    the winds of war are a blowing

    Thats it Dave. The folks that wanna do it "for themselves" will. To expect that, getting rid of drivers with "driver" attitudes, and contracting with owner operators with "driver" attitudes IS a recipe for some interesting times. Seems someone at Towne Air had a wet dream. Me think they'll...

    Help on Double Team pay!

    If that wuz the first thing he asked, you may want to consider leaving him at home. I pay, 60% of gross, minus fuel cost, drivers split remainder. 5K load, drivers get 60% or 3K, minus fuel (say $875), drivers split $2125. Then you get to split the next load too, IF he isn't barn sour an...

    Truckers UNwelcome

    Sounds like a kid working the parents. First the front desk clerk, then a cafe employee. Maybe try THE manager, or, ring Oscar hisselfs bell. Probably been a different outcome. Don't pay to deal with the worker bees.

    Bombay, They are class 8 equipment, not fl70 class equipment. If the auto steps are an issue, just disable them. How do you spose ANYTHING with a 25ft plus wheelbase would ride?? Not to mention the quad airride.

    Dunno to the precise inch. Don't matter much, all thats behind the seats is lots of storage, a closet, a place for TV, fridge, two large bunks. All I know there is way more room than I could ever use. Seats swivel, so you can use about a hunnerd of the hunnerd ten. The flat floor is what...

    Dock high required

    That is precisely the way to do it Charles, in an RV. But, before you get there, it dosen't matter if you are dependent or independent, you will only be able to haul what your equipment will provide for service. If, you run onto an inexperienced truck orderer, or dispatcher you are outa luck...
