    FECC "CONTEST"

    I don't know that I would be sold on any company paying a percentage unless you see the costomer billing with your statement. How do you know you are getting that quoted percent? If they are paying a percent, then there is always a reason. Not sure, try asking your carrier for the bills of the...

    can a moderator tell me why my post was suddenly r

    RE: can a moderator tell me why my post was sudden As indicated in earlier posts, I have met with one of Tom's drivers. He was doing very well and was performing at the numbers Tom quoted. This was prior to me even knowing who Tom Robertson was. That being said, since that time I have had...

    Not sure what design you have but the Bentz version was at the EO show and it appeared to be well recieved by all the companies that were there. Davekc

    Our First week out

    I think you gave yourself very good advise. My personal opinion is to have three to six months of ALL expenses saved. This will protect you in case something unexpected happens. One of the biggest downfall of new folks is spending everything and saving little. I am glad you are doing well. If...

    Our First week out

    Fix it right or else..........

    I agree with you. Mercedes may become a player if they keep building them in large enough numbers. It seems that they have experienced some problems though. As far as a volvo, I would go with a US engine. Here again, lack of parts and qualified technicians seem to be a problem with them. There...

    I was looking for what your thoughts were and what you have been shopping. That is not a reflection of your actual purchase. I think everyone pretty much knows about your truck so which generators you are considering isn't going to matter much. I am aware that Keith Bentz uses several different...

    Bentz or Midway would be my choice. The star trek has the wrong set up. You need a periscope from a submarine to watch the tv.:7 Davekc

    O/O revenue and drivers pay

    It is very difficult to find good teams. The majority of the good ones already own their own equipment or are working towards that goal. As I look at other web sites, persuasive negativity is running rampant through the trucking industry. I think it effects all aspects of trucking including...

    RE: Been reading this forum and want to say 'thank It's not all wine and roses with White Glove loads. There are a lot of short ones that require lift gate and inside deliveries. Such deliveries can easily take several more hours than first expected when you take the load. You have got that...

    Been reading this forum and want to say 'thanks'

    RE: Been reading this forum and want to say 'thank We would still take a short run but it would depend whether it was the weekend or whether it could be delivered earlier enough in a day to get something else. Location and other trucks would also be a factor as well. We would consider a short...

    O/O revenue and drivers pay

    I think your latter comments have some merit under the right conditions. Might work for families that are close together. We did something simular 5 years ago when I was involved with another business at the same time. The other team was a retired couple with us owning the truck. Went well for a...

    Fix it right or else..........

    I am sure that would be the dealers position; in that they were not afforded the opportunity to remedy the repair. While it is a better fit to find engine shops that specialize in your engine it may be difficult for folks who are buying these Mercedes engines. I would believe you are stuck with...

    FECC "CONTEST"

    RE: FECC I agree with A Team on this one. There needs to be more communication between dispatch and drivers. Many don't know the dispatchers job and visa versa. A run offered at some of these described rates is an insult to the driver. .48 cents a mile for a load ect. They should know better...
