Ouch! Put up a mailbox, I'll send ya some cookies :)

Looks like my break is going to be extended. Was supposed to do my taxes today, the tax lady cancelled and rescheduled for Monday. I've been trying to get through to an RV dealer in TN all week to get my generator installed and a rooftop unit on the van. Apparently their swamped. I've...

So, did you make it?

Even worse? Are you sure that you had a driver in that part of the continent?

I'm still not sure that it's not just another troll from the other site stirring the pot?

You really don't have a clue do you? You won't be doing anything new. You have a LOT of people already doing what your proposing and we have already seen the effects of it. Your not creating new opportunities for anybody. Your just creating competition. If you want to create opportunities...

What you are proposing...now....is yet another bottom feeding company that doesn't go out and find their own freight but relies on the load boards. Have you actually ever tried to win a bid on a load board? The competition is fierce. The rates are in the dumpster and it is, at least to some...

I think your right..to a degree. There are some that are doing a good job and being successful. But, for the most part, I think your giving the business model way too much credit. I don't think there is enough money in it to pay the extra nickel. I think what actually happens is that in an...

Yep...your really gettin it done Blizz. I would have no problem encouraging these young men to ditch an apparently lucrative career to follow in your footsteps.

Don't go in early. There's been a couple bad experiences with that lately :D

We're gonna need a whole new forum for the stories that come out of this one.

Moot, to clarify..that was the price paid to the carrier, correct? What % of that price went to the o/o ? oops...beat me to it :)

Lol...good one! I think his space shuttle must have had "just enough" gas in it :D

They just ask if my name is Dennis. I say no and they walk away...really confused...lol

Actually, the guys sitting around the parking lots asleep, with their windows down are probably not under load. I guess they could be if on a long run with time to stop...but most are empty waiting for a load.

I usually just slow down...slower...and slower...until they either back off or pass. In the straight truck on more than one occassion, I had 4 wheelers that would tuck up behind the truck so close I couldnt even see their headlights. Slowing down would usually let them know I was onto them and...

Sorry for your loss Jenny.

1. Doesn't mean that they are a making even one penny in profit. Being able to turn a profit out of it is what seperates the men from the boys. Anything less is just another wannabe putting on a show. 2. I seriously doubt that the company you are referring to started up 2 years ago with...

The OP states that he and his brother combined are grossing $180k per year. I would like to hear how many of these startup expedite carriers can claim half that in net earnings for a year?.... Anybody? For sake of discussion, I'll take anybody up to 5 years after startup and up to 20...
