    Good carrier relationship??

    To me the ideal Carrier would: 1. Pay at least 75% of gross revenue. 2. Not charge any qualcom or, workmans comp,or anything. 3. Allow me to book my own loads, and go where I wanna go. 4. Allow me to charge the customer what the market will bear for rates and additional charges. 5. Have...

    Questioning 60/40 split for contractors

    EASY, isn't always mo betta. Idling is foolish. There are ALWAYS better places to spend your waiting time than setting in a truck, at a Truck Stop looking out the window. Parks offer neat places to be in the summer. Winter, malls by the fountain seem to ring a bell. Spending yourself broke...

    Questioning 60/40 split for contractors

    There will ALWAYS be debate for and against whom does what to whom in this business. The best policy (i've found) is to never own more trucks than you can drive yourself at the same time. Problem solved. Havin typed that.... i'm "kinda" looking around for someone to take over the truck I...

    Charlotte, da Buff is a long way for someone to get across the border and squat, as such. Don't think there is any revelance there. Now, if an illegal has a birthing difficulty and get to a Buff hospital for care, or no difficulty, in she goes with our arms wide open (seemingly). I'd say...

    Well boy, for the ones that want to do it easy and not pay attention, there has ALWAYS been too many trucks in this business. There were too many (according to some) ten years ago. Depends, do you want to go camping? Run to race your car? Run to pay the bills? Or, Expedite for a career...

    Load Lock Bar Question

    Look pretty weak there India. Looks like they'd be pretty bendy with a little weight behind them and a quick brake. I'd stick with e-trac.

    Thats refreshing. Point is..... you can't believe how trivial "important" things are to someone. I personnaly read of a fella dead heading from MA to OH to race his car last weekend. Makes little sense to me, but, i'll betca that same fella wouldn't even consider sacraficing that much (near...

    Charlotte, you are my kinda person. But, i'm sure Carls family is/was some more honorable (ah the old days) than what we see today. I gotta believe there is a lot of what rich mentions going on.

    QC $35 per week is certainly making someones life easier, and, is paying for some "things" besides service. Phil: $2.50 is not uncommon today. And more, however, you can't get there at 58% or whatever. Where are the millionairs? Many ##### it away, when they got hoodad rich, and couldn't...
