:):):) I would have to echo this...before my Carrier days, as a Contractor, my experience mimics the typing of Phil. In particular IF you have non "cookie cutter" type equipment with heavier/more cube capacities, and other freight handling capabilities. I was continually amazed at the...

"Does not cost them anything", EH? There may be a number of reasons not apparent to you for your rejection, such as, telephone demeanor, equipment type, location to load from home base, etc. Best you LEARN to work WITH a Carrier that has BOTH yours and their best interests in mind. And, when...

Good luck if you are expecting any net from your load pay! However, there is plenty of Beach with plenty of breeze.

Companys cannot continue to put Rookies in 80 MPH trucks, they need to be cut back.

Stay off 27 below Orlando......way too many stop lights if you are in a hurry. My route from there would be 65 to Montgomery over to 321 to Dothan, believe it's 52 to Bainbridge, GA, 27 S to I10, E to exit 225, S a couple miles to 19/27 S to Chiefland, Alt 27 to I75......Mostly 4 lanes/65 mph...

Toy trucks EH!........."BAN THE VAN"

I'd prolly have to have a one sided discussion and splain that moving a little freight allows her to eat and live indoors.

Just an example there Buddy

IF you are in the Carpet Business....You ARE Commercial and should have as a minimum a DOT number and Medical Card to be on the road with equipment. Also, if the truck is rated at 25,999 lbs and the truck weighs 19599 empty and you load 7000lbs you are in the soup. Maybe you shoulda weighed...

And it should NOT be total freedom until such time that the individual/s display that they conduct themselves as adults and get most of the wtf's of the biz behind them. Nothing wrong with some arms length oversight while allowing new drivers to make decisions/mistakes that do not alienate...

Not in the Biz any longer....sold out and retired. You prolly would have liked our equipment tho...mostly Argosy or Farmall Cabovers with 110 inch double bunk Condos, 30 ft boxes and steerable tags allowing us to CARRY 35,000 or so pounds instead of the cookie cutter 24 footer and tag with...

Fractured 4 ribs and had a lung resection about a month ago........other than that, wunnerfull!

May I suggest looking into using a Medical Savings Account instead of full blown insurance if the two of you are in good health. That approach worked very well for many of our Contractors. With your apparent experience and credentials seems to me the only thing you will be giving up if you...

Being a Fleet Owner would be entertaining.....but, try the Carrier gig for a while IF you really want to be amazed.

Just as good, I guess.

In case you are interested.....Car Show today, Shields Park, Seymour.

Believe you guys are REALLY hard up for something to do. Get a job!!!

I certainly hope we find out. I am interested to see how all the American non-entrepreneurial types handle it, you know the ones whom are content to have big brother or, big sister managing their lives. Prolly be a bit of a shock.

Prolly a 50/50 chance......spose?

It's been a while since I started a thread here about some of the unique Expediting equipment we have built over the years. Some examples have been followed on, mostly by Owner Operators and folks with their own Authority. Fleet owners as a rule, continued with the "cookie cutter" Expediter...
