    But Leo, i'm not touchy feeley. I'm not here to help, i'm here to type my observations. If they can't pick the fly crap from the pepper, no one can help them. Even you. Being on the Contractor board and all.

    I weren't pointing it at the fed fleet owners, I wuz just pointing it. As far as i'm concerned WG is no different (except for refer). I will go on record as stating, why pay the fed five bucks a mile for a sensitive load, when I could do it better for four. We were wayyy nimble, as compared...

    I may be completely off base, but, I feel the days of non-operator contractors may be ending (read fleet owners). With the percieved needed high dollar equipment, extremely excessive repair rates, big fuel bills, and, seemingly everone in the chain (drivers and owners) expecting to live beyond...

    Well Beemer, I gotta admit there wuz nothing at all typed with your handle preceding it. Those are observations. However, IF any of the shoes fit you........ I don't run around in those circles any longer, so our opportunity to have a chance meeting is pretty slim, I will keep your...

    If you read it at all, I believe you recieved some "real world" suggestions. Simply put, to my way of thinking there is nowhere you can go with that camping machine and get a "warm and fuzzy" feeling. Don't surprise me at all that the sprinters are grossing more than that one. If there were a...

    Yessir. Depends on the Cowboy, and the equipment the Cowboy has, that don't wanna be lost as an asset for service. It is a simple concept, tho many will never get it. And, there are those that you type that provide bottom feeder rates, that hit a homerun outbound and run back to within a few...

    I hate to burst your bubble there Dave, but, double or tripple + is more common than you know. Conversely, i've had numerous instances where your carrier under bid me. A good omen that they are actually looking out for you schmoes. Now, all you have to do is realize that fact, and capitalize...

    That's it in a nutshell. Da baggage will kill ya. Ya gotta be nimble. When the phone rings you answer it each time every time. If the price is right, the customer has a truck, right then. No calling/message sending, time eating, *** kissing, or, cajoleing to get a load covered. It's a done...

    If more people had the healthy attitude you have about this business, they also could be successful. Many that enter here won't or can't wait quarterly to see how tings a shaking out. Many tink it may be their salvation toward that million dollah plan to pull them up by the bootstraps. Won't...
