If one was averaging 3500 miles a week there would be no time to get a hotel room. That deal would actually be a kind of decent deal if the loads paid a dollar per mile and the if the maintenance was taken care of by the company. They're getting 1500 bucks a month for the van lease. Even if they...

To be fair to OVM on this issue, 80 cents per mile can work if you stayed in a specific area and you are always loaded. Running cheap is fine if you can cut out all of the additional expenses that living on the road eats up those profits. You also have to take into account the amount of time you...

What gets me is that Tractor trailer drivers are not unskilled labor and the rates they run for are nothing less than appalling. I can understand the cargo van rates going in the crapper...because anyone can drive one of those. But for the straight truck rates to go down as much as they have...

Now for those who are owed money from All Types - you can get your money. All Types has ben around a long time, and they're not going anywhere soon. Once you file and win a judgment in small claims court, you can have the Sheriff collect your money for you. The Sheriff can either go into their...

I have a friend who quit them and they still owe the guy over five thousand dollars. He just walked away and wrote it off as a loss. Drivers aren't really that bright when it comes to getting their money from these deadbeat carriers. Some drivers have been ripped off multiple times and still get...

How many drivers have actually sued Al Types. I doubt many have. If so, they wouldn't be in business. The main reason why they continue to get away with this is because drivers do not sue them!

Lets play hardballs! Chris Matthews stole your FSC.

Why would Murray ever add a drivers lounge inside his house when his drivers are always running loads? When would they even have time to lay about in front of the big screen?

Don't forget to park your truck in font of the Fox and Friends studio window on Monday morning after you make your delivery to the Radio City Music Hall. I want to see you out there representing your company!

I think some insurance companies already have an app that displays your insurance certificate. I don't know if it is Geico or what. It is that company that advertises with the pig lol.

That is cool until a tornado sucks you right up out the thing lol. That would be good for sleeping on warm summer nights when you can get by without an AC unit. The air can circulate through those screens without the bugs dining on your bloods.

Mostly, setting up a new carrier is not a fifteen minute process. That carrier who set me up in 15 minutes was taking a big risk with his customers freight. He actually called me on the phone to check me out (he claimed that he can get a vibe from carriers if he talks to their operations...

I can see working for three carriers if their freight comes from different sources. If you work for lets say Express Family of Companies who gets their loads from the rail yards, and then you work with another company that has loads from NLM, and a third carrier that gets loads from somewhere...

What happened to Katrina at Panther? It will take over a month sometimes to get signed on with Panther because there is a backlog of carriers trying to sign on with them. Owens is a cool cat over there with Tristate. I like their team. FedEx is another carrier you can hook up with, but you have...

What kind of shorts were you wearing? lol

Are you already signed up with Landstar? I know they sometimes call carriers direct for loads. I have dealt with one of their brokers out of Colorado a lot for loads out of the Houston area.

Freight, if you can't figure out how to fill out a carrier packet, you're not gonna make it very far in this business. There were times when I had gotten a load from a new carrier and only had 15 minutes to fill out a six page carrier packet and fax it back to said carrier. I had to do all of...

It's called a "polar vortex" these days. Climate disruption is in full force! lol.

Sorry, I can't edit my previous posts. My computer is locking up in the edit mode. I meant to say that I have my future to look out for. I'm not going to spend thirty years doing a job that does not provide me with a home, medical insurance, a healthy savings account, a retirement plan, and a...

I'm sorry, I'm having computer problems posting and editing my posts on here. I meant to say earlier that I don't run more and make less, I don't run less and make more, I run more and make even more! Yu guys have to think aout all of the time you spend on the road. It has got to be worth more...
