This 60/40 split I keep seeing where the driver gets 60% pays for fuel and getting back 100% FSC. That is 60% of the gross, right?... IMO even if it is 60% of the gross, with the fuel prices of today, the deadheading that some of you are doing (hopefully getting paid something.. even if it's a...

Thanks Cheri.. Is there anything that some of you may have missed at first.. signed on and then down the road thought oh wow this should have been in the contract or if only this or that was in the contract it would have saved a lot of headaches and time? Maybe that's what my question should...

Gotcha .. No contract = run I've been looking around and I see a bunch of posts on getting a contract.. but not really what to look for in one.. Maybe I just haven't found the right thread yet...

What are some things that you would suggest a newbie look for in a contract?... Just as a driver.. not with leasing or signing on as a O/O. As I would assume it would be a major difference between the two. Let's say I find an O/O or company that I really like and after talking to them...

Davekc – Thank you.. I'll PM cheri1122 Are12 – Thanks and that's my plan after I feel I've gathered enough information.. Rocketman – Thanks, you know I may have taken the first suggestions wrong as you said. But even though this work is not gender specific so to say… I guess I've seen...

First I want to thank both of you for taking the time to answer... I'm not trying to come off as a smarty but I know I don't know enough to even think about becoming an O/O at this point. So looking at the classifieds for something to take the payments over on would be a step in the wrong...

Seeking advice on how or whom I should call or apply with. I've been a stay at home Mom for the past 18 years... I have my CDL-A with tanker endorsement (NO-Hazmat) but feel it wouldn't be a huge problem in getting Hazmat added. I don't have "any" work experience to list (trucking or...

Ok, cool thanks for the answers.. kinda what I was already thinking.. better to have more then not enough..

I keep seeing a lot about Hazmat. I have my CDL-A license and I'm wondering if adding Hazmat wouldn't be a good idea and does the Hazmat make a difference with different companies? I'm looking at straight trucks and just asking because I would hate to get unloaded some place and then have...

Yup.. that's trucking.. hurry up and wait.. ;)

Thank you.. and very true on both counts... :)

Does anyone know anything about (straight-truck) loads headed for the Eastern Shore in Maryland? Just trying to find out if it would be a lot of deadhead miles living here... I've looked around but didn't see anything that looked very promising on getting in and back out again... Thanks, Ange
