    Roadcheck 2008

    Sadly, it's still a violation. Seems if you will take care of the details, the big stuff just seems to fall in place.

    Roadcheck 2008

    Well yes, seems it takes a fanatic to be sucessful in this business there ice. Seems if you don"t wanna some times on a short fuse, you'll sit for a while. Oh well, some'll learn an some won't. We all might find it's not a perfect world with sunshine and 68 everyday. But, you still can be...

    Roadcheck 2008

    It's worse than sad there pelican, but, a fact of life it seems these days. The only problem I had with a "reward" was i figgured one of the clowns, one day would be short a hunnerd bucks and stop at a scalehouse and ask for an inspection when they wern't ready. Luckily, it didn't happen.

    You can use many types of equipment in this biz. We used a Jeep Liberty for one move in Florida last winter. How many of you have picked up an envelope and placed it in the right stick seat of a straight truck to get the job done??

    Roadcheck 2008

    Sounds good to me there jw. Buttt, there is a fella mentioned on a nuther thread, that has been with seven carriers in a short period. There are many like that. Makes little difference to them about a lease. It's about short term gain a lot of instances, not a career, like for many more. As...

    Roadcheck 2008

    Wake up there caffee! Many don't own the truck, so, therefor, don't care. And, others, that own the truck, don't care. Just a paycheck in the short term is what matters, most. And, the "truck" is only part of the equation for a successful level one. To me, it's actually good business to...

    Driving for a Fleet Owner

    OVM. Seems you'd make a dandy fleet owner. Why don't you just go buy a half dozen trucks, and field them?? You'd find out in short order "what they need an owner or manager" for. Do it, do it, do it. I dare you.
