Hey Bearcat: "Socialism:You have two cows. Give one to your neighbor"....the neighbor who already let the 2 cows he had die, by not taking care of them. If you don't give him a cow, the current administration will tax you to death for being more successful than that neighbor. :):D

Gotta stay on 'em, like stink on doodoo.

My experience has been that some of the simple travel lodges offer as good or better a discount with a commercial license, once you figure in the 4.95 handling charge. I hear some of the "extended stay" type accommodations have good overnight rates with CLC, or at least they used to. I've...

Hey Turtle. Good to know about Alabama. I know that you used to have to cross with any vehicle engaged in commercial use.

1. Go see them in Charlotte. 2. Ask to see Danny McPherson or, 1 Call Accounts Payable 2. Ask to speak to their Controller 3. Let them know you'd hate to have to file against their bond. I did a combo of the two and had a check in days. For now, if they ain't payin', I ain't haulin'.

No offense taken. These things can be rather sticky sometimes. I'm always glad to offer info that might help someone resolve an issue with their carrier, or in this case, a beoker. However, as some of these things get into specifics, I'm really not comfortable discussing them in a public...

Hawk, You probably already know what I'm going to say. I still think you're only a couple more good contacts away from seeing the results you want. Yeah, I know it's been slower. My March was the slowest I've seen it since last summer. We're still hopeful for this month though. Knock on...

Frankly I would recommend you contact Nations yourself and just concern yourself with rectifying the situation for yourself. That's really my perspective. As far as rallying support, the Alliance is well aware of the situation and just recently did ban a another brokerage from posting. You...

Right now you have to think very nontraditional. Most folks are too scared to leave the "safe zone" of the midwest, and therefore are sitting. Not so many trucks in FL right now. Just remember that it is a holiday weekend. Very possible to get a inbond freight rescue out of MIA or FLL that...

True, but it is the insurance carrier's responsibility to file the proper form with FMCSA. The carrier has nothing to do with updating Safer with the new info.

That would be my assumption as well. Most of the companies that have a large carrier presence as well as brokerage presence generally incorporate them separately. They have separate numbers and separate accounts. I know of one broker we've dealt with out of Indy that has a clause in their...

Jeff, what do you mean by " they indeed are liquid" It means that they're NOT broke. They've had a reputation for slow pay that long preceeds this current economic slowdown.

Hey McClain. Look up MC338387. Nations has their broker authority under a different MC than their carrier authority. Not uncommon. As far as getting paid, call corporate and ask to speak to a guy named Danny McPherson. He's VP of business development. We only got paid after calling them...

Wow. What a coincidence. So is Elvis.

Hey Ann. If you are running your truck, you should get paid for hand load. If you're not sure, I'd make sure it was in the contract.

I got two fillings at the dentist on Wednesday.

If you're in a job making 50K, why would you make a risk in such an uncertain time? Are you in a field with any connection to freight?

It sure is. But most carriers broker SOME loads in order to feed their trucks in all areas. It's a "you scratch my back and I scratch yours" thing. It's part need, and part cooperation.

.....and yes I agree that that is quite bogus to cut a percentage. He can't just change it though if it isn't in a contract.

I must agree with Cheri. No one makes you buy into those promises. You choose to believe who you want to believe. If you only get the hype, then you'll wonder why isn't isn't going so well. So here's the deal about the original question. Congratulations. You are now self-employed. This is...
