I don't think there is right or wrong with 60/40 or 40/60. It really depends on all the variables. I have worked for the 60/40 plus fsc. Which was a great deal. But I am now with a new owner on a 40/60 deal that I think is the best. I pay for absolutely nothing out of my pocket. The owner pays...

Just a side note. This toll assistance only applies to standard tarriff customers and not contract customers. So if you go across the GW to pick-up a load for a contract customer. Not only will you not get the New York pay. You also will not get any toll assistance. And less FSC then the old...

Not sure about this stuff. But you never know??? www.phantomplate.com

Accept every load??? I been struggling with this issue all year. I used to strive for a good acceptance rate. But have come to the conclusion. That at the end of the day it is all about the money. If I am not going to make a profit off the load. Bottom line is I'm not going to haul it. I don't...

Just a suggestion. Might want to move the tag and make it a pusher. It will take the weight off the steer. When you have it down.

I use a all in one. Just scan the document to file. Log into Send2Fax website. Fill out my cover sheet & attach my file. And hit send. Fax comfirmation is sent to my e-mail inbox. Inbound faxes also go directly to your in-box. They come in pdf file. Just open and print out. I really like it...

We use the Verizon Wireless card. Has Broadband access and really good coverage area. $80.00 a month unlimited access. Can't remember the cost of the card. Around $150.00 I think. I know they have come down in price slightly. We also recently began using send2fax. Wireless internet fax program...

Are there any decent owners out there? Absolutely... I recently sold my truck and now drive for a group of owners. And all I can say is these people are wonderful. Being a owner operator for six years. I was a little skeptical at making this change. I now wish I would have done it sooner. I...

I HAVE NO SYMPATHY FOR THE UAW. PURE GREED, DROVE THEM TO WHERE GM IS TODAY. I NO LONGER HAUL AUTO PARTS. BUT WHEN I DID. IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THEY HAVE PLENTY OF DEAD WOOD AROUND THOSE PLANTS. NOTHING WRONG WITH PAYING SOMEONE A GOOD WAGE FOR A HARD DAY OF WORK. BUT DOES IT REALLY TAKE ONE GUY...

When I worked for Landstar there were a few agents that had a truck or two. Not all of them. But none of those agents tried to hide the fact that they had trucks. But it never really seemed to have a impact on getting a load from those agents. Most of those agents used there trucks to run more...

I agree with some of the other posts. There are many different reasons for the ads. Could be business is booming there. And they have a need for more trucks. Or it could be many other reasons. But the bottom line is. If you don't want to work for a particular company. Then don't work there. I...

Just my two cents. FEDEXCC truck may have been preassigned on another load. Or possibly waiting to unload. Who knows??

I think you handled it rather well. I don't go to the auto plants anymore. But when I did I expected to get a hard time before I got there. And just pretty much let it go in one ear and out the other. I spent 10 years in the military. So I think over the years I got acustomed to some individuals...

Is quite amazing the price per gal of those products. My question is though, How long does it take to consume a gal of pepto or nyquil??? :'(

$2.53 TA ONTARIO,CALIFORNIA TODAY:-( x( :( :'( :-( :'( x( :(

Cliff gave some very good info. The wife and I have been at Landstar for almost two years. All in all, I think LEA is a good company to work for. But like any company it has its ups and downs. I will say you are treated as a business person and not a driver. You control your own destiny. You are...

There are a few legit needy people out there. Its just being able to determine the ones in need from those who just want a free ride. The wife and I never give cash. But have given some food on occasion to some individuals who greatly appreciated it. As for the comments about the people with...

NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE WEIRDEST LOAD I HAULED OR NOT. BUT IT COMES TO MIND IN ANY CASE. I ONCE HAULED A LOAD OF ADULT NOVELTY ITEMS FROM LA TO PHOENIX. NOT SURE WHY THEY WERE EXPEDITED????

I have to agree with Weave. A good preventive maintenance program is your best money saver. Know your equipment,and inspect it religously. If you detect problems early. You will save yourself alot of money in repairs and lengthy downtimes which result in loss revenue. You can pay a little now or...

Tom, Can you give us some real world figures on 2004 average gross revenue for a team? Average gross revenue for a single? Also do you employ company drivers as well as independent contractors?
