Why are you selling it? Also, some of their cards are tied to the truck's VIN number. Not sure if what you have is that?

The ideas are good but the language would have to be altered in places. Language with regards to independent contractors and employees can't be blurred. There really can't be a generic contract as different states require different things. For example, the state of NJ requires very specific...

I think a vacation is the best thing Phil. I don't see anything in jdevidts post that is condescending. He simply has a different opinion and experiences than you. So what? Like a couple of others, "stop trying so hard to be offended". Quote stolen from JJ.

Have to be careful posting those kind of comments. You will get the dabluz-bunny wanting to shoot you.:D

I will pass the word.:D

Just based on this thread I think some of the confusion comes from some drivers making 35 percent and some making 40 percent. Maybe that is a carrier issue? No idea. One can give some extra benefits including personalized wake-up calls if the fleet owner is keeping a additional 5 percent...

Good job, Phil.

Wow......look at all the new members. :rolleyes:

I think they all are recruiting with no number in sight except for maybe vans. The reality is most carriers will take on as many as they can and hope for the best. There is no planning with straights and tractors. Keep in mind that they are a revenue source whether they are moving or not...

I could dispute that.:D

Re: Expedite Services leaving E-1 Hard to tell but at those rates, it would be wise to switch. Not sure either but they might not been getting paid 100 percent for the DH either. Just a thought. Long deadheads could add up if you aren't compensated somewhere at the 1.20 rate.

I think he is telling you right. There has been a little less van freight overall, and some of it has been downright cheap. Personally, I think the market is just a little too over saturated with vans. May even out over the next few months.

ditto on that.

It has been pretty busy through the summer so I think the last two quarters will be pretty decent as well.

On this kind of stuff I usually go with "watch what they do, not what they say". Time will tell.

Nothing wrong with finding a better opportunity. Hope he does well in his new gig.:D Jeff is taking his place and brings years of experience with different carriers to the table. Don't see any downside for all concerned.

Tough question with little information.

Leasing companies are anywhere from .08 to .11 cents per mile for maintenance. If you are buying one, then that depends on the trucks age and many other factors.

You mean "carrier cry-babies"?:D They come in assorted colors as well.

Hey "Don't shoot the messenger". Whether I am a mod or not has little to do with the well proven facts, debunked myths or the message. Sorry, if you didn't like the message. I think that is enough on this and we should wish Mdscott luck on his new gig and help him get acclimated to his new...
