spoke to an o/o that runs over there not long ago. he said they have to bid on the loads along with all the other carriers that are on the board. seems kinda weird. aa has quite a bit of freight, but you have a lot of competition to deal with.

it's obvious I don't break my #'s down as elaborate you guys do. but, as far as d/h, we have gotten at least $.50/mile for d/h miles on every load so far. it has ranged from getting $.50/mile to getting all the d/h miles paid at regular rate. their are some companies that don't pay any money...

i see what your saying and of course we crunched #'s and we are doing the $1.50/mile for our solo's. the one good thing about taking the rate reduction and letting them pay the insurance is that if you are at home for a week or so here and their, zipp pays the insurance and you wouldn't have to...

we have a few trucks leased on over there. we have been there for several months and everything has been great so far. miles have been consistent and the good thing is that we don't go out west or the northeast. we did quite a bit of comparing when we decided to move from our old company and...

when I got in this business 8 yrs ago, my 3rd child was born basically within the same month. while driving many nights up and down the interstates of america, I would tell myself that driving a truck and being away from my family was something I didn't want to do forever. a couple of years...

get a class 8 truck. no comparison to class 7. will spend a little more up front, but well worth it.

Re: Can anyone tell me the goods and bads about Nations Express. hey fatboy, PM when you get this, I would like to talk to you about your trucks.

just bought 2 sets for my trucks. I've heard you can expect an increase of about .3-.4/mile per gallon. is this what you guys are hearing?

not sure what the true relationship is, but we did a load for them not too long ago, and on the rate sheet, the "bill to" company was "farm2fleet trucking/covenant solutions expedite", so was under the impression that covenant had some kind of ownership?????????????? but they were fine to work...

they partnered up with whirlwind not long ago and I think they may have bought them out. they are technically owned by covenant trucking(big truckload company). ran a load or two for them so far, don't think we have had any problems.

WW uses a factoring company. I have brokered them loads and had to send the check to there factoring company.

it has gotten better. as of monday morning, we had 2 trucks in laredo, 1 in brownsville, 1 in austin, and 4 in dallas, but as of this morning we had all of them booked and on the road out of texas. some weeks are better than others. rates still aren't the best, that's everywhere.

hey tumbleweeds, pm me when you can, i may be able to help you guys out.

we use them. been using them for about 3-4 months. some places don't save anything, but at some places, we have saved $.23/gallon. we are with fleet one. we run about 40 cards and some drivers really don't like it to much because of the limited amount of stops compared to the # of stops...

there is metro express in st. louis, metro parcel in michigan, and metro expedite in athens, tn. there is an air freight/freight forwarder in nashville and many other cities.

never heard of them. madison is near huntsville, al. wouldn't think they would have a lot freight out of that area anyway.

hey jerry jones, how 'bout them cowboys?, don't know who you are, but just wanted to let you know that j-hawk has no relation to jd clark other than he runs loads for him. j-hawk is based out tenn and jd is based out of michigan. i understand your ****ed that someone hasn't paid you on time...

we have been doing several loads for them over the past several months and i have noticed that they are paying my factoring company a little later and later. they are around the 60-70 day turnaround time frame lately. we are going to have to stop using them with my factoring co. because they...

i think eventually they will regulate vehicles under 10k gvw a little more closely. all i can tell you is, that if you are leasing your commercial vehicle on to a carrier to haul freight intra or inter state, it would be in both parties best interest to run under that carriers ins. policy...

our revenue is off about 35% from last week. our load count is off about 30%. yeah, i would say that it has slowed down pretty drasticly.
