we are not in a mileage business,expedite is a high revenue low mileage business,but it does take a team to survive i am an e unit owner,i can only estimate what tractor drivers make,and since i can only judge with my own truck,if you dont net 60k after all your expenses,your turning the wrong...

you didnt say if you were running team or single,as a single,in a d unit,your income may be much less than desired,as a team,your income will be much more,after expenses even though the average load in expedite is around 450 miles,between dead head and the dot hours of service,it is hard to have...

One thing you forgot to mention,the expedite revolving door.Not everyone is cut out for the expedite business,yes we can be replaced,but us that have been at it awhile,have seen the expedite grow and grow and grow,and even when the t/l carriers try to do our work,it doesnt get done as well...

I disagree,why use your money,use your uncle sams money,if you do good you pay taxes if not so good, no taxes, if you loose,its total right off,the more i can put on truck note,the better i like it. And i dont buy used,that can be your biggest downfall,payment and repairs,equal to much down...

Not to get smart with you,but if I had to ask what my payment should be,you might want to hook up with an owner,drive their truck,and get some expediting experiance then your useing someone elses money to learn,not yours there lots of pit falls you can get into. Personally I'm not into used...

lots of ways to get on line most of the time you can park near a motel and get on free,and i have tractor trailer,but if i cant find a free site, then i go to my friendly TSA, use my points card and sign in there. If I can figure out how to do this,you should be able,I'm not a geek,but i do...

Oh and as far as w/g lock,just check and see if locked,they wil remove it if you ask,might give you a hard time but they will remove it

kid -7 you didnt say what size unit you have I'm in an E unit,was in the 1st w/g class that roberts expres had,and as a tracor trailer team,the actual pay wasnt any different than if you were just in surface expedite,EXEPT,back then you had more run offers, cause it was like being two companies...

i cant say for d units,they sit so often,but our e units are very busy and the 60 40 is best way to go myself i dont have generator,i do spend nights in motel rather than idle truck,my mileage is 7/gal,i run about 35% dh and i still avg 1.59 per all miles and my net income is higher than i care...

t hawk even though im not with multiple trucks any longer,it is still the best way to go,if they get good fuel mileage its a bonus in their pockets,if not well they need to slow down BUT this is important to the drivers,they need to check about how the trucks fuel mileage is,if it sucks then...

in making him contract labor a must is that HE IS ON HIS OWN he must agree to not saying you tell him anything,and a contract is pretty easy just put in it that he is responsible for his taxes,has the right to offer his services to someone else,but should have, that he needs to give notice of...

dave, it was purely not wanting to drag fed ex thru the mud,im not interested in recruiting him as he is an owner,and it seems like whom ever he has been talking with is not giving him all the pros and cons sorry if i wanted to talk in private,and as far as the percentage split with fed ex i...
