They pay by the mile but someone else will have to chime in on what the rates are.

Not all, but most carriers skim the FSC. Usually one of three ways or a combination of all three. Carrier gets a kickback from the fuel provider. Can be quite substantial. Use a flat rate and pocket the difference. Often that is where DH and relocation money comes from. Use DOE as a base but...

I would agree in that price range, you are looking to gamble. Odds may be better in Vegas? On that age vehicle, you will at a minimum need 10k in quick access cash. Why? One major tow bill and repair could easily burn that up. If running the US, no guarantee that breakdown will happen close to...

I would have to go "comfort" since the wife would be coming along. Could be rough if it was just limited to the other two. :)

With all the issues going on at the state level, I not following why they are even spending time on this? Too many other things to worry about.

Lot of money in the "green business". Why do you think Al Gore jumped into it? I did say Republicans got money from the banks, but a greater number of those dollars goes to democrats. Talk about hypocrisy. Just ask Hillary who recently got 300k for a half hour speech from Goldmans. As for...

But any of them are better than Hillary. lol:D

I think if one is honest and really looks at the current problems, both parties are to blame. I would hardly call it a problem of only Republican makings. Obama had full control for two years with a Democrat Congress and accomplished nothing but run up the debt. Of course Bush drug us into a war...

Using Android and it updated this afternoon and seems its working well. Thumbs up on the site.

I don't think Warren has much chance either. She doesn't want the job either which is a good thing.

Wow, Only a day out of the gate and everyone is dumping on poor Teddy. :cool:

No need to go into bad weather, so no bonus. :cool:

I think that is where the disconnect may come in. Using it on employees is a little different than independent contractors. I do see advantages and disadvantages. A possible compromise if for insurance/liability only, would be to have on facing forward but not at the driver. A owner operator...

There is no question about it. How often does the Attorney General rush to a crime scene?

That I agree with. There is no question that the department has issues. Whether Wilson was guilty or innocent is a different issue than all the problems their department have.

Umm, maybe. They made such a rush to get there just to find something and what they found was much different. They wanted to find anything, not just a civil rights violation. They did find departmental issues but nothing with this specific officer. It does come down to whether they can "prove"...

Not so sure on the state, but the DOJ went in looking for anything. Bottom line, they didn't find enough to prosecute. Doesn't mean there isn't racial problems within the police department, but the results of them not arresting the officer speaks volumes.

Wow, too bad. She has every right to protest it and they have every right to show it.

Just a quick take. Is it net income? Probably the biggest factor. If someone is splitting and saving the free Pilot hot dogs, net income would be the first thing. I read a article recently that surveyed existing drivers, and the number one item was respect from the carrier. I believe John...

Just straights at the moment. We have consider tractors again but many of the folks running them jump quite a bit from company to company looking for a greener pasture. I think if I did it again, it would be specialized dedicated running. With the nature of expediting, one or two bad weeks, and...
