There is a billboard on westbound 80/94 somewhere between I-65 and the split advertising a special offer for vasectomies: Get One Side Done The Other Side Is Free

It is a D.O.T. rule. I have been with Panther for six years and have had two randoms. Nine years with my previous carrier netted two randoms. It is suppose to be a luck of the draw thing, I never got the call while under load and never when sitting out in the boonies. I'm in a van so it...

I thought the 2008 truck strike solved all of our problems. http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/30676-truck-strike-rumor-fyi.html

Boil the hot dog in a pan of water and you get a third meal, wiener water soup.

I think you're right!

If they were flown around the world, wouldn't they have ended up where they started? Sounds like a much better deal than Motorola's. Instead of flying bloggers, Motorola flung boogers.

It happened twice today. Maybe six hours apart, two different people told me to have a nice day. The first person to tell me to have a nice day was a dispatcher. He called and offered me a load. The mileage seemed to be a bit shy. I was at my computer so I punched it up on PCMiler. 30...

"Like the drink, only spelled different."

If your carrier charges a fuel surcharge and pays you a fuel surcharge, then a fuel surcharge is part of the bottom line. Don't get hung up on this fsc thing. You don't get paid an fsc, so don't worry about it. The OP who started this thread asked about fuel surcharges. Hopefully he found an...

Why a lease/purchase?

Mike, love the picture of you holding that little mouse's hand. What Photo Shop program did you use to get that statue effect?

I have never been to Disneyland, but love Disneyworld. We went two years ago sans kids and still had a blast! We plan on taking our grand daughter in a few years, she's only 15 months old now. Until that time, we will do some reconnoitering this winter, just to make sure everything is cool.

Gary, does your carrier have customers of their own? I think you may be only seeing this from the perspective of an owner leased to a small carrier working bid boards where the bidders bid a total price for the load. Nice and simple. But many carriers have their own customers and published...

Off to St. Paul for the last day of the Minnesota State Fair, ya, you betcha.

Revenue is one thing, but it isn't all that matters. In 1998, with my previous carrier, I got .96/ loaded mile, no fsc. Today, with my current carrier, I get .77/ loaded mile and this past week, .25 fsc. That's a $1.02/ loaded mile. I can proudly state that I am getting better revenue per my...

I'm guessing your carrier is probably charging their customers a fuel surcharge. You are probably reaping some, if not all of that fsc, but it isn't being broken down separately, you see it as your percentage of the total charges.

Kinda scary isn't it! Somehow I got the Babylon tool bar on my desk top pc. I think a downloaded a program and didn't pay close attention to several terms that I clicked "agree" to. My fault. I don't care for the Babylon tool bar and hate the Babylon search function. I would like to...

That's all well and good, but as Zorry pointed out, how fast can your carrier adjust to a sudden fuel price spike? When I was in LTL, Con-Way Central Express adopted a FSC program. This was in the late 80's. It was similar to what other large LTL carriers used. At that time the purpose of a...

I'd be happy with a Hostess Ding Dong.
