When it rains it pours. Last night I got a call from a life long friend in Austin Tx. In April he was diagnosed with stage 4 terminal liver cancer that has spread to other organs. Gave him 6 months. As a side note, Chris's grandfather invented the carburetor for Henry Ford. No sooner I get off...

Good morning all. It's official. Wombat is an owner operator. I officially signed over the title to him yesterday. Congratulations Pete and best of luck to you and continued success. Currently my wife and I are living in a hotel room. The boat is on the hard having her bottom painted and other...

Scott, don't worry about labels, consider the sources. They certainly aren't role models. So sorry about your string of luck. Chris, you to have had a rough time of it also. The reason for the reply is to share some experiences that I have been going thru since 2008. Hopefully the two of you...

You wouldn't know it!

I wasn't posting numbers. I made 1, uno, one statement of a driver who called me with his numbers and wanting help. The other folks are the ones that posted their numbers. I did not ask them to do that. Anytime anybody posts anything negative in this forum, people get real defensive.

Go back and read original post. I didn't ask. I was called. During casual conversation with other drivers, things come up in conversation. I wasn't tootn my horn, wasn't saying no one else is helping. Trying to encourage more of it. Just throwing my experience of the type of stuff we can help...

I have the proof of the driver I spoke about. That is for him to post, not me. When I finish mine, I'll post them. Some other issues I helped some with, and these 3 drivers drive for fleet owners, are: One is calling dispatch for layover approval. Didn't know all he had to do was fill in dates...

Your numbers are just that, YOUR numbers. That doesn't mean someone else doesn't have a legitimate issue or simply doing something wrong. No 2 vehicles are alike. I'll tell ya what I'm tired of. I'm tired of some that have been with the company for a while living in their rosey world saying...

I went over a drivers numbers with him yesterday in the yard. He ran about 6 months last year. Overall the rate per loaded mile is alittle lower this year. The 2 things that hurt his overall is dh is up and fsc is down on the loads from the middle of Feb to present. Fsc was averaging about 22%...

Are you sure your awake or just dreaming it?:what:

I sent you a pm.

I spoke with one of the drivers last night to clarify. Yep, down .30 per mile. Mostly due to longer dh miles. According to him, when he asks for more money, the dispatcher response is " I have other trucks in the area". I will say that response happened to me once. I thought I was back at...

In "Da Yard"

Bummer! :p

I'd love to be able to help you out.. 70 here near St. Louis. :D

Maybe parking passes are in order!

We are all crying the blues it seems. 4 s/t drivers called me saying their rates have dropped .30 per mile. More on some loads. Me, 5 loads in 16 days. So seems rough for everybody. Must be spring fever! :rolleyes:
