Advice needed, I will make the decision ..so ANY advice will be welcome. I am wanting to get into a D unit, I am not in a position to buy and insure one now. I hear drivers talking about leaseing from O/O and driving for a company with a split on profits. How does this work and what research...

Since the O/O parked the truck last week I too have been looking for a ride(job). I have heard, by CB, that tri-star is being partnered(?) to Schnieder. I wonder if this will be a good thing for the expediter or just getting the left overs from schiender. Just wondering... BTW..if anyone is...

It is my understanding that 70% of the professional drivers on the road today are single operators. What happens if 70% of the frieght is no longer delivered in a timely manner..BIG people will start screaming..and not at the driver following the new rules(Law). I would hate to see the already...

Weave hit the nail on the head..this will have NO impact whatsoever on reducing accidents..those PROFESSIONAL drivers who are doing it their way now will continue to do so. I to have carried small loads in my fl70 and I agree weave!

You guys also understand the the 'Big Rig' guys just do not believe this will have a big impact on them and thats exactly what they are telling thier dispatchers and companies, I have heard as much. They are willing to throw the dice and work the books to stay on the road instead of fighting...

Be happy with what you got, but always have plan B in the folder in case your boss says he's parking it. I am getting parked due to lack of business and was totally unprepared for it, after all business reports were saying that we are getting better and enjoying a post 9-11 surge in business. oh...
