Oh Turtle please tell me this in not true.....

It has been a nice convenience to have this as a settlement deduction and I hate to see the price go up but the unit is still worth the cost.

Right now is the perfect time to figure out what it really costs you to run the truck and what your rate per mile needs to be. While you are getting your taxes ready to be done look at your expenses and how many miles you drove. You can cut your costs and still make money. I agree with...

Do you know what your rate per has to be to break even? Many E units 0/0 can make it on .85 that know their costs and how to run a lean business. You need to find work on your rate per mile and also what you need per day to survive. A blanket statement that no D trucks can run for .85 a...

You are 100% right on what you are saying get out there and learn what you can from many different sources. Take what you learn and apply it to your business. We had to change our business model when the price of fuel sky rocketed, now with the slump we will once again change our business...

I hope you guys all get really good paying loads and get out of the artic areas! I am cold down here in Birmingham and it is 14 right now!

Well maybe getting out of Florida is really not a priority right now!

or when you have explosives placards on and you are following your directions on the QC. I had one kept saying you cannot come in here you are to near the houses and I kept saying what gate then???? He finally heard me and said oh we had to open a new gate the commercial gate is closed and...

Fuel ends up costing you much more then you see. The pump price looks good but you still have to pay your fuel taxes on that fuel.

I also think it is made up but it does bring out the point you cannot blame the company for your failure. You need to take care of your business first not sit and wait for the company to fix your problems.

Dave I think you are right on. This post can apply to any carrier right now and we need to be more pro active not reactive. We are business owners not company drivers.

What is Earthmate?

Wow Pelicn you are so right and we just ran into that. Drive here drive there and back up to that dock and they give you no details at how many different things you are going to see! I think the worst is usually going to a base as many of those guys I swear never go past the gate. The GPS is...

The PC Miler will tell you which side of the street the address is on and now many feet till address. I also like that when you need to make an interstate change and the exit is on the left hand side you are told a few miles in advance. It amazes me how many businesses we go to that do not...

Atlas Shrugged is awesome right now I am listening to her book "The Fountain Head" I have read it and now am listening to it. It is as long as Atlas Shrugged. Both very good books.

You are right Laredo is sounding pretty good and we are sitting in Alabama but we sure do not want to go norht right now.

What I liked was he was saying how he feels not how we should feel.

We are running the PC Miler GPS next to a Lowrance GPS and there are a few problems. The Lowrance has been over two years since an update and the Lowrance can still find more addresses then the PC Miler. We have also noticed the PC Miler calling roads no HazMat and they are clearing marked for...

7 Loads for 2008 up to Jan 11th average length of load 628 miles 1.61 for loaded miles 5 Loads for 2009 up to Jan 11th average length of load 483 miles 1.74 for loaded miles This is a very short slice of time and would be better looked at on the 31st of the month to do a comparison.

At most companies you do not have to put the company logo all over your van. You can go with the small door signs. This though can lower the percent you will get for your percentage of the load pay. You are responsible for taking the signs off and often will not receive your escrow money...
