    Flat rate???

    First let me say I'm not in favor of the flat rate program nor am I promoting its existence. What I'm saying is you're not going to be sitting as much you'll be running all the time. Working harder not smarter.

    Backhauls what does your Carrier you for them.

    What all of you are referring to here as backhauls are actually broker loads. There is no such thing as a backhaul in the trucking industry, unless you are using loads to return your trucks to their normal dock. I know it is a technicality in terms but a load, is a load, is a load. It...

    Truck driving terms and how times have changed

    People misinterpret the term backhaul, a backhaul is a load that takes you back to your original location or at least near there. Companies that freight their own goods look for backhauls because their trucks have to get back to their plants to haul their goods. If they don't find a backhaul...

    $1.40 per mile?

    Not a problem, I was just trying to show that you can run very profitable at $1.40 per mile. I personally think that some people price themselves into the poor house, also some listen to people who really don't have a clue what it really takes to operate a truck or a company. My reefer and...

    $1.40 per mile?

    I think Rocketman that you really missed the point of my post. I was just sharing how much you can actually pocket at $1.40 a mile. I think there are people out here who have some very unrealistic ideas on how much money they need per mile to turn a profit. As for meals being included in my...

    High quality fleet

    I guess the "powers that be" want us to be on the same level as our great administration..."we can change"....I think our customers thought we were doing pretty good without all this change.

    AT&T cellphone plan discount

    Just tell them you get the FedEx discount (my bill says FedEx Ground) but NEVER ask for the discount rate on the phones because they will give you the discount on the retail corporate price and it is high.
