Still have one left that sleeps four. Can't believe nobody on this site needs a bit of r&r.

It's easy to git confused there pj. Kinda like the chicken, egg thingy. There are many success storys, but, it seems many more failure storys. Many enter here with appetites way too large (drivers and fleet owners) for where they are at in life when entering the biz. They developed their...

Me tink that the ONLY ones that should be mad or depressed are the ones that screwd da pooch when times were good, an woke up a couple few weeks ago. Does seem like many tho. Don't it????? Wunner who they are mad at??????

Not too much speculation, jes fact. There have been, are, and always will be ya butts and agendas in this business. Ya simply have to control them a bit with some planning. IF you knew you had to do some moving (or whatever) why didn't ya jes git R done a few days earlier, THEN start yer biz...

Don't know much about yer running costs, but, I do know that when you tink you "need" to go home an don't, an don't waste those miles, ya won't havta worry so much bout fsc on yer other miles.

Four in da truck eh?? Jes tink bout da partee that gurl might be hav'in. Any you fleet owners got any funny talkers in yer truk?? Let us know how it turns out. Might be sumpin other fleet owners should look into, four of em could drive fourty four hours a day.

If keeping equipment and freight on par with one anuther is a goal of the company, then....i'd hope the contractors are intelligent enough to keep the dock cleared of freight. If not there'll be whining soon of toooo many trucks, again i'd imagine. Seems to me that with contractors hanging...

Have typed it a few times before, but here goes again. There are a lot more players out there than games to play!!

ceva has been a fairly big player in 3pl for quite a while now. Chances are, many of you have run their freight for your company and didn't know it. They prolly got tired of the layers it took to git something done, or seen this as a way of maximizing profit in the downturn. Easy is'nt always...

Charlee, i'll suggest it'll be the ones who are moving "enough" freight at an acceptable rate. It will be the ones still running down the road with 2-3 buks a mile. Chances are it won't be the ones with no pain toy trucks, no pain git a few skids at one stop an run, and no pain wait for the...

Best I can answer is... the sales people attempt to put together an economy unit. Taller, wider, longer, heavier truck, more axles costs money. Also they and the prospect have been sold a bill of goods for years bout expediting, go git 3-4 skids an go down the road. Too many "don't wanna"...

The bad guys are always a problem, bout anywhere. Kinda like freight...ya never know. I always kept MYSELF safe. Also, served the bad guys a bit of a notice on the side of the cab that announced I don't call 911.

Well now, being on the road extensively, sleeping (in your expensive) equipment in cold weather is not what I call any kind of sacrafice, It comes with the package. If those issues cause you to think "premium" then...... Whom held a gun to your head that caused you to spend "high dollah"...

Actually I smoke Camel shorts, if that helps? Yer employment prospects actually are without question! Can't imagine taking a load with more dh than the miles,,,, unless?? I'd have to say tho (jes guessing) that turning down (A) load once in a while like that should still give ya a 90+% rate...

There ya go "experts", the door's open. Drop him a question. Ya may jes learn sump'in bout sump'in, from the newb. But nah, what could you learn from him???

yepper, a 67% (or worse) acceptance rate???? No wonder they're wanting to cull the herd. Y'all couldn't work with me a month. Having typed that, I gotta hand it to ya, yer the best thing since sliced bread for the partner carriers. No wonder there is so much freight out there.

There are some worse than him. Many seem to be fleet owners. There is a good chance, that in this environment, business sense, don't wannas, and won't do, done him in. Dunno?

Ouchee! Dave, ya might lose some finger skin on this one. Wonder'in if you'll splain?

Layout, i'll try and answer from MY perspective. We are all dealt a hand of cards in life. Some hands are good, some not so good. As unfortunate as it is, your bride it seems didn't get very good ones. Don't ask other folks to bet on your brides cards, cause i'm sure she wouldn't bet on mine.

witness, it'll amaze you what you'll have to splain to many folks that visit here, and actually just how little many understand about their profession. Most of the time it just won't be worth your time to try and articulate by typing. Like you, I don't need a full 70 all the time, as long as 8...
