Yes, there is definite truth to the the statement that each customer probably does get charged differently to some extent. I can recall doing a 45 mile run and getting paid $132, then the next day I could run for Owens Brockway or Ashland Chemical, drive 70 miles, and end up with $56. Thanks...

Yes, thank you RLENT, you read what I was asking. On the old FECC settlement statements they would give you the total billing of each job you did, the percentage paid to the driver (and at the time it was 58%, mere trivia), but they also gave you (meaning us) the billing per mile that they...

Just curious as to what the companies are charging for moving freight on a per mile basis. Ten years ago I know FECC was charging $2.50/mile for a van, but diesel was $.88/gallon also. Any current numbers/rates out there?

There is a grinding noise coming out from under my hood that can be heard from the drivers seat quite well. A familiar sound, just like how the vacuum pump sounded like last time it blew on me, last October. Instead of being held hostage at a dealer that claims they are serving my best...

Thank you all for seeing the big picture!! I've been complaining for months now about all this discounted freight and it cost me my job!! The company will never get the clue. There is always somebody ready to take the plunge, just as I did 3 years ago. Well, with the Mexican invasion, they will...

Teacel you are so right about making the companies rich, and it's not just big companies, it's whoever is in charge that gets to do the billing. ASHLAND CHEMICAL!!! PPG!!! OWENS BROCKWAY!!! CHYSLER!!! Big nationwide accounts for FXCC. What do the drivers get paid? NADA!!! $54.00!! But they are a...

Welcome to the world of 9 - 5 & unions. I have a friend up in Portland who lost his "high-tech" communications job last Feb. Guess what he's doing? That's right - driving for Tri-Met, Portlands transit company. He did it down here in Orange county back in the late 70's & early 80's, and it is...

Hey everybody, I'm back; thank you so much for the understanding about what has happened. It's not really that big of a deal; just that I have a big van with 5 holes drilled in the roof. My "vacation" was fun - just when you get settled in you have to leave. I only went out as a fill-in player...

After 3 years of ups & downs in this industry, it is time to get my life moving in a forward direction. After getting nothing but discounted freight (Ashland, PPG) I have had enough. My relationship with FXCC has come to an end. I have enjoyed this open forum, and, as having been the 2nd...

I was getting runs - a $54.00 run on a Tuesday, and then a $400.00 run on a Thursday, and then a $58.00 run on a Monday, then a $59.00 run on a Wednsday, then a $49.00 run on a Thursday, then a $250.00 run on a Friday... need I go on? Notice I said was? yesterday I started peeling the signs off...

Fed Ex may no longer haul for Ashland Chemical very soon. Right now a team of salespeople from FedEx are kissing Ashland's rear end to keep the account. I beleive this has to do with some profanity on a driver sign-in sheet & now it has gone to the very top of both companies. Personal insight...

how come you don't contract with 10 different companies in order to get flooded with offers. if you did this, you'd be able to turn down offers at will with all the work being offered by multiple companies. Hey Goomba what the heck do you think our companies are for? They go through brokers &...

maybe I,m in the wrong place and just don't know it !!Let the games begin.... The games began when you signed the lease papers. You are in the right place, the same place as everyone else, so just keep taking the loads that are offered & hope that things get better. I have been on this site and...

So true. And now here is one for you: Wouldn't it just be easier to get the ATM fees & bank charges from your monthly bank statement? That way you only have 12 sheets of paper to go through instead of (as in my case) about 50 million reciepts! Plus you not only get the fee the ATM charges, but...

Weave - When I bought the van they set me up with apportioned plates. In Calif, the sales tax, registration costs, smoke ckeck, DMV fees, all combined are pretty high. By getting apportioned plates in OK I bypassed all those expences. And the weight factor is one of the reasons I am appealling...

Good God Rich, didn't you learn about Fern 2 years ago? I switched over to Sel-Way, and after Sel-Way said now they can't help me any more because of Fern's screw up, I have switched over to Truckers Bookeeping Agency, also out of OK. I have been audited by the state of OK & now owe $247 in...

WOW!! I am So surprised! I have had the best week ever! Last week when i posted here I was complaining about discounted loads & A loads. I called "The Office" & complained, & sure enough,I got 2 runs at 10 miles each that paid $140. Then I got a run from Ontario (CA) to Redding for the Forest...

The following is a copy of my post on Joe's site: Well I did it again! I refused a load for PPG picking up in Santa Fe Springs going to Nogales. 538 miles for $489. And since I am on the Calif lock, I would have deadheaded home to add another 568 to that, coming to just over 1100 miles, which...

I love your wit & sarcasm... will you marry me? Oh, you want someone who has a steady job and makes lots of money? Better keep looking! Just thought I'd ask. Since my "Am I Nuts??" post last monday deadheading home to L.A. from Phoenix I have not moved at all. Look at all the fuel I'm saving...
