RE: An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening another hank hill, quit runnin or i'll kick it harder dammit. i am with the opinion that freight is getting harder to come by so i say that i am fortunate to have a good bunch of people finding us loads and keeping the wheels turning. we have...

now all of you get along and get back to the post topic, who is rjr. well, rjr is a small co. that has been around for a long while. they have hq. in windsor and a office in sylvania, Oh. they shut down u.s. operations after 9/11 and just reopened it last oct. or nov. we have about 25 units on...

we hauled the prototype for fedex and the gov. manpass project. they would not even speculate a value. northrop grumman had a team of 21 people working on this 24 hours a day almost 365 for 3yrs. it was a pod that hung on the belly of fdx overseas cargo planes that would jamm surface to air...

how soon will you be picking the trucks and letting us know who made the cut. time to prep b4 the show. tnt

rmctt2, yes i can give a run down. i do mention where we are at in posts if it is pertinent but since we have moved i just have not found it important til your question. we are currently leased to rjr. we were with t-state from 8/1/06 till 3/23/07. before that we were with conway for six years...

thats the ugly little phrase that is never mentioned anywhere but in the contract/lease. which is another reason we are not there anymore. as you stated nil, nada like conway, we use to be conway so it was even harder to adjust to that rule. i dealt with the drop and climb back up like you have...

dave, at t-state if you turn down what they consider a viable load they drop you to the bottom of the board you are on and you stay there for eight hours. they will give you a load if you are the only truck on that board but all other units that come in during that eight hour period go in front...

well we are not t-state anymore but do still have some contacts inside . yes last week for about 24 hours there was a change in rates . they decided or should properly be stated as dave (ceo) decided that they should seperate the rates. so loades of 5000# or less were going to be offered at 1.10...

well ms. boatylady, i take personal offense to your comments but thats ok everyone is entitled to reply as they wish. however you should be a little more specific. there are only two people in the office that were in the conway office, and as stated neither in the position to make any of the...

you are rite, i do not use cd at all w/tstate and never have and obviously never will. as far as the addendum, the portal website that tstate has says that any addendum not signed and returned by 3/1/07 will cancell that o/o right to recieve any advances till they receive the signed addendum. so...

ok, lets get this out there so everyone understands how t-state works. first we get paid, for lack of explaining the difference between cd and dd every fri. all paperwork must be turned in by wed. at noon. and pay is a week behind. for example paperwork recvd. on wed. 2/7 would actually pay...

browns, at the congo road exit on 30 just west of littlerock, ar. great buffet including dailey fresh catfish. great sweet tater casserole and local favorite cheese potatoes. they have all kinds of good home cooked choices. another if you like seafood, froglegs, ribs{smoked}, chicken, turtle...

thanks all for the responses, lots of good ones on ways to get around it or help offset the cost. what i really wanted was to see how upset this would get everyone if their carrier started doing this, seeing this is a industry standard almost every carrier gives advances on every load. how would...

thats the date i remember also but i awoke to a call at 6:00 a.m. what a way to start the day

you saved 3.50 for using it but at say 2.30 a gallon a 100 gal. would cost 230.00 x the 5% tri-state charges to load the comdata card it just cost you 11.50 to get your money in advance to pay for the fuel minus 3.50 you saved still makes the transaction cost 8.00.

good old tri-state

no, the 5% is strictly on load advances not your weekly pay. this is not being charged by comdata but by the carrier on top of what little usage fee or transaction fee comdata charges. i realize that there are many ways to get around this charge, but i am also sure that not everyone has as many...

i asked the question on administrative fees on comdata and the response has not been overwhelming. so i believe i should reword and elaborate on the subject. our current carrier we are leased with, starting 3/1/07 is charging a 5% admin. fee to adv. your comdata card. for example, to advance...

we have covered two large carriers p2 and fed. once we get a few more represented i will elaborate on why i asked this question. thanks for your input.

only a few words for other than the microwave, GT express101. that thing kathy the little red head sells on the infomercial, get one they are the best thing since sliced bread. really does do everything she claims and about any other concocion you can dream up. if it fits in the cooker, you can...
