatch can't do it the first time around they can call on thier own dime not mine....We relay the updated info via QC....

We have them driver directions as well, except we the drivers call in any new info about the directions to the customer.

A 3 way call seems a lot of bother...most times we don't need the number but it's good to have...to call ahead and maybe theres a night shift and we can unload early without having to drive there first....All comes down to whats best for the customer then ourselves then our carrier...in that...

You don't get phone numbers? We get both...customers and receivers, except 3rd party loads...and sometime we get them also...Little good sometimes always voice mail....but sometimes comes in real handy...

Maybe there should be a dispatch forum...hahaha....man they tell some stories of the people out here....there is a lot a A-holes driving around and miserable to boot!! Whine whine whine....I don't do this, I don't do that...

Yeah....exactly...thats why they get the big bucks...to figure it all out....*LOL*

Carriers that split loads like this aren't taking the hit as bad as one would think.....if you consider thier standard 30-35% mark-up.... If it was quoted for an E unit for the drivers part at even say 2.50 a mile....that would prolly equate to an offer of $1.15-$1.25 for 2 C units or D's in the...
