Just so you know the owner of Mayfield is a member here and Dave uses the screen name Bruno. I would say he is an honest guy and big enough that the risk of not being paid is not an issue. I believe that most of the time you can do better running for 60/40 because you take on a little more risk...

Don't purchase such an old van for business, you will want one 5 years old or newer. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

I don't even think you lose the check it just ends up being a dollar for dollar reduction after a certain amount. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

Need a group hug? Maybe you could start some posts on how to successfully deal with a recruiter or things drivers should see as a warning sign when a recruiter is promising certain things. They don't have to be full articles but just some quick tips to start a discussion. Sent from my SCH-I535...

Originally I was going to go home but decided I would just stay out and keep doing my job the way I always do because I don't want to bow down to the tyranny of the DOT. There were a lot of people that looked like they had issues at the scale on the north side of DC. Sent from my SCH-I535...

I have a feeling the drivers would police themselves now, of course there will be the occasional idiot but that happens now. The biggest challenge the driving industry faced was empowering the driver to say no to the company. That hurdle was overcome because of government regulations and unions...

The 30 minute break will be the biggest issue and will likely be the one "worked around" the most. If making some adjustments to a log book is the difference between getting a load delivered that day or the next it will be a tough call. You can be sure there will also be a lot of 16 or 17 minute...

But is it accurate?

I don't like it because it is just one more regulation, one more gotcha for the DOT to put you out of service. I really don't think the impact will be wide spread but will certainly hurt some drivers. I believe we can say with certainty that it will lead to cheating on log books and HOS...

Paying for fuel is how you make extra money by exceeding the fuel surcharge MPG. There are many issues that can come up when the owner pays for fuel.

If this was resolved in 2010 then it should be off your record this year. Are they telling you why they are turning you down? You wouldn't qualify as having experience since it has been to long since you last drove a truck. You may have to go out with a trainer for a few weeks so you may want to...

There are companies that will allow you to train her although they may want you to get 8-12 months of recent experience, Panther is one that will allow this. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums mobile app

Thanks for the reply John, I was wondering what your drivers think of the company and what type of people they are. I have never heard someone run your company down but I have heard a couple of positive things but that was awhile ago so I was just wondering. I am looking to help someone find a...

If they feel like jumping in myself and I am sure others would like to hear from them. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums mobile app

I'm not trying to be funny by asking this but do you have any drivers on here? It seems like other than the flat bed drivers everyone drives for Load 1, FedEx, Panther, and a few that run for multiple carriers. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums mobile app

Just because people disappear from the forums it doesn't prove they were fired. There are many that didn't realize what the job was or just don't like it. As for the difference in turnover rates between LTL and OTR it should be pretty obvious. If I got paid $20+/hr, had health care, retirement...

I love my company and wouldn't leave unless something drastic changed. There are a couple of things I would like to see streamlined but I am not sure that they could be, but the owner is a phone call away, no hold time. They have me well on my way to getting my own truck and have offered...
