Me tink, the only mean thing in the whole thread would involve the owner, if, she were to be able to afford the wait for pay and transport to orientation. Can't believe a premier owner like Dave has not stepped up and snatched this stellar, over-the top, money making driver.

I spose by now that you realize that you should have, maybe, gotten off you're az and typed some things BEFORE your "benefits" were running out? Eh? This occupation is not for the folks with an employee mentality....ie. "what's in it for me only". Regardless, seems to me inyour situation(not...

Actually, the "safe" road is not always the best. Being with the "herd" certainly is safer, but way less rewarding. Try a few of the loadboards if your Carrier is not keeping you running profitably, or if you find yourself wayyy in the boonies somewhere. Fuel money plus a little bit is always...

This is too funny. We have dime droppers that are genuine turds, mothers that have never given birth giving large advice, others that obviously don't realize that children can be trained to behave themselves, and all "advice" in between. Unfortuneatly, the one that has been there and done that...

Re: Selectus Conference; Who's Attending? What would be so interesting about a Carrier that operates from home, or the beach condo, or the camping machine, or.........in this day of automation?????? Any CEO in attendance would be happy to show a newb what's happening in that group, they...

I'm in the area, so i'll be visiting to recontact with partners of the past.....mostly a social thing for me. Your attendance WILL be an eye opener for you, given your experience as a Contractor and have not yet delved anyfurther into the biz...as of yet. To the folks that read EO and are able...

You can always get ahold of a "live person" at Panther if you have some good numbers. We always had a pallet jack and deck plate on all of our equipment for the transfer of freight. Unlike most trucks out there that don't want to bother to be bothered......like many of our contractors. MY...

I did not have a Fleet of one truck, however, even with multiple trucks we didn't always have a truck close to take care of a rescue. Finding a rescue truck is the easy part......the alliance has just short of 10,000 trucks available nationwide at any given time. Kinda large potatoes compared...

As I recall, they were convinced,(after a couple weeks in the business) they had bitten off way more than they could chew. Someone musta taken them under their wing for a while.

You certainly drove Southwest a long ways, past many a good Carrier still looking for that "already roasted goose". Didn't find it there either, eh?? How many Carriers have you been with, anyway??

Ahh Franco.....howdy. Still getting your emails. So i'm keeping tabs on you.

Humdullala!! Who goes there??

Just a small $1500 problem one time. You may well be advised that they change the Company name from time to time. I might add for the newbs and inflexable folks out there.......there are two kinds of truckers. The ones that have been hosed, and the ones that are gonna be hosed....no...

Kinda reminds me of the time I was looking for someone to take over my Company when I decided to retire. Had a fella show up in the yard with a shiney fairly new Sprinter whom was gung ho about being a Carrier. At the time the fella was Leased to Landstar and stated that he was not interested...

Thanks Moot for reenforcing the commenting credentials.......and I might add.....been my observations that folks carrying an attitude usually are resigned to live in a mobile home for a lifetime stead of a year or two to get started. Read the advice here, and if you cannot or won't...

Their stock has gone from less than a buck to over ten recently. I like being associated with them. Guess they're trying to share the wealth.

Well then, are there any answers that you recieved that are worthy of your consideration? There are some really good possible solutions to your income improvement suggested here. Keep having a blast while changing some things. Let us know which you changed, and which had the most impact.

Geez, that is tuff isn't it. They prolly choose to up front eliminate the folks that wanna "try" this expediting gig I spose. I'm beginning to wonder IF there are ANY wannabe's/newb's these days that aspire above "minimum standards", to the five percenter level?? Don't believe that an o/o...

Just what are the standards that are "too high"????

Seems to me that this driver and a third came to the table with just about all the baggage a Carrier could handle.........and are blaming the carrier for giving them an opportunity that they are not taking advantage of. "Roasted goose hunters", possibly???? Lifestyle.....work for...
