What's the price difference there between the Ford and the $printer ? Is the FSC the same ?

That's a problem in other sectors too.. At Trailer Transit, if you had a ball hitch, pintle hook, or electric brakes, they'd run around you to "save" you for that special load. The upside is those things were scarce enough to pay a big premium. Most of the dispatchers would be straight enough...

That's what I like about my D. I do D loads, C loads, and B loads ( at straight truck rate,of course. )

Wouldn't a Flyin Van be driven by an aviator ?

It'd be the driver's choice. Keep moving or wait. :) If I had to break even on 25% of the loads, paying L&T rate on cv loads, and it kept my fleet of L&T under my signage and profitable, we all win.. Maybe not my wife. Her company car wouldn't be a Mercedes. Unless I got her a $printer. And...

If I was a carrier I think my philosophy would be long and tall would always be first out before cv. Keep those guys with the bigger investment moving all the time. If you want to lease on your cv, and you feel my stuff is plentiful enough and good enough, come on. I'm gonna move my long and...

Back in 71, the year I entered trucking, my father was in management of an LTL carrier. I remember him telling me they need $100 to pu up a shipment, $100 to deliver a shipment, plus $1 per mile. This a general idea on LTL. I do know I hauled one pallet, (two full trls) from Chgo to Dallas...

To put a value on a driver's time. My bro called me today and told me he just went up to $26.85 per hour. 1.5 x after 40. And he doesn't even have a vehicle to add to the equation.

26 years with one carrier. Wow. Congratulations. Must have been some good there, from both sides. At least you waited until after your big 25 year anniversary gala . :)

That may be how he came up with 28 mpg ???

There,fixed it for you. :)

Mason to Warren. 85 miles on my map. :(

$60 mini ? Are you a courier or an expediter ? Sorry, I was shocked. Thought you left a digit off. How many people do stuff under $150 ? $100 ?

How about a lounging robe ?

The problem is if you got in 20 years ago it had already gone down hill so much that it didn't have much further to go.

BTW, you are right. I almost put it there. Then I thought it was kind of general. See post 5.

Do you hear that from veteran drivers or just from old geezers ? :) :) :) :)

That song was going thru my head as I typed the title. I was going to try and spell the guitar rift, but gave up quickly. :)

I always identified with Joe Walsh I've always been crazy But it's kept me from going insane

How about a Book Title, Name of a Song, of Movie Title that best describes you ? Me? Happy Together. Because I'm so happy with my wife.
