sorry marvin,it had to do with some of your earlier posts,they were off the wall

that was fed ex ground as most are treated as employees

Your starting to crack me up.Your making as much sence as Mr. IRT.You change companies and within just a couple of weeks you know all there is about that company,and expect everyone to follow you there.Now your suggesting non of us know the difference from an owner opp and a company driver.I...

When I was at Con-Way Now the tractors were on a flat rate $1.05 per mile loaded or empty,and we didnt give any miles away.That was for all dispatched miles.The actual revenue was a far cry from the money we were paid.The year after I started there, sometimes we even got a fsc,but we did so many...

As said,before leaving shipper,both parties need to talk about where they are stopping,directions they are going,and most of all the speed they will drive.At $4.00 per gallon,when I do an escort load,if the other party cant agree on the speed,then I call dispatch and either find another...

Well the test will be this week end against Wisconsin.Guess we cant forget Penn State either.Penn State beat Oregon State,who in turn took out USC.But remember,USC had a week off to prepare for US and we didnt have Beanie,plus our freshman QB is getting better and better

Dave I'm with you,It soounds to me that its a money issue

Are you sure the drivers originally faxed the paperwork to the right number?I did mine last month,the next morning when I made my usual call in,the computer no longer told me i had paper work do.I know in the past,paperwork has been lost,including logs,sometimes drives me crazy,but that can...

This idea sounds just crazy enough to possibly work, so naturally it won't be given serious consideration. How great is our bureaucracy!! I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG. In stead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend. To make...

If you take a load at face value,then when your told where to layover,you may not have enough revenue from that load, but to only go where you layover option is.Before I accept a load,I know where I'm going to layover,and thats before FECC tells me,whether its a layover place that DVA would want...

A D unit 20'box with sleeper and team will do very well out of Chicago Area.You should have no problem keeping very busy

Subtract the fsc and see what the revenue was in 2007,and do the same in 2008,then you can tell the difference.just figure your gross.By figuring your gross ,you will be able to compare one to the other.With having multiple trucks,and of course more drivers,as each driver drives differently...

As the A team suggests,what is great for one person can be the pits for another.In the past,Ive had a truck with Panther,and also Try Hours, not to mention Con-Way Now.I'm still trying to get my head out of the sand from when I was at Con-Way Now.I'm not going to go into the problems with any of...

Why dont you count your dead head miles?it's part of your expenses

What size truck,are you going run team or solo,but what ever the case anything in a 100 mile radius of chicago will keep you real busy

almost every TA truck stop is a ftl service center

Thats not my truck,my truck has painted fuel tanks and different color fenders,but thanks anyway,eyes doing great

I agree some what,but in my case,this year is doing better than last year,and i'm not talking 'cause the fsc is higher.When I take out the fsc for this year and last,my actual revenues are better this year,even though the economy is slow.My run count is up,'cause I'm doing shorter runs that pay...

Bruno has a chance to compare apples to apples,as its the same person driving the same truck for 2 different companies.You cant compare two companies with 2 different drivers and different size trucks,but we should all learn from the comparison here,but just 1 month won't tell the story.Tell me...

I have given up pay information myself.As far as I'm concerned,he hasnt been at Panther long enough to really have a good comparison.Ive been off for a month now,I had my new co-driver run the truck for 1 week,and because of circumstances,I had him dead head home this week,and thats the reason...
