    Which carrier pays the most, keeps you busy, values drivers and low weekly fees?

    You mean like that? I don't understand, I was just told last week there is no reason I couldn't make money @ $.50 a mile? What am I missing here:confused:

    Judging height

    All joking aside.. Its best to be concerned with tree branches and wires regardless if where they are suppose to be and at what height.. Trees will knock that roof off as fast as any bridge will at 30mph.. Ya pull a wire out of someone's house and you may find out that the height of it didn't...

    Judging height

    Forget about it, especially if you play ingress and roll up on a portal @ 40 plus mph. Your going to get tree damage. :eek:

    Truck ordered not used

    Problem with that is a dry run pays for nothing after a large deadhead.. Dry run is nothing but a feel good measure at that point. If the carrier had the ability to get the truck loaded on the same log page I would sing a different song. Log book started and now ya go to bed after being on duty...

    Truck ordered not used

    Heads up guys/gals.. IAC in Fremont Ohio is ordering trucks ever few hours and canceling them just before the next one arrives.. Machines have been down all day with no production coming out the door. Freight is going to Portage Mich so there is no real money on the load to begin with. Watch...

    Solo or Teamed?

    Solo. With this and previous carrier Solo no doubt about it. Being I refuse to move from one parking lot to the next, most of the time I'm just heading home when they fail to load the truck. Running 99.9% auto freight, no reason to venture far enough to require teams. Cost to much to get back...

    M-14 closing spring 2016

    Stretch of M-14 in Ann Arbor to close in spring 2016 for $10M overhaul OK Ragman. What's the detour going to cost us in miles and time? Figure out the best and fastest way around this for us. I need that road to get home most of the time :D Haven't figured up the detour miles yet.. Got to be...

    The great Give Away

    Plenty of non air ride trucks still out there and plenty of shippers still paying for air ride trucks. Pick up a load of windshields/sand molds/ machinery etc etc and tell the shipper your not a air ride truck and first thing you will hear is you better be because we are paying extra for air...

    Extra stops

    Let me check my profile sheet,I just got one of those tonight.. (Well not a stop but wrong address) $25.00. But its not payday yet and I haven't heard yet if the customer is always right, this may still be my fault for following the load profile :D

    LOCKED IN

    Well aware of the 2 hour window. Or use to be, now its turned into a 3 hour (plus) window and sometimes, Oh I'm sorry we don't charge this customer for waiting... Properly because its all based on your second part above... Well I'm not there for them, I'm there for me and my benefit. Part of...

    LOCKED IN

    Another stick on the fire, Ready Now...Start heading that way and I will send ya the info when I get it.. Time is going to be tight, we need you to get there.. Well without the info how do you know its ready now? Don't roll until you have the load profile in your hands. Ready now has caused a...

    LOCKED IN

    Another good reason to d/Ingress and never arrive early again.. Get to your area ask if freight is ready and if not,,then go sightseeing and maybe blow something up in the process.. :cool:

    Eyes on I-94

    Isn't this something that should be done on a daily basis? Not only on commercial vehicles but on 4 wheels also...Lack of traffic enforcement is what has lead to the, its all about me attitude on the open road.

    Generated and paid to the truck? Crap the load on the 20th nearly exceeds my last 4/settlements..

    fuel card- advances

    Where are you seeing these FSC numbers? Even your your worst example from above is better the I have seen at this carrier.. Looking back (real quick) 3 months the best I have seen on my profile sheets is one 497 mile run with a $32.00 FSC.. This isn't taking into account the miles that are...
