Who said you was over paid? Your getting paid the same way our drivers do if you get 40% and your owner pays for the fuel, tolls, and everything else. Have fun and be safe on the road.

Nope your not, I do the same thing as you Dave. I leave it up to my carrier to say if it was a preventable accident or if it was a non preventable accident. If the drivers fault then they pay the insurance deductible.

I can tell you as a fleet owner that has over 2 million miles over the road. I understand that you may feel your worth what your getting paid. But, not everyone should start out at the same a driver who has been doing it for 15 years with no accidents. Drivers that get out of truck driving...

Greg that is one of the best post I have seen in a long time. :) Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

Not all owners are greedy as your implying. If I lived in a house like that I would have 50 trucks maybe. I pay myself the same every week and the rest goes back into the business. Some weeks I don't get a pay check because our drivers are the first ones to get paid. We may of had a repair or...

You sound like me when it comes to Tolls. I would agree with everything you said 100%

Sounds like a owner I know that is very good to his drivers. Yea we replace the mattresses with pillow tops if the driver needs a new one.

Moose, you and I make think that is. But the truck owner that has the brand new truck with a $3000 a month truck payment may say other wise. Two blown tires other things can put the guy in the poor house.

I don't pay our drivers like that. We pay our drivers 20% each with Haz mat. We get our drivers home every other weekend 80% of the time. Some choose to stay out longer but we don't ask them too. We don't give Vacation Pay as they are contractors. We do give BONUS's to them. We make sure they...

For the most part we don't have any problems with the way we pay our contractors.

Thanks for posting this Phil. As a fleet owner that pays all the tolls, the cost of going to the east coast is going to go up now even more. We will have to look at loads better when going to the east coast.

Expedite owners back in 1995 paid drivers 50% of what the truck made and they paid the fuel, and tolls. There was no FSC at this time because fuel was at $1.20 per gallon. When fuel started going up back in 2001 owners gave drivers 60% to help with the cost of fuel as there wasn't any kind of...

I understand why they only pay 35% to a team. The cost of new trucks along with paying everything Expediters Services is in the business to make money too. They need to get a return on their investment. Drivers have demanded so much for so long and truck owners are one breakdown from going out...

I thought it was a cool thing. When I was a Owner Operator at FedEx I wore my uniform with pride. I think the purple socks would look good with the uniform. You could say you wanted be like Donny Osmond. :)

I would have to agree with you on that 100%

You would have to call in and talk to the operations manager, or the fleet manager. I pretty much try to keep the drivers moving with freight on the trucks now. Go to www.mayfieldexpress.com

Thank you sir, I owe a lot of our success to you John also. You have helped us many times with Mayfield Express LLC growing. You helped me with the lease on our building that we are in now and many other things. Thanks again:)

Thanks Tom, I'm sorry I haven't called you yet. I have been really busy with getting these six trucks signed on that we just got.

Sometime you have to take a 1.10 a mile load with a .24 fsc to get out of Laredo, Tx. If the freight is going to Michigan it is worth it for those kind of miles.

I made this one up. You might be a redneck if you go to your local bank and they ask you if you want to buy a CD and you ask, do you have Garth Brooks? You might me a redneck.
