Disaster!!!

I was always mystified by the start/end date FDCC uses for calculation. IRS 1099 instructions say it is the date money changed hands. IE: Check date. However the settlement date is different. Then there is also a computer date.

The hardest thing for the night driver to adjust to, is resisting getting up to join co-driver for meals etc. Even with that done circadian rhythm demands you get very sleepy. I have always said, if those sleep sensors were ever hooked up to the resting driver, new rules would be sure to come...

You did the right thing. The fine and DAC report would have been on you. Even if your carrier put it in writing you were to take it, I think you would still be fined.

Now with retirement I am "UnRedytrk".

Ran into a BR unit once. He said he runs good up and down the I 95 corridor (East Coast) I don`t have a clue if they would do well on the west coast. I wish I had asked him about where you sleep on L/O. Hotels is the only thing I can figure.

1951 Got my driver license. I remember when there was no such thing as TV. Our phone number had 4 digits (a party line)

Thanks Lawrence. Your best wishes mean a lot to me. I do not intend to be a stranger and will butt in from time to time.

Just so you can have a second retirement party. Heck George you will still be middle age.

I have vivid memories of "April in Erie". Much prefer looking at that white stuff from my living room. Oh by the way, I worked every day for 62 years, since age 16. I think I have earned a rest.

Be sure you mark which half you have showered, so you will remember the next time.

Anyone else experience the pain in the a** it is to buy GASOLINE on the T-Chek card. Most of the fuel desk people have no clue how to process it. I finally gave up and switched ro my debit card.

I am going to need a lot of time to think of answers to your questions. Stay tuned. For openers. About Women. I recall running into a team of women in a C. Year must have been 1989. Also encountered Dispatcher Virginia who went on to become president of FDCC.

You are so right. As I have documented in a earlier thread, rates have not increased over the last 20+ years. If rates had increased as the CPI Index says they should. I would be continuing.

My "C" Was terminal in June 2013. Drove a "B" for a owner since then.

Yes Moot, I have given up my copyright.

Thanks Leo. I remember our meeting very well. As I recall you were still in a big rig at that time but had your eye on expediting. Right?

This day I am announcing my retirement. Thanks to all my friends on EO, this forum has provided a connection amongst peers unimagined when I began with Roberts Express in Oct 1988. I must say I would not be taking this action if revenue was what it should be today. I am not blaming FDCC or...

My information is about 20 years old, so take with that in mind. My co-driver at one time ran a branch of Tri-State Semi-Driver school. At one time CRST entered into an agreement whit them to be their prime feeder for students. She said they were only interested in people who would run as cheap...
