I would never talk highly of WOM...:pokepoke: WOM

I like your sense of humour...you are weird and fit in this bunch of whack jobs just fine....LOL ;) Nice to meet ya...:)

or even a $1.00 a mile? almost the new scab low ball rate now... an expediter is on the job 168 hours a week... you guys should be around $1.50 - $2.00 a mile on a regular basis...IMO :pokepoke:

when i was with Murray I'd do that with Load 1 drivers as well...say thanks! ;)

don't encourage him....:p

and then this industry is fairly split....People that need the income as this is their primary income and then those that are retired and use this as a paid vacation tour....the latter usually has a lower CPM then the former and can afford to take a steady diet of .65 loads, The full timer with...

I was back up driver for Escort business once....:p

rookies see the short term.....like wow in 24 hrs or less I can drive 1500 miles and make 1,000 bucks! to someone starving and about to lose the roof over their head that is BIG bucks....That is what we are up against....and thereis no shortage of carriers that don't take advantage of this...

the last thing fleet owners want is to be determined drivers are "employees"..that would be a big NoNo... I had 1 great driver made me money and worked the sheet....60/40.....I said Ernie why not work per shift or per week....He said that made him lazy and this way he had to hustle....heck even...

I was just doing my subtle John poke....I agree with all you said!:)

John Elliott has said many times.....someone working from thier home is unprofessional...and he cries for a level playing field between carriers....like someone that works out of a converted barn in the Ozarks...:p

now if that were ALL miles I would say the downside of good....with no FSC and fuel on the rise....it makes it poor...

I didn't infer they did...No Namers are not always Multi's.....heck Murray could be called a no namer as no decals but the ones in the front seat if needed....i just used them as an example of dealing with a well known bigger carrier...I was going to poke you but Steve has a bullseye painted on...

small brokers have little to do with no namers really....Large carriers tend to use the no namers to pump up profit margins....when with Murray I learned of many small obsolete brokers who had some good customers and payed a decent rate and easier to deal with then say a Barrett..

being a resident...they set 8,000 as a limit mostly for the combination pickups and trailers......ranchers use them to haul livestock and feed.....their weight can be an issue......and at 8,000 they have the option of a pullover at the discretion of officer...so keep on trekking...:)

one time not so many years ago, there was almost a very definitive busy and slow periods....changes in auto production schedules, better inventory software and so forth....the last few years its more...location, location, location, and LUCK....as to the post above..January and February have been...
