    Put a shower/toilet in? hard?

    Seems to me yer money'd be spent as inteligently, using a therapist to rid you of your pfobia of public places. Hell, you may find a good look'in one that wants to escape the rat race and go with you.

    60/40 revisited?

    You math is good there Vinnie. But ya gotta understand, it's that roast goose thing again. I have a driver doing the 30% thing. Truck does 3-5 K a week consistently, and, he does 9-1500C consistently. Thats pretty decent money in my book. But, he does it the old fashoned way...--- he earns...

    Expediters Going Hungry, For Real

    I don't think anyone is advocating running for less than is desired consistently. Periodicly, making a move for less than desired, IS good business. Depending, on the where's, what's, of your particular instance. Even the naysayers of "cheap" freight, have taken "cheap" freight (to get home...

    You Be The Carrier

    Jeff and fast, don't bother bantering with em. They don't get it. And if they did get it, they wouldn't have the gumption or kahoonas, to start it or finish it. Enjoy what you are doing, and stay away from contractors and drivers.

    Expediters Going Hungry, For Real

    Maybe. But to continue the no no load saga. To Drivers: We all wanna start out with the top dollah. But, with any new association we anticipate it aint gonna happen. Takes time. More than 3-4 weeks to show you can take care of equipment, play well with others, be profitable, etc. When...

    Expediters Going Hungry, For Real

    Yessir, I understand. However, our memorys get short sometimes. As a way to reinforce to the folks that you have to know where you been, to maybe understand where you wanna go, i did a little checking into how we got to that no no load. Lafayette, IN to Dallas, tx 968 mi @$1700 or $.26...
