    Working For Someone Else.whats A Good Deal?

    Well it's a tough call. The most often commented on are as follows, many owners like to go with the 60/40 split in where you get 60% of the revenue and the FSC but you buy the fuel. Others like to keep 60%,purchase the fuel and you receive 40% of the revenue. As a Husband/Wife team you might...

    Hos

    Trying to Figure it Out...

    If he wants to remain engaged and possibly get married he should make no attempt to supervise the lady,minor suggestions such as "Slow this damn thing down" and "God that was close" will work if he is not within striking range.

    OK some may jump on me but I never asked permission. In the Military when you asked permission you would be told NO. If you went ahead and did it you were told "Do not do it again". The only Walmarts I ever got chased out of were is Southern Ca and hell you get chased out of every place...

    Dream Truck Ideas???

    To me a dream truck is a D unit that cost $15k,requires very little maintenance and runs and runs. Bells and whistles are nice but fat bank accounts are nicer.

    United Van Lines

    The problem is that the Contractors cut will be less. United books a shipment and turns it over to Joe Bob's Express who in turn offers it out to BigBubba and Rudy. Now United will take it's cut,Joe Bob taks a cut and BB and Rudy are left with the crumbs.
