Now that the venue has changed from the Detroiter, i'm going to try and make it also. Believe i'll bring the camping machine, and vedge a couple days.

That's good Jack. You're right there are way too many unknowns. However, I'd like to read some possible solutions from our new poster. If, in his view dh was THAT stupid, he could share with some less stupid, or even better, profitable solutions. One thing for sure in this business - Thay...

Greg: Me, and my 31 years appreciate, really appreciate your thanks.

No, no. I asked YOU the question! I'm looking for YOUR solution.

Jack my boy, what would you suggest that wouldn't be stupid??

Some folks place more emphasis on their holidays than others. Friday one of my contractors turned down a load from central Illinois to South Carolina paying $1700, a direct delivery, and then dead headed to Louisville. Not too bright in my book. But, that is an extreem need to grill and...

Yep, like our equipment, Freightliner Argosy's with 30 foot van bodys, THE Ultimate Expediter.

Yep, looks like a money making truck to me. Light, efficient, economical. simple. If you want to go camping. Get a Winnebago.

That is a nice middle of thr road Leo. And, i'm only trying to help also, only i'm just a little more sage than you. I see that our complainer is a driver for a contractor. I also read he has not been getting much freight. Now, suppose this is not the first requested nap, or whatever has...

No Joe, I'm THE fella that causes the puppets to dance.

Well actually, the freight is the CUSTOMERS first love. Seems most folks leave the customer out of the math, and spear chuck for the Company. Ya gotta understand, the customer is paying you, not the Company. Seems it's a game of gotta. Your sales people gotta make promises to get the freight...

Yes, I agree young, however, whats the difference if he was at the dock, or, setting at the truckstop watching TV for 6 hours before loading? Wake time is wake time. Does it make us more tired standing on a dock awake, or, watching TV awake. For me it's watching TV. You know.

This to me, sounds like coffee table BS. Why would you type it, getting it second hand, or first without any facts like who, what, why, etc. Who knows what motivates this type of thing, or, if it is a fact. Sounds like hearsay to me. Dunno

Well the way I see it, that is why we get paid the big bucks Jarhead, to place some kind of importance on the freight that allows us to eat and live indoors. I don't own any penny loafers but, I do shuffle plenty of paper, drive both the desk and trucks. Been where the rubber meets the road...

What ever you think. Or need. Or think you need.

Yep, 110" windshield to camper back. Stand up, walk to bed, two nice wide bunks, lots of storage, good ride, hell of a team truck, if, you don't want to go camping, only. I love it.

Absolutely, drivers, and or contractors should get 100% for finger printing freight. NOT 100% of 60%, or, 60% or 60%. We've had folks that have made more unloading than hauling the freight. We charge a nickle a pound. The problem is, I feel, it's all about money. Not Service. Way too many...

I feel a $80,000 truck is a working machine not a camping machine, don't feel you need much more than that, if, you want to move freight. I had a couple stick their nose up in the air toward my 110" double bunk condo, because it didn't have a sink and shower in it this week. Also, I have...

I guess i'm wondering why someone can't run for $1.50 per mile. If they don't have a "need for speed" and pay attention for other details that should be a very good living. Fuel with the right equipment should cost somewhere around $.30 per mile, equipment cost for an $80,000 truck should be...

We been paying 75% for a few years now. www.fostertrucking.com
