    Re: Going Broke

    I did nearly fall out of the truck I was laughing so hard. There was a lot of dead head but when we worked out the pay without the DH it only paid about $1.50 per mile. WAY too low for TVAL work.

    Re: Going Broke

    This has nothing to do with any individual truck or carrier. As the business changes so will rates with it. There very well come a day when there is no "D" TVAL trucks. It is more than possible to see how rates could drop low enough to make it impossible to operate a truck like that. I can...

    Re: Going Broke

    Companies can offer what ever they want. They would cut OUR rates in half if they could. If no one accepted those lower rates they would not go this low. It all comes down to this, as long as people are willing to work cheap, we all will. Rates are going down. It is being masked by the FSC...

    Re: Going Broke

    I don't know about any one individual truck. The more people out there willing to work for next to nothing the lower rates will go.

    Obama is just the current bum in the White House. It is his turn to be blamed for everything. These problems are more caused by our useless congress than Obama's. He is a putz to be sure. The problem is caused mainly by 4 things. The ReBumLiCans, the Dumb-O-Crats, career politicians and...

    Nationwide fishing license

    Several southern states allow fishing without a license if you use a cane pole. There is a lot of good food that could be collected by fishing. It is a good way to keep food costs down. Any bets that few on food stamps bother? Bet they don't put in gardens if they have the space. They don't...

    Good luck to the ATeam. I hope they do well with their new adventure. Landstar was an interesting choice for them. It will be fun following their progress. I know that Landstar is not noted for it's reefer work but maybe they are thinking of expanding that business? Good start by...

    A license is required here. There are two of them. One costs less for those who choose not to fish for trout or salmon. Those programs are only paid for by those who fish for them. Our tags are not expensive. Only $15 per year for a resident, $28 if you CHOOSE to fish for trout or salmon...

    Nationwide fishing license

    If the feds get involved, there WILL be strings. Always is. A CCW is not really needed and is an intrusion. We have the right to keep and carry arms in the US. We don't NEED special permission.

    $1 looks to be working out....

    Some newbies are good right from the start. Some are not. Some seasoned expediters are good, some are not. Not all trucks are the same. A data logger does not a TVAL truck make. Neither does recorded maintenance logs only. There is just more to it. Maybe customers are not looking for...
