    Avatars and Screen Names

    In my case Moose was already taken. So I researched the phrase "Critical Mass" and found the statement that I use as my signature.

    I miss being on the road

    Hi all, It has been a while since I have posted on the forum. I have been out of service (personally) from an auto accident in our personal vehicle since January 17th, 09. I broke my left ankle in the crash. It broke in 2 places. I've been at home staring at the four walls for over 6 weeks now...

    Hindsight about Expediting

    If there were not any challenges in life or business to overcome you would not be living your dream or reaching your goals. I have a poster that says "EVEN IF YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK, YOU'LL GET RUN OVER IF YOU JUST SIT THERE"

    Math problem

    Thank you nightcreacher "divide the miles into the money,that will get you your pay per mile". That would be PPM which is basically the same thing as PPR. The 813 was 29 miles of paid DH to P/U plus 284 run miles plus 500 DHPL miles. I was just becoming confused on my formula that I showed in...

    Math problem

    Not exactly what I was looking for. I do use these spreadsheet but, I am wanting to know if this formula PPR (Price Per Run). (Total Miles - DHPL) ÷ Gross Pay. Is this correct or do I need to reverse the formula to get the correct result? Example: Total miles is 813, DHPL is 500, gross pay is...

    Are You Asking God for the Right Help for Your Business?

    We MUST do everything through Jesus Christ to the glory and praises of God. Without his guidance we will be wandering aimlessly in all that we do. With a positive attitude, you will attract more opportunities in life and in business. You must praise God for the challenges that you face everyday...

    Attention Solo Drivers

    I understand that you would have a better opportunity as a team operation. I am just asking for advise on solo strategies for operating the truck until I can put a co-driver in the truck and be a team. Then on the other hand should I buy the truck at all or solicit other O/O to become their...

    Co-Drivers perspective

    Terry, you are correct when you say that there are a lot of variables in a truck with a co-driver. That is why I posed the question in the first place <---(pardon the pun) as a 1st person perspective. Each has it's own unique set of circumstances. Newbies and solos thinking about going "team"...

    Co-Drivers perspective

    Are there any co-drivers in this forum that would like to post their view of expediting (in a 1st person perspective ie: I, myself, my). I know it is a contradiction to say it in a 1st person perspective because you work as a team (I know there is no "I" in "Team"). Your thoughts and opinions do...

    Load Opps

    We have received offers on the new system and we have had great success with it. As far as the offers being low paying, we have had great paying runs. We have refused 3 offers on the new system because the quote was too low, yet we got better offers later on 2 of them after dispatch cycled...
