    Independent contractor no more?

    Being private contractor is pushing a gray area and always has.Roberts was always very careful about that gray area. Custom Critical,follows the Roberts way.Ground being on private contractor status has been very shaky for years,from the mandatory white trucks to having to be in uniform.

    Working the numbers and confused

    Before anyone gets into trucking as an owner operator,you better first figure your house hold bills.If your head over heals in debt,than you better just go to work for someone and forget being owner opp,'cause guess what?,Ya guess who caused those bills in the first place. What do you think...

    Fed dropping its standards?

    Greg,if I'm not mistaken,a pad wrap load is one of the criteria to make it W/G.There are times when a surface agent gets the call and doesn't know it. None the less,you do what ever it takes to keep the customer happy.if it's a surface load and you have the pads,make him happy and call in...

    where can I get a tvale truck

    Can you really afford to operate a T Val truck at $1.35/mile?Have you checked on amount of sitting time you will be doing? Sometimes the numbers are fooling.There are Surface expedite trucks at FDCC that make more than the T Val.trucks.There are also some T Val D units that make more than T Val...

    Fed dropping its standards?

    When I see a uniformed drive,no matter what the company,the just look more professional,do they get more loads,doubt it,but attitude does play a big deal in this business.If being in uniform,and with a good attitude,a driver may be asked in preference to another driver from the same company...
