If you are really looking to fix the owners wagon just file for unemployment, that makes him have to get a lawyer to fight you and all you have to do is just sit back and say but he fired me. I know it seems like a dirty thing to do but he will then be the one having to defend himself in court...

Can anyone please explain or provide me with any info concerning Panther II's policy toward pets and passengers? I am sure I probably should post this in the recruiting forum but thought I might get a quicker answer here due to the weekend. Would also like any info concerning T-Val and if they...

It is too bad you did not get the carrier rep stating the following on tape because when a carrier says you WORK for them they have opened a whole new can of worms. >She also added she does not care that I wasn’t paid, the carrier works for them so in turn I work for them, thus she felt I...

In reference to a W/G pre-planned load, we are never offered a good load if we take a lousy load. I would be willing to bet the reason the pre-planned load was not offered to the second truck and why the first truck was pre-planned was because of security clearances, especially in the region...

When I started in the Commercial Transport division of NAVL you could count on what ever the dispatched miles were you could bet money it was 10% short. Good old household movers guide mileage. I have been running for FDCC for 7 years and I have to say when I bought my last new truck, as with...

As for putting away, I have my handy dandy little zippered bank bag and 5% of every load goes into that little envelope. I use it for fun, emergencies, minor repairs and maintenance. I keep this with me and when it reaches a certain amount I bank the larger portion and start over. Just a...

RE: Which company actually cares about good driver To answer your question about you running amount, I try to tell anyone new in the business or thinking about getting into the business of expediting that it is a whole new ball game from “regular truckingâ€. #1 I always say that if you...

I am an O/O with FDCC and I see people talking about the reduced rates, but you know I still don’t care how much the load pays. I care how many miles I have to DH to the load and how many miles I might have to DH after the load to the next pickup then, I factor all the variables and my...

I feel the ATA has never done anything that has benefited a single driver. They only do things that benefit their bottom line.

If you think a log book will keep someone from a run then you are living in a dream world. I have been driving for over 25 years and the first thing I learned in Logbook 101 was how to adjust a logbook to suit my purpose. But I will say this as an owner operator I know my limits and I also know...

I know that everyone has an opinion about the HOS but I would really like to know how the bureaucrats manage to figure out how much sleep or rest or whatever I need. I would like to know what kind of study group they use to determine sleep patterns in thousands of different people. I have...

RE: Hows the the new FedEx CC FSC program working You say the company is collecting FSC under false pretenses but then are they not also collecting D-time the same way, as I have just been trying to show sometimes we just need to look at the big picture we get paid to haul the freight I don't...

RE: Hows the the new FedEx CC FSC program working OK here I go again putting in my two cents worth. I still have to say that everyone is micro-managing the whole FSC. Here is another example if you feel this strongly about the FSC then how about the detention time, I don’t see a dispatcher...

RE: Hows the the new FedEx CC FSC program working Maybe I am being foolish but, why is everyone so concerned with the FSC and how much FedEx is getting. I am an owner operator and all I am concerned with is how much am I getting and if it is not enough then I will not accept the load and if it...

Maybe I am being foolish but, why is everyone so concerned with the FSC and how much FedEx is getting. I am an owner operator and all I am concerned with is how much am I getting and if it is not enough then I will not accept the load and if it stays at a rate I can not live with I will find...

No, actually you have to read the fine print... NOTE!!!!! "Truck drivers: None of the above applies." Hope you don't mind my little attempt at humor. But sometimes it seems very true. If you have driven as long as I have I think you...

I have another question to pose: Do any of you guys and gals know the last line of the U.S. Constitution?:)

As I said this is a trick question. You are "legally" required to log what you run, therefore if you are running at 75 MPH then you are "legally" required to log at 75 MPH. If you are averaging you MPH then you are falsifying your logs. But of course everyone will tell you to average your...

Can anyone tell me what speed you can legally log??? And remember this might just be a trick question.
