Is there really enough money to hire a driver in a cargo van,and be able to pay him or her for driving it,or do you just use it as a tax write off

Putting a tie down strap on the outside of the rub rail, doesn't give as secure a hold as putting it under,and although you may never rub the side of the trailer, and cut a strap,you never know when it cold happen.I don't know anyone that will not change their tie down straps at least every...

Dave,I'm on a regular 100% fsc program now,and at the end of the week,when I figure all my miles,the fsc pay isn't much different than when I was on the flat rate.And no I don't get fsc on empty miles

I've been in trucking for over 30 years.Most mileages are figured by what was called the house hold movers guide,and up 'til resently,most of the trruck load carriers were still using it,and those miles are so far off ,it's nuts.Skimming of the top,I don't know where your leased,but,Ive never...

This blog is getting crazy.We are now talking FSC.Ok you guys that get 100%,are you getting it on dead head miles?Bet not.Your getting, like I get,100% but only on loaded miles,and that's 100% of what's being charged to the paying customer.Since it seems that the way FDCC pays their FSC,is in...

why has Moot become in the third person.It's very confusing

there is a bill in congress that if it passes,to be a property broker,you have to have regular trucking authority,and come up with a $100000 bond.your going to have to charge more for your service than you plan on

Greg,i think the cc truck pay you figured is a little high.I don't know the calculations for a straight truck,but if that would have been a full rate tractor,pay would have been right at 1100 dollars.I assume that was a D load,and at 60% that truck pay was a little high,unless it was a DR load

OVM,your scenario is way off base.You think everyone's truck payment is end of month?The reason for 5 year rule is not about debt.Once your on,there isn't an age limit,but if your having truck problems,and your truck is older than the 5,you may be asked to trade it in

according to OOIDA,unless your lease says they pay 100% fsc,or even if you get a fsc,your company isn't obligated to even pay a fsc

Dave,in all the years I was there,thursday and friday were the busy days of the week.I would say what your missing ,is the poster isn't putting into account the dead head to pick up.I know there some loads with the discount,that would be hard to run,but a H/W team in a straight truck,could still...

Dave,some of these people putting up numbers,make things seem strange.I know my tractor rates were better than the straights,and I know there were times I was given load offers that were off the FED broker board,but unless the posters are going to put down the actual pay for loaded miles,what...

if they don't grow it,don't raise it,don't eat it,wash it down with green tea

why pay the tolls and get stuck in traffic.Run 301 from The 104 mm on 95 in va to nj,save money and miles

I don't know what Ceva pays their owner opps,but the one I did last week paid me $1122 for 477 miles.This was better than what FDCC paid me last year when I did one for them

Back in the day,believe it was 1990,I go the idea of having more than 1 truck.it was basically so I could not have to work as hard.What a laugh.!st team,H/W,came from Schneider.They dead headed home every week end,from where ever.Their pay was 30%,I paid everything.With them dead heading home...

Today is that special day that comes once a year,yes the women had their turn,now its our day.To all you fathers, HAPPY FATHERS DAY

Driving a motor vehicle is a privilege,go to court and find out just how big a privilege it is,after the judge takes it away.As far as truck driving,it's a business that you chose to support your families.You had the right to choose what ever kind of business you wanted to be in,you chose trucking.

Shooter said it best,you can turn down as many as you wish.For those that feel the system is screwing you,just go in the office,ask to be taken into dispatch,and see how the system really works.There is a set formula on how they figure the non discount rates,then certain customers get...

Dave,Over the years I've used lots of students to run with me.It's easier to train them the expedite business.I agree with you and the same household teams,but I've had husband and wife teams that weren't as productive as two guys in the truck.To put any team in a truck,then put them straight to...
