    What's the Deal Really?

    From what I have read each person has their own take on what they think the different pay plans mean. I would suggest that someone who is new to the business ask the questions directly of the company they are considering and get the information from the source not another drivers opinion...

    Dang gum scanners!

    You know Layout in all of our time using the scanner we have not had any problems with getting paid on time with the correct amount. We had one glitch when a scan sent to safety did not work like we thought it should and I found out I created the problem by not sending the paperwork in...

    Healty alternatives

    Flat rate???

    I agree with you and it has been a difficult decision each time we have purchased a truck.... With that being said from the time we have got into trucking about 30 years ago the comments have been the same. Deregulation is coming, it came and went still buying trucks, rates are going down each...

    Flat rate???

    Looking at the numbers it is amazing how the new truck can often cost less then the old truck. Better fuel mileage and less in maintenance costs each month. There can also be the piece of mind of having a reliable truck to drive and not constantly worrying if the truck hiccups that something...

    Slow down and save

    We have no set speed as sometimes it makes sense to speed up if we can unload early and be ready for another load, to get to a safe place to stop for the 1/2 break, or a safe place to switch drivers. Normally though 58 mph get us the best fuel mileage and has us relaxed at the end of the day...

    Flat rate???

    In this situation the amount of dead head for a flat rate truck would have meant turning down the load. This is the problem I see when FXCC did not make the Flat Rate all miles. If FXCC will cover this load they are going to have to find a closer truck to the pickup, there will be no choice...
