thanks again. Jack Berry

thanks for the update. what is the mileage like when not idling in 100+ heat? Jack Berry

use the 'search'? DOH!! thanks ldb Jack Berry

halfway across country empty to pu a load is normal? phoenix dallas? seems to me that running an empty truck 1400 miles at company expense is, well you tell me. i won't take offense. Jack Berry

my friend from swift explained to me at church this morning that the company gives the driver a fuel card. the company buys at the fleet rate. so is the fsc paid on the diff between the fleet price and the market price? as a team he and his wife split .35 cpm. Jack Berry

on their website here, and for pam and maybe usa truck also, expedite solutions offers after training beginner rate of .28 cpm. now if i take a 700 mile run that pays me 196 bucks. if the truck gets 8 mpg that is 87.5 gal. multiply that by three bucks a gal and you get 262.50. um, i am a little...
