Parking Javits Center, Manhattan Can someone help out? I know we used to be able to park on the street near here overnight, does anyone know if we still can and have you parked there recently? Also what is the street name where you can park?? Thanks

What all of you are referring to here as backhauls are actually broker loads. There is no such thing as a backhaul in the trucking industry, unless you are using loads to return your trucks to their normal dock. I know it is a technicality in terms but a load, is a load, is a load. It...

People misinterpret the term backhaul, a backhaul is a load that takes you back to your original location or at least near there. Companies that freight their own goods look for backhauls because their trucks have to get back to their plants to haul their goods. If they don't find a backhaul...

The numbers you see in the spreadsheet are actual expenses. The number of years has no bearing on this sheet, The top part of this sheet is the non variable and the bottom is for variable expenses. I think the question is how are you figuring your MPG? What kind if truck and engine are you...

Not a problem, I was just trying to show that you can run very profitable at $1.40 per mile. I personally think that some people price themselves into the poor house, also some listen to people who really don't have a clue what it really takes to operate a truck or a company. My reefer and...

I think Rocketman that you really missed the point of my post. I was just sharing how much you can actually pocket at $1.40 a mile. I think there are people out here who have some very unrealistic ideas on how much money they need per mile to turn a profit. As for meals being included in my...

Mine is based on revenue so if I don't make anything I don't pay anything.

It is work accident premium from FedEX.

Every one is talking about $1.40 per mile and I am not sure everyone knows exactly how to figure your cost per mile so I thought I'd try to help and if you do know how to figure your own then good for you, but I do hope this might help those who don't know how or maybe who have never really...

Contrary to popular belief Gasoline is FUEL, as is Diesel. You can FUEL up any type of vehicle. FUEL is what makes it run, be it gas, diesel, butane, or even electricity.

No explosives on Tappan Zee Bridge has sign says you must exit before bridge When transporting: 1.1 1.2 1.3 (1.4 is ok) When you exit there is no marked detour for Explosives and it puts you in the land of NO TRUCKS. If you need to cross bridge you can use the Newburg Beacon Bridge. You are...

I am one who said they would not set the speed limiter on my truck, but that being said I never speak in absolutes. A few weeks ago I was offered a super paying load going to Ontario the rate being one I could not turn down. So I accepted the load and thought about just making a run for it...

I am as political as any of you but I really don't see what can be done. If they put up "NO PARKING" signs and I got a parking ticket what would be the defense "I have no where else to park so the ticket is unfair". It is well marked I have seen the signs many time but never figured they...

I personally thing this screams of RACISM. Had he been wondering around a high end neighborhood no one would have questioned him. BUT because a white man was wondering around a poor neighborhood he had to be up to no good. Where is Reverend Sharpton when you really need him.:rolleyes:

Actually the rate depends on the ratings of the companies you haul for the better their rating the less the factoring fee. So if you only haul AAA rated then you get lower factoring rate.

I know you knew what you meant but just tried to make it a little clearer. Like I said not correcting just more explaining. LOL:)

Not to correct but to explain a little clearer you actually sell the paper to a factoring company. You have already delivered the load and now just need to collect your pay, so you more or less give it to a collection agent and he pays you what ever the load pays minus his fee and his fee is...

Blackberry is better for app idea more options there.

There are a lot of factoring companies but if you can find a different way of doing business you will be much better off. Most companies charge 15-25% so you might as well be using your credit cards.

Guy next to you might have it. Actually there is nothing that could be done about it I was guilty those signs are very large. Just because you disagree with a law, it is still the law.
