    expediter insurance

    Are leased to a carrier? That number sounds high unless you are running under your own authority.

    Carrier cutting rates

    It changes weekly based on the DOE. Probably similar to what the Fed has. Others without it, the FSC is based on that individual load.

    Carrier cutting rates

    He could be if he is at the lowest base rate and on the structured FSC. Not all vans would be at that number.

    Carrier cutting rates

    If a team can do hazmat, rate should be 1.30 plus FSC which is high thirties to low forties right now. With an occassional luzer thrown in there that would be in the twenties. Deadhead is from the point of dispatch and that is .41 this week. Empty moves or relocation to another board would be...

    Carrier cutting rates

    Probably depends on their contract. They have van drivers that have been there for awhile at the .85 cent rate plus fsc. Same with straight trucks and rates. The lowest I think they have is 1.25plus fsc. Some are much higher. With regards to Panther, some hear one rate and think that is the...

    It's a Better Life for Owner Operators

    One of the guys in the comment section had it right. They failed to address the increases in maintenance costs and the price of replacement vehicles. They probably need to go back and rethink that article. Wonder if E-1 cut their rates based on the perception in that article that drivers have...

    When you take much of the complexity/spin out of these issues, it really does expose the real stupidity in which we govern.

    New welfare program?

    That is part of the problem. Many take classes for things that the economy doesn't need. If government is to get involved (shouldn't, but they already are), it should be to involve business with the colleges so they just don't get a education, but get educated for a employable purpose.

    If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for being in the country illegally ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots. If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or take an aspirin in school, but not to...

    New welfare program?

    They better start looking at it because it is the silent debt that rarely gets talked about. Ultimately it will likely get dumped on the taxpayer because when we went, we paid less. If we don't pay for the current students, "we aren't doing our fair share". :rolleyes: They are using that...

    Destroy walmart!

    That would be my take. People can work somewhere else. For most, Walmart is a stepping stone to something else. No one says if you work there, you have to make your career there.

    Carrier cutting rates

    I don't think E-1 wants you thinking that deep. That is not a characteristic of a "team player".

    Yes it could take a week or two. But it will happen.

    06 vs 07

    The difference is 12 months.;) No seriously, not sure except some of the 07's are likely regen engines and the 06's wouldn't be.
