I dispatch. Today I bid a van load out of Phoenix to El Paso for a small straight that was happy to get fuel money. Bid it at .59 and a van bid lower. Bid another out of Tucson to Roswell NM at .72, broker said he got it covered cheaper. How anyone with a van can stay in business is beyond me...

Retirement becomes boring very fast. Everything costs money. I have enough to live comfortably without working. But when you have all this free time and want to do something with it, it costs extra money. We become spoiled traveling around the country and having the business pay the costs...

I did. I sold it about two years ago and retired. But I'm getting tired just sitting around and got the bug to go hit the road. After 40 plus years in trucking it would be nice to back to my roots and get behind the wheel again. More fun when you do it because you want to, than when your...

Just reposting the alert I got from Baxter Bailey & Associates. I've had slow pays and no pays in the past from Demaris. Just interesting to see he made their list.

BP (Big Pickles) are some of the dumbest people to walk the face of the earth. Always ask them the first question. Then ask them another. It throws them for a loop and the only thing you'll get back is have a nice day. Don't believe me, give it a try. When you pull up hit them with "It...

You ever hear of the Banning scales.

That website is about a year and a half old. Those were drivers requirements of "Another" carrier who we had trucks on with and they required our drivers to sign that. We've had our authority for the last six months and haven't much of a need for a web site. I've been in trucking for...

The best part is that Carren says to Charles" You told me this is all settled. Can I have all the settlements?" This guy even lies to his wife, LOL. Trust me I won't drop this until Demaris Transportation is out of business or I'm paid. I told the law offices to go after the original...

Idtrans, I fully understand your sense of humor. I love it.

Mexican Truckers Verse American Cry Baby Truckers (New School Drivers) Two countries, two approaches. You can blame our government for making us mindless wonders. By Timothy D. Brady Mexican Truckers’ regulations are consequence regulations. If a Mexican trucker makes a...

Yeppers either the paperwork was faxed in on time and the loads were paid through an ACH which the bank seems to have lost, or the paperwork was late. It's really confusing when you try to use both excuses. If you didn't have paperwork than why would you make a deposit a 10 days ago?

Well Charles I can't believe I actually got a response from you. If you answered your phone, called people back, and responed to emails, that might be helpfull in the future. As far as trying to use the paperwork excuse, good try. My driver has fax receipts for each time he faxed in a copy...

That amount is owed for loads pulled by two straight trucks. Not sure how you run, but for us amounts to about a two week period involving two trucks. The trucks are now parked because of no pay. I'd be happy to pm you all the dates and amounts if you are interested. As far as paperwork...

I tried to be very carefull in my first post. I will have my day in court, I'm not worried about that. I was just interested to try to find out if this was a new thing with Charles or an on going thing. Also if anyone else is owed money I'd refer them to the lawyer I'm using. I wiil throw...
