    Owners paying the 60/40 split.

    As a Fleet Owner who pays 60\40, pays for the fuel,tolls, truck washes, etc. I must admit I pay in this manner for several reasons. But the main reason is relocation of the truck. What I have found over the years (most from managing fleets) is operators do not want to actively move the...

    A question for owners and their drivers

    As a former lease contractor and current fleet owner. The only advise I can give to any contractor is, if your owner does not allow you access to all the carrier's settlement information related to the truck, their is a problem. In addition you should always recieve a detailed breakdown...

    dogs

    Doxie's...I love mine! They sleep under the covers with you, so you feet stay warm in the winter. Anyone comes near the truck, OMG they BARK and BARK! Very social when they are with their owner walking! Very smart! That's my favorite breed on the truck. Down fall, short legs. You have...

    pjjjj...the rate will not fall below 1.05. If 65% is more than 1.05 you would get the higher rate. That is how it was explained to me! I was told the FSC will stay as it is.. 100% passed on to the O\O. The change is only on Load Revenue.. Any day above the dirt is a good day!
