Does it really matter? If he let's go of the phone, he can't take a call on a job. If he let's go of his car, he can't go to the interview. He obviously made the wise choice in order to be able to take this position. Best of luck to him. He will be up in no time.

As in Chief Justice, Warren Burger: "I can't tell you what pornography is, but I know it when I see it." Moot dropped the "F" bomb.

Moot used the "Burger word."

Bill, Yeras ago when I lived in California, I helped out with a food ministry. Being based in a place like Irvine, one of the things that we were instructed on was not to turn away what they termed as "up and outers." These were the people who showed up driving a BMW or Mercedes, but were in...

So I guess what you're saying is, that the best expediting company out there is mine. :D Thanks for the props, Leo. Of course I am a bit biased, but then again, aren't we all?

Most trailer repair shops can sell you a 10' piece as cheap as a 2 ft piece from Northern Tool. They can also do the work for you if you want. Just Google up "Trailer repair" and your city.

Already been done.

If I'm not mistaken, they certainly aren't an oddity. There are others who do it that way as well. Certainly not for the faint of heart. Sure puts the "I" in the "IC" status.

C & M have good people in their office. When we deal carrier to carrier, there are many companies where we like working with some people and try to avoid others. I can't think of anyone at C & M that would cause us to do that.

Re: A rewelcome of myself. I think you'll enjoy working with C & M. Good people all around in the office. I'm sure you'll hear from a number of people who are with them now or have been in the past.

Ah yes. More abandoned rust buckets on the side of the highway.

Re: Ups working on a loadboard up in 2 month what can brown do for you UPS brokering expedite? Nothing new there. UPS Freight has been calling Panther and E-1 for some time. Express Critical has been brokering ever since they bought out Menlo (Emery) Expedite!

If you have your own authority, why fool with leasing to a carrier and all of their(our) rules? The question is, if you had to do your eye exam for a license renewal at the DMV today, could you pass? If you can't, you really don't belong in a driving job of any sort. Not trying to be mean.

Having been a leased owner operator myself when I began, it strikes me kind of funny and sad as well that there are those who are always CONVINCED that the carrier is screwing them at every turn, and that the carrier has no right to the profit that they do make. The funny thing is that many of...

Well, the cube vans generally block off a few feet for a bunk and leave 12 feet and maybe an extra inch for freight. As far as the Alliance freight goes, it is generally accepted to be EUV loads, but I guess it could be determined on a case by case basis. Usually those loads are already 3rd...

Well, we normally wouldn't be offering our large straights at 1.40 all in, especially when diesel was still above 4 bucks. I assumed that your post was in reference to Phil's post about 1.40 on his truck. That was offered to a 12 footer.

If your contract says you get paid for all those miles, then you do. If it doesn't say it, then you don't. Real simple. Opening doors and handing in paperwork mean nothing. That's part of the duties of the job. They aren't extras.

Blizzard, The load in question was offered to a 12 foot truck. After equipment, that truck can probably haul 4 skids max. This is not a thread about a carrier's profit margin, it's about the rate to a truck. Evidently, the owner op felt that this load was beneath his minimum, and that's...

Even better.
