    Last two weeks

    It might also be, that if a couple weeks are that large an issue for you or, your drivers, then this may well be the time to "pull the plug". Or, take a looong hard look at where you may be better off doing things you/they don't wanna.

    Switching from Indy to Leased

    My $.02 would be that if you are not doing well as a Carrier with all the opportunity out there, your shortcommings will be multiplied as a Contractor to someone. I'd maybe look around your mode of operation a bit before taking any other action.

    Short loads are they worth it?

    Amazing! Ain't it? I guess being "outside" the box ain't all bad.

    Short loads are they worth it?

    Bruno, is this a roast goose question?? Yer "not gonna tie your truck up to help the customer or company"?? Yer correct. They prolly won't call with the 800 miler if ya can't cover the 100 miler. Aino roast goose.

    Have you ever been accused of being homeless.

    Yep. Most of the time that'll do it there Fast. Kinda interesting how they don't have a sense of humor bout tings. I guess their momma's didn't teach them to share. We are bout to get homeless with the camping machine in a couple weeks. I love that feeling. Boldly going nowhere in...

    FSC and publicly traded companies

    I guess I don't understand the issue with here is 62%. If it is not enough--don't run it. Pretty simple. why worry about who's doing what to whom. Getting into a contract in this dynamic business has to be suicide. I certainly wouldn't do it. Take each day as it comes, because like the...

    FSC and publicly traded companies

    I have never been a believer in a FSC. I had anticipated when some Companys started charging a seperate charge for fuel that it would open a can of worms for everyone involved. It would be much simpler to just quote a value to move the freight, pay your contractor whatever the percentage is...

    Speed Limiters

    I know, I know, i'm stewpid. However, seems to me it makes no difference whom sets the limit, as long as it is set. If ya wanna go to Canada once in a while i'd be looking for an alternative to being locked in to a certain speed. I never ran fast myself as a rule, however, once in a while...

    Speed Limiters

    Piper, that be good advice. Really good advice. However, many (read most) these clowns couldn't or wouldn't spend a couple hunnert to make a few hunnert more. Jes the nature of the beast. An the roast goose thing. I continue to be amazed.

    Well here we go with the first timer questions!!!

    Depends. Depends on the high dollar of the equipment. Depends on the willingness of the driver/s to git r done. Depends on if or not the two unrelated drivers have a goal, or they are in it for a job. A lot depends. An Leo, we still don't care bout the owner.

    Well here we go with the first timer questions!!!

    Jes because you don't have a QC, you don't have to run outside regulations. Jes means you can get full benefit of your eleven or fourteen. Whichever comes first. And full benefit of your time means a lot in this business. Don't believe I typed anything bout "creative" or any such thing...

    Well here we go with the first timer questions!!!

    Don't tink he asked what is better for the owner. That concern usually is waaaay down on the list of concerns for folks. And yes, stay away from qualcom equipped trucks. It's a monthly/weekly expense that'll really cost you more than the fees.

    Well here we go with the first timer questions!!!

    My experience with this subject is much different (as usual) than anyone elses. We ran both costs from the midwest routinely as single drivers. HOS is not as large an anchor as many make it. You can drive 11 hours a day. Depending on the States you can run 700 or better each day. Hone your...

    Anyone ever lose a load because they had a pet in the truck with them?

    On the question of where to leave the truck, seems you doged the bullet with your Bro. Seems to me the school book answer to a challenge like that would be "depends". Depends, on how far ya wanna walk home. Depends, on how much you wana pay me to retrieve it.
