Who knows anything about Bolt Express for a cargo van based out of Detroit? Sarkus

Is anybody else real slow right now? When do we expect business to pickup after the 4th of July holiday? I think most of the auto plants shut down for retooling for the new model year in July. Very little freight out of my home area (Detroit) since late June. Anyone's thoughts???? Sarkus...

Anyone know anything about Rocket Expedited for a B Unit? Sarkus

If you're still looking for a dog from the earlier post, you can go to my website, Dogamaroo.com and click on the links to Petfinder. There are over 184,000 homeless adoptable animals on Petfinder any given time, more and more I would imagine that has something to do with Hurricane Katrina dogs...

Posted this on the Newbie's Forum......but will try a post here too. Anyone know anything about Express Way, Inc., out of Saline, MI? Any response appreciated. Sarkus

Tom, Can I email you privately with a few questions? Sarkus

Anyone know anything about Express Way, Inc., out of Saline, MI? Any response appreciated. Sarkus

Anybody else experiencing slow business? Seems like I've worked about 2 days each week for the last few weeks. For any of you seasoned vets out there...........what's the typical time that business picks up? Thanks, Sarkus

Does anyone know how a fuel surcharge is calculated? I mean the rate that companies pay drivers. I'm trying to figure out if there are any factors, such as weight, distance, freight zones, or is it just a flat rate?..........like x percent of the linehaul pay for a given load. I've done some...

Thanks for the info. I was told that if you don't want to go to Canada, you don't have to. That they have two separate fleets, US and Canada. From what you're saying I imagine if you don't want to go to Canada too much, you're gonna really cut your revenues.

To clarify, I meant a B unit, cargo van at TST........

Can anyone tell me anything good, bad or indifferent about TST? Thanks, Sarkus:)

I would agree with most of the posts here that walking is probably the best and most convenient exercise you can do as a driver, although it does get a little tough in the bad weather. Push-ups, sit ups, pull-ups, are all good exercises you can do without having to carry any equipment. There...

Appreciate everyone's response. Vernon, that seems like a pretty good way to do figure out whether a run is profitable or not.

You wouldn't be a dispatcher would you x06col ?

Stay out quite often and still don't get a load :) :P

Hello and greetings to All; I posted a message a while ago trying to get some feedback about yearly income, and I'm concluding that I'm well below the average. People who responded suggested that I probably wasn't being utilized properly. Maybe I'm not accepting the right loads. I've done...

Can anyone tell me..........is it slow out there for anyone? I'm averaging 600 - 800 paid miles a week right now. Anybody else this slow for a B unit? Sarkus

Terry and Rene, Just did the math and unfortunately, your math is very close to correct. Just revised my revenue projections and based on my last settlement, I projecting just under $38,000 per year in gross revenue. It does look like your figure of 5 pre-tax cents to spend any way you want...

Well, let me see if I can do some math and come up with some numbers. I do believe that I should be doing better even for a one person van. I too, expected to be at least somewhere in the $50,000 range for gross revenues. I'll do the math, but I do think the problem is the empty miles. I've...
