I address this to Teacel. I read in a post where you said that it was the law that all fuel surcharges be passed on to the person that purchased the fuel(the topic started about Panther 2 and some other expedite co.).You were refering to HR2161 and S.1914,(The motor carrier fuel cost equity act...

I believe the 15 days that you are referring to applys if you are leased to a co. They have 15 days to pay you after you turn in all your paperwork for that load. As far as you being an independent, you must bill either the shipper or consignee, and they will pay you when they get around to it...

BIG SCOOTER, Your first sentence was very interesting. When rateing a company, the final decision is whether I am makeing money or not. They can be the nicest people in the world, but if I can't make any money, it's time to move on. If you are not makeing any money, you won't be in business too...

Glad to see that you are makeing lots of money with them. I was with them a few years ago, I lasted about a year with them. I didn't whine and complain, I just left and signed on with the company I'm still with. I'm happy where I'm at. Fedx/cc just isn't for everyone. Let us know at the end of...

Useing your figures, you averaged about 1605 miles per week. I'm not going to say it's impossible, but doubhtfull. What was your percentage of availability? Out of your $19271.12 how much were your expenses? You must be the only D unit out there. I don't see too many of them any more. Save...

If I could have had numbers like that, I would still be there. Ran as a team for 1 1/2 years with them and didn't do too bad. Still not as good as they are showing you. I then ran for 4 months single and almost went broke. I almost lost my truck. Getting out of there was the best thing I have...

Yep Weave is right. I called talked to Virginia about a problem just before I left there. She said she would call me back with an answer. Well, that was almost 2 years ago, and I'm still waiting for her to call back. You get nowhere with them.

I got fed up with them about a year and a half ago. I have been leased to a small expediter co. in my area. We do a lot of local stuff, and once and awhile go to the east coast. It has been really slow lately, but I'm makeing enough right now to keep afloat. Look for a small local co. that can...

You going to get your own authority, cargo insurance and all the other things to become an independent?

Very interesting topic. I have also been fascinated by trucks since I was little. I went to mechanics school from 1968-1970. I worked as a mechanic on trucks for one year. I joined the Army, and was a driver for three years. Then I worked as a machinest for 23 years, got burned out,(just...

I always thought that it stood for : from original beginning. meaning that it was created at that plant. But I do remember something about free on board.

Discounted freight is hard for me to understand. If it is expedited (emergency) freight, why would you give someone a discount? Does the company also share in takeing less, or do they get the same money as regular freight and you get less? Where I am leased to, we give them a price and thats it...

You aren't the only nut. I took a load from Youngstown OH to Atlantic City NJ, then dead headed to Long Island NY for a pickup back to Youngstown. Total miles 1050. Pay was $750.00. I have a D unit. $.71 per mi. and then there were the tolls. $64.00. Now down to $.65 per mi. Only reason I took...

I am looking for a contact in the Long Island area. I go there quite often, and would like something to haul back to the OH area. I would even consider going to CT for a pickup. Anyone know of a person I could contact? I have a "D" unit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Button down shirts? Steel toed boots? Whats next? Maybe hair length, or all your teeth must be capped. I thought you were OWNER/OPERATORS. I dress nice and I run my co. Guess I bailed out of there just in time. If you are an " O/O ", how can they tell you how to dress?

The election is over. We have a president elect. It is time to support him and hope for the best. Save your anger for the next election.

Can you post the article you saw this in?

RE: The Florida Ballot Well no matter who wins, isn't it nice to know that we can express our views in this great nation and not worry that we will censored by the government and sent to jail. I thought about this yesterday as I watched the cremonies observing Memoral day. Being a vetran...
