Tri-State also had HH movers miles customers to. I know CAT is one of them.

I am incorporated out of DE. and run my business out of OH. Just got to pay that one time fee to the secretary of state for OH. Works for me and I am all legal.:D

So what am I doing wrong?? Driving safely at 60 or letting the driver know I can only run 60?? I am not a aggressive driver and when I get the 1% that tail,flash lights, attempt to pass on the merge lane I slow down or get off at the next ramp as I stated above. I also let them ride my...

I have hauled a few loads for them and they pay within 30 days of POD & invoice. I believe they also run a truckload division. This is the one out of Mi. The one out of Tn. does not seem to want to pay the rates I offer them... So I have never hauled a load for them. The last time Metro out...

You would not believe how often this happens at 60. I usually get on the cb and say something to the professional :mad: on my but. Most of the time if they ask why I am moving so slow. I tell them there is a taddle-tail on the truck and the freight I am hauling is sensitive and if I break...

There are plenty of company and lease drivers only running 58-64mph and making money with the way the HOS is set up know. The only changes to the HOS I like to see is them to get rid of the 14 hour clock, and let us go back to split logging the way we us to. It is hard for a solo driver to...

Yea Jersey is usually good. I sit in Linden (usually drop near there) when I am in Jersey and don't sit long before usually getting a load going to New England.

Well then that is really cool that you don't have to sit the 2 days to collect. So If I drop ask for a relocation that is about 200 miles I can start rolling at the .50 then If I don't get a load the 1st 24 hrs I get 50.00. Then if I sit another 24 I get 50.00 again. That works I can make...

OVM I was going by CPM not just fuel, point taken on the 100.00 total!! You also have to figure in lost time to get that money. If I get the 100.00 for sitting 2 days. Then decide to get relocation pay at .50 a mile I guess I could move 1250 miles before it was costing me money to move...

HE-HE All the big paying loads are out of OHIO don't-ya-know!! No competition there either:rolleyes:

I am with Greg on this. We need to tighten are CDL standards. Now I am going to get some hate on this, but this is my view. ALL trucks, bus, RV, towing vehicle with a GVW of 10k or more should be governed at a maximum of 65mph. That should also be the maximum speed on any road way. There...

Please keep on thinking that!! I make my living off of liked minded people like you:rolleyes:

The problem I see is if you don't know what the rate is before hand you are probably leaving money on the table. As I mentioned before not all load destination's pay the same. Yes you get 50.00 if you sit up to 48 hours for DH. For 50.00 I can only move my truck about 75 miles before I am...

Depends on the year I know for sure pre 2003 there is a motor and linkage you would have to install along with the switch. 2003 and newer I don't know but I believe they a drive by wire so it maybe possible. I know my 06 D-max is drive by wire, it is possible that the gas motors are to. If...

Thanks for the incite Chef. I would have a hard time going back to a company. My eye's have been opened since going independent. I am also set in my ways, which most companies do not like. I am no longer a hustler. I hate to say it but I am now a paid tourist:D

Thinks for explaining that I did not know about the 67% thing. I could not lease my truck to a company that does that, they have enough hands in your profitability as it is without that. I don't know why some of these companies put this crap on ya. They ain't paying for your expenses, and...

And as for backhauls :mad: (there's that word again) was he really looking for them or was he sitting there waiting for the beep and complaining about how many vans were around. Instead of being proactive to get out of there. If I was leased to a company and I knew they had 19 vans in the area...

19 Vans in front of him sounds like he took a load he should of not taken or DH there which would of been worse. As for the AVERAGE Panther van running 2k miles a week. I don't know, I can only go from the few I have spoken to. All the ones I have talked to were west of the Mississippi and...

Turtle where you sitting in Williston when offered?? I have dropped there a few times (usually load out of Fargo). Just curios, when I drop there I call me Canada contacts and if they have nothing out of SK. or MB. I usually DH to Bismark. But as I stated I always factor in my relocation fee...

I understand the .50 DH to pk (I assume). How does the $50.00 a day for 2 days work?? I have yet to here that one. Sounds like Load 1 is a good place to lease a van on to.
