99 dolla? What a bargan!! Can you imagine how happy the shipper {would be} if there quote were {actually} about $150, to have a man and equipment on call at their demand at that price?? Think about it. KW there are too many of em. An remember, at BEST odds, 30% don't get the message.

For those of you still in la la land on this subject, the "push come to shove" statement is extremely valid. In fact, the situation does not have to get that dire, for the tru colors to fly. Granted, this is from someone that has worked and lived with em extensively (in) the mid east, but, ya...

That is too bad with that kind of effort. Just clarification for many that you cannot support that Ivory Palace and all the high dollar clowns that come with it. Not to mention the stockholders, outside things like qualcom etc. Escrow accounts are anuther thing, had your predecesors played...

Don't think you are missing anything there pj. Most that are drawn to this are not business people, or, don't play well with others(don't like punching a clock or, supervision), like to screw the pooch when they can. Those types that are used to managing on what you quoted. The ones with some...

Yes and, look at all of em planning on going to the truck show. I'd suggest if you are going for other than entertainment, don't. If you are going to take time off to sit in a parking lot with your peers, you are really foolish. You can do that each day in truck stops all around the...

In? Out? What difference does that make? If there is a history of an average 3-4 MPG when it's sunny and 70, how'd you like to get the fuel bill? That kinda behavior is simply cutting into YOUR bonus at the end of the year. Nuther reason for you fleet owners to put contractors on 60% and give...

Not pick'in, jes wondering what the general grey matter process is on that subject. Don't really matter to me cause i'm not in the market. I wuz jes wonder'in, what?

Be a lot like picking the Powerball, but, some things... Age of the fleet miles on equipment are drivers cowboys? Y/N % idle general tire condition heavy loads Maybe someone like Ryder could help more

Where is ericmoss when you need him?? He might be able to justify something like this away also.

DD Why, only the bigger carriers???

Whatever. Just remember, IF they are going to be successful, they WILL be, or, they won't be, regardless if it's your truck or theirs. I'd suggest you make them prove themselves before you get into any contract purchase agreement. Do what ya gotta do.

Frequent, required inspections of the equipment by you WILL be required to insure you don't get total junk back, WHEN you get it back. Without SOME investment there really is no incentive for them to "keep on keep'in on" when things get a little tuff. No investment makes it real easy to walk...

Sounds like he is off to a good start for "next weeks" paycheck. Maybe he'll hit $16-1800, problem is, he won't remember the $1800, just the $475. Both ya need to start averaging over a 2-3 or more month period, maybe you'll feel better about things. Like your ground business, there isn't any...

Well Iceroad, some WANT paid by the mile, some WANT paid by percentage. I paid my drivers 40% of CARRIER gross, and still don't work. Only way it'd work is to pay them to stay home, prolly work for a while till they screwed themselves out of a spot at the dinner table, then they'd need a...

There will ALWAYS be a hunnerd reasons why they need to go home. In your case, "he has to pay the rent", how pathetic. There seems to be no time management used by most. DH a few hunnerd miles to pay rent, aunts birthday, get the watch cleaned, go to the bank, whatever happened to using a...

I have found it best by far, to never own more trucks than you can drive by yourself at the same time. There will be a never ending amount of heartburn with a clown or clownette running around the country in your truck. And, that is after you get them to show up, and get started. Seems after...

I don't know about dat "screwing a Caribou " stuff, but, i'm not from Alaska either. Who is Glenn Beck? And, what is his stake in all of this?

rlent, you are kinda funny. And when you can't explain it away any more, don't try to splain it to me, cause I won't be having any. Been there, seen it, done it, don't believe it. Thems some fools.

OK. Those of you that have made A contact to a SHIPPER to place freight on your truck, keep whining. Those of you that have not, please dont post further. Lets see whom has whining rites. There is a difference you know.

Some a yous guys are typing like Chuckiewagon. Maybe give him a call, he might be able to enlighten you on some facts of life these days. Bet he won't encourage a strike now tho.
