Wishing dispatch would get me movin. Im worried that this little dry spell is going to effect my ability to beat up on PreacherRich more :D

Blizzard, best wishes getting your health back. I've known 2 different drivers personally that had DVT. One is still driving, the other I havent heard from, so I dont know what happened with his condition. I know that the one who is still driving took it serious, followed the doctor's...

Ive never been that far west and there isnt much out there that Im interested in...but that would be one of them. I would love to see those redwoods one day.

The main difference was about .25-.30/mile immediate increase in linehaul rate. Another huge benefit was that C&M used practical mile routing which meant that you actually got paid for all the miles you ran. That was another reason that I refused most loads other than detroit to laredo at the...

You actually have more control over those numbers than most realize. Good linehaul rates are the backbone, but improving your fuel mileage and reducing your unnecassary empty miles can make huge impacts on those numbers as well. When I first started in a straight truck (2nd carrier), I run a...

We had one of those just across the MO border years ago. Cool place actually. It closed several years ago. The business that is there now gives a whole different meaning to "Call of the Wild".

He does that...in suit and tie even....lol

Shouldnt ovm's little square be pink?

Be careful around Alpena. Im told there are some shady characters 'round there.

I can tell you why I used .70/mile. The topic of the thread was about a carrier whom you had signed with dropped you for asking for .90/mile. That tells me that your running for less than .90/mile or else you wouldnt have agreed to whatever their lower rate was to begin with. You also made it...

In the recruiting bldg.

Just remember if you see a Moose....he can stand in the middle of the road anytime he darn well pleases :D Hey, Im told that just southeast of there you can hold out for .90/mile? John may can ya though....lol.

I have pointed that out to HS a couple times myself. He doesnt embrace reality very well?

Good Morning......sleepy heads :D Just completed yet another POD (Perfect, On-time, Delivery) in the great state of MS. After some geometric, geographical triangulation I suspect I'll be working my way towards Olive Branch :D

Zane..there is nothing wrong with what you do...or Rich for that matter. Im just pointing out that there is more profitable options out there. Take your time, do your research but dont be satisfied with cheap rates. The only winners in a cheap freight environment are the brokers/carriers who...

Here it is....you can drive 10,000 miles a month to gross what $7,000 (or less?) if you want. I'll be happy to drive less than 7,000 miles that same month for the same gross pay. Its pretty simple...figure up your cost per mile and multiply by 3,000 and you'll see how much less it would cost...

CargoMax....gasser....like me :)

I agree that I, at least, have been hard on Rich. I dont mean it so much as a slam to Rich as to the multi-carrier model. I like Rich and look forward to the day he is being paid what he is worth. So to stick to the original topic of the thread. What should one do when a carrier, any carrier...

Yeah...well, there was that...lol I know that at 60 mph Im gettin 14.5 on the avg. Ive started running a little harder and I drop to 14 running 62-65. Makes it a little easier to hit the 50mph target on a straight through run. Gotta start workin on the modifications to get the mpg up. Im pretty...

Yep purdy day too :) Probably should have done this one for free...glad I dont have to though...lol Done already did that Scott. I have seen 18mpg on the dash readout....I was drivin about 50 mph on the interstate though...lol.
