I think you just rained on his parade.

After reading this thread, I think I will pour a glass of wine. :jawdrop:

I think this is awesome. Will make for a great political season. Not sure he is real presidential, but he is a great bomb thrower.

In Florida we usually go to Publix and we use the cloth bags.

When you get into the details of many of these programs, that have some pretty significant budgets and payouts. So make no mistake, someone is getting the money. Of course in some, it has been shown it was dead people, but you know. :eek:

Some advantages depending on the carrier would be fuel discounts and likely the rate. Especially if looking at Panther. Fleet owners run at a higher rate than a individual truck. As far as the five percent variance, if the truck grosses 20k a month, that is a grand a month, or $500 if splitting...

Umm??? Need to shop that a little bit. As mentioned, there are fleet owners that have new or newer trucks at that 40 percent. Keep in mind, that "new trucks" aren't necessarily trouble free. Especially with all the emissions items on them. Ask me how I know. lol

That is it right there. They do vary from state to state, but much of the income is from a combination of numerous programs. That is going from welfare, snap program, free food at school, subsidized clothing, subsidized cell phones, tv cable, and internet, subsidized housing, free or subsidized...

Think I would look for a 40/60 deal or a 60/40. Plenty of fleet owners pay in those ranges. 35 is just too low against those stated rates.

As I look through this, you may not like my answer. In one of your posts, you mention "child care". If accurate, I would not recommend expediting until the young ones are grown. They won't give two shweets that you went trucking. What they will remember is how often you were there when it...

Turtle has it correct. As long as you understand and embrace the stupidity, it can be a profitable venture. Make no mistake, by embracing the foolishness, a straight there can gross well over 200k a year. But again, you have to understand the madness.

We do well with them but you do have to know their system.

Climate change is the new religion.

Just amazing. We all have to just stare at each other in silence. Don't want to offend anyone. lol

That would be my take. Most that engage knowingly with the rogue carriers are going to be pretty secretive about those dealings. "They had the right paperwork we think". lol

Working something like this from the drivers or owner operator side is going to net minimal results. There are many OVM's out there with that view. Well, maybe minus the shorts. lol. Just like many things in our industry, the opinions, wants or needs are all over the place. Kind of like trying...

That is it right there. If something is affecting myself or drivers in a negative fashion, I really don't care who I piss off in the process of correcting it.

Sometimes it is a necessity if a thread is getting derailed too much.

Just sooo many places to go with that kind of question.

Nothing wrong with the occasional Jerry Springer episode. :D
