I don't really have a answer on vans, but with straights and tractors, the driver makes more than the fleet owner when looking at a individual truck. The fleet owner generally makes the money on volume. Multiple trucks if you will. Ownership by individuals use to be high but that is changing...

He probably better start worrying. At last check he is trailing in that election.

Everything is directly tied to the rate. If a carrier is going to pay a fast food rate, that is likely the crowd they will attract. Vans by their very nature as mentioned require little skill. When that happens you are dealing with a more transient crowd. In that crowd you have retired folks...

Probably too much weight. Good for some vanners to watch. Could also be a bad axle, wheel bearing and such. Which usually go bad from poor maintenance or carrying too much weight.

When you see that kind of balance, that is when you have a problem.

That is probably true to some degree but if there is a racial component, that is a separate issue. Why? Because if it is just revenue, logic would pursue the white crowd under the premise they have more money. Of course if things are too trumped up, many might have the resources to fight it...

After reading all this, one thing is for certain. Their court system needs some oversight and they need to get cameras on the cops. Not a complete fix but it should straighten out some of the issues they are having.

No profit in that. :cool:

Have I ever mentioned I watch Fox News? :cool:

True. They called all the residents in Kentucky for their survey. lol

I couldn't resist. :cool: Fox News is America's most trusted news channel, new poll says | syracuse.com

I'm surprised it took so long. :eek:

Maybe kill two birds with one stone. If you like the owner but the carrier is underperforming, both of you are taking a hit revenue wise. Maybe the two of you should shop a better carrier? Then you both win. It is a slower time of year for some carriers but you should be turning the corner here...

Each vehicle class has its advantage. Although a van can be a tough gig depending on circumstances. We did tractors and many hotshots with gooseneck trailers. No experience with vans other than booking loads for them. Straights became my favorite because that is the only truck the wife would...

Good luck on the new gig. Stop in from time to time and let us know how real estate is in MN. ;)

There is a place we can agree. They would be better off putting Jim Webb out there.

It is the same silly argument. "The horse is out of the barn". Guns are already out there so they are easy to get. No amount of gun control is going to change that. Criminals will continue to get guns as well as vegetables if they want them.

Probably got overlooked since they were dealing with "the most transparent administration". :rolleyes:

Taxes are based on income. Well kind of. All kinds of loop holes for both the poor and corporations. Insurance is based on risk. It is not based on income. Well, until Obamacare. :rolleyes: Sounds pretty socialist to me. Of course we can't call it that so the new phrase is "income...

Your solution is communist/Marxist based. You want the government to control income and take from one to give to someone else. Or, am I not understanding you solution? I would recommend looking up venture capitalism. Just based on your post, I'm not sure you understand what they do and don't do.
