RE: Toyota plant in Buffalo, WV-- Beware expediter I can't imagine anyone backing with such a velocity that one would do much more than some minor sheet metal damage, let alone tear support legs loose. Maybe the thread should be renamed to - Beware DOCKS, here I come.

Yes Mule there are. And, you missed your chance with us last summer. Sorry.

I don't know about the number 700. However, there was recently a large number of trucks floating around, and, a lot of people knew about them. The vast majority settled in with Ma and Pa's it seems. I have noticed a lot less whining on this site lately, for some reason.

Started reading about this load early on 6 Dec, it's now late 8 Dec. Is this a LTL load or expedited? Hope someone in a hospital is not getting cold because they dont have heat.

Not all things you don't understand, or have not asked the questions are a "rip off". Seems things worthwile are not "automatic/immediate gratification" Unfortunately!! Pass your info on so's others won't have to post a nuther "I got screwed" post.

We don't do dispatcher ride alongs because our dispatchers have many, many windshield miles under their belt. However, we have tried the reverse and attempted O/O or, driver dispatch to enable them to get a fix on the big picture. Unfortunately, this don't work either. I believe it's called...

Access to Large Accounts, with the deep discount requirement is available to most anyone in the business if, one chooses to go there. We don't. HOS rules changes will "wipe some out"? Maybe, if one does not addapt and overcome.

That is certainly an uninformed/uneducated statement that "small Carriers don't have the customer base". Can't imagine why, if you don't know, why you'd type it. Seems most of the "experts" on this site have "one dimensional" experience from which they draw, and spew their wisdom of this...

RE: Where's the freight? Yes, it was a little slow. We only ran IN to MA and MA to TN and loaded for TX with one truck and PA to NJ and NJ to MA and MA with a 2 stopper to KY and MO with the other. Still a little early to be whin'in about slow.

The worse team I had working with me, was a H/W team from alabama. They had that twenty one day syndrome. Instead of taking a couple days off in week one, or, week two, when they were close to home, they'd head for home on day 21 no matter where they were, NW, NE, SW, or close to alabama. If...

Here we go again, already. One bad week is six months, and we're whin'in. I'm wondering by your post, if, you didn't get a single offer, or, a single offer You considered decent?? If you did get offers, please share with us your perception of "decent".

RE: Broom made a response about what your time is Yes Rich, and as the fleet expanded, came more and more of em that just wanted to screw the pooch and eventually, being good to the Contractors had to go away.

You know, i'm reading the same old ##### on here. What's in it for Meeeeeeee! I guess i'll join for insurance, i guess i'll join for some other discount. Not for being part of something. Just me.

I don't feel anyone is bashing either, just giving oppinions as the mop flops. Mine is, placing 170K in a truck is s t e w p i d.

Obviously, a liftgate and refer would help with some runs and gross revenue. However, the only way to hit a revenue floor is be available, and, do the windshield time. BTW this pikk'in crap on here is getting really, really, old. If you choose to pick crap about "something" not "someone"...

That was good of her. Now, you being the Company, you can stay anywhere you choose, and, thats good. Bee safe.

Well streakin if you must be upity. I'm at a full blown Holiday Inn at Tewksbury, MA for 37.50. You don't need to be an OOIDA member just call Corporate Lodging Consultants. I prefer Holiday Inn stayed in one in Burbank, CA bout a month ago.

On another note for this subject. I purchased a truck from the classifieds here on 21 sep 06. Double bunk Condo, Generator, liftgate for 14K. This morning I delivered in Boston and the truck was paid for during this run. Now, my time wasn't worth anything during this month, but, imagine what...

RE: Broom made a response about what your time is The main reason new start up business fail, is because the business owner places way too much value on their time. I will suggest that a business owners time is not worth anything. Making assets pay off should be the goal rather than setting...

JACOB: It is certainly slimm out there. Unfortunately, way too many of the "experienced folks" have been hosed, either by an owner or, a Carrier. This presents an attitude of "ya this is just another sham" and they don't do well, even given a grand opportunity. Takes them too long to figgure...
