    Again ..... cents per mi vs dollars .... You're providing a premium service! It's not about your operating cost cpm ... If you can run a little leaner than most, great ... you should make that additional profit on top of your earnings ... Is your operating cpm really just fuel ...?

    I'm gonna state this bluntly & in a rather crass manner ..... I never really liked this analogy, because I don't mean to be insensitive towards others .. but here goes ... Apologies if this offends anyone .... Most owner/ops work for their pimps .... I've always had the viewpoint that my pimps...

    Low prices are killing this month!ppl bending over like crazy!

    I feel this is confusing the issue ....... Why split it into 2? All I care about is my overall rate per mi. The carriers I work with don't pay FSC, so I never got fat on the FSC. Now that the FSC was pulled out from beneath most .... they need to pray for fuel to spike again? Saudi Arabia isn't...

    Are you really telling me that you believe customers are paying less for freight because fuel prices have declined?

    Low prices are killing this month!ppl bending over like crazy!

    I ended last week with a 1,500 mi run from southern Cali to Houston - 1 pc - 1,000 lbs - .90 per mi. My carriers know how much I'll do a run for because I've drawn a solid line in the sand. One that I haven't budged from. What most owner/ops can't wrap their silly, feeble minds around is that...

    Truck driver needs to be identified and arrested.

    I saw this video when it was first posted, but something just dawned on me ..... My little Snapper lawnmower has an engine cut off switch that's activated when the blades are engaged & the weight is lifted off the seat. It's a safety feature. Basically if I'm cutting grass on a steep slope & my...

    Chrysler laying off 1300.

    I'm not sold that this result is directly fuel related. What's the common factor between the top 5 companies on the chart in the following article? Maybe the Chrysler products just simply suck! Tesla’s Model 3 Is Already Shattering Expectations

    Green diesel Sprinter tune

    I've often wondered about the Green Diesel tunes .... I've read the stuff on Sprinter-Source before, but was always curious how it would perform in the expediting environment. If you get it installed, please share your thoughts on it. Great video ...

    IMHO ..... you are GROSSLY undervaluing yourself & the services you provide! Go reread J Mueller's post from earlier this week, you might not have made it to the bottom ... Owner Operators and drivers still need to be a Businessman first and a Driver second. This is especially true in today's...

    Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe #2 refers to XPO. From my experience that would be true. I think 350rocket was just trying to be coy .... I apparently don't have that filter.
