For those who do home canning, there are many alternatives to "road grub". Once, sometimes twice a year, I will make a LARGE pot of turkey chili. Pressure can it and use it to make "taco" salads. It is a better alternative to taco salad on the road, just prepare a salad, warm up some chili and...

Thanks for the clarification. That's kind of what I figured, based on all the great info here on EO.

Where do you Expect these numbers will go with the flat rate? Is that gross or net? O/O or driving for fleet owner?

Lean ground turkey works great for a meatloaf, and it does not have as much grease or fat. Also, instead of ketchup, it is really good with cream of mushroom soup on top(the fat free variety, which also happens to be lower in sodium than the 'low sodium' variety...Or vice versa, I always have to...

Not to mention the fact that E-Logging doesn't know when I would be SAFER to take a rest break, BUT , oh yeah, my clock is ticking! And I'm not referring to the 'new' 30 minute break.

And the truck next to them then takes a ride to the truck wash.

Re: Disgruntled FEDEX CC st8 truck drivers.....Where are they gonna go?? Landstar?? Absolutely. Working as a team ( carrier,driver or O/O,customer,sales,dispatch, etc.) , the business grows. All parties involved are happier and more profitable when working toward the same goal.

Re: Disgruntled FEDEX CC st8 truck drivers.....Where are they gonna go?? Landstar?? Very well said. " Us against Them" rarely works out for "Us",regardless of which one you are. It's lose/ lose.

Thanks Lawrence. I'm still researching at the moment. As an O/O for 20+ years, it's going to be a different world driving for a fleet owner. Although I guess it will be good for the fleet owner since I am already in the habit of taking care of equipment and watching the margins.

I stopped in a walmart today for supplies. There was a flatbed TT getting murphy diesel for .10 less than the pilot down the road.

I believe Turdville is in Mississippi. or maybe near Detroit.:)

Can we apply that math to trucking rates? 400 miles x $2.00/mile = $4000:D

Not posted...and you wouldn't want it anyway. Linehaul is $3000 from Dayton,OH to PC, FL

So...it is...just eat a cup:eek:

Ok Simpsonville Ky today Dayton tomorrow

WOW!! I could never come close to that number...maybe 10 at the most...usually just 4-6

We had contests to see who could eat the most! But I guess you did too, to get the empty boxes:D

I know they have truck parking between them and the motel

you got that right. But they are too good to pass up. Just plan a quick stop ahead. I can't pass the one on I-65 @exit 117 in KY without stopping.
