There is an excellent chance you will be very pleased with your paycheck from Jung, however, sighning and issuing blank checks to ANYONE is not a good idea. Let us know how this blind trust works out.

Kant do the platter anymore, Silvers getting to 50 buks, they'd slicy that too. Vince, happy to read Charles is holding up his end!! Ya always wonder.

It's simple Charles, they want an already hunted, cleaned and roasted goose served up as often as humanly possible.

Six years, circa 04-05 depending on how ya do the math. I experienced Roberts sell off to a couple of principals prior to the fedup brand, each time the downward spiral for contractors became more steep.......until they (IMO) run enuff of us good ones away and became their nemisis. Too many...

OMG Leo, you only had a couple Cat powered machines. Wait a while till you've had quite a few Contractors and Drivers..........then, git on the spewing ledge. BTW, never owned a Cat powered machine myself.

Nope no truth there......jes the fax. And Dave, The tree huggers been in our nickers for a while now. Amazes me the masses let em git away with it. All ya can do is build something you can live with, or, pay the price fo camping in this business.

Actually, I could see/anticipate ftp being a flasher in this business based on his early posts concerning this line of survival. No surprise to me that we are reading the tale of woe after a few months of exit.

Jes git'cha a 92 Farmall.......all problems solved. Plenty of power, hardly any sensors, decent mileage, exceptional reliability, heavy nuff frame, and.....no worrys bout tape residue.

Well now, does this mean i'm not going to get any crank when I mention that Contractors usually don't hold themselves to the same standards as their Carriers???? Kinda one way.......ain't it?????

I never used factoring as a way to preserve cash flow. However, many Companys seem to have to because their "partners", ie. their Owner Operators do not hold themselves to the higher standard they hold their Carrier to(meaning they cannot go 30 days without getting their hand greased). Sadly...

Panalpina was just making sure the business of transportation "got" conducted in places like Russia, Ukrain, Africa and all over the Middle East. (IMHO) Centuries of "floose payments" cannot be eliminated just because we tink it should be. Bout like us tinking we can spend too many young...

It's Newbee! And, with your background, you'll be jes fine in this biz. Jes git used to sleeping while going down the road steada stationary sleep.

Well yes, and how many of you in your past "positions" were allowed compensation to git to the job??? I don't tink any. Never know where freight will originate, it is a magic thing. IF, the remuneration don't crack the nut........don't agree to it. Simple! I suggest again, the fsc confuses...

Missie, wear? Splain a bit, wuz your wear hitting the guage bars, cupped, what? Or, jes plain wore out? There are Troopers out there that are anything but DOT qualified. Did yer tic say less than or what? "Has wear" should give you plenty to call a grudge. All tires have wear about the...

Now that, is prolly the most profound thing you have typed about. A combination of [mostly] bad drivers and bad truks has to be madening. I had excellent truks and drivers and that wuz enough for me. Still will recommend a Pete 330 with a 8.3 cumalong. Or, if you wanna go first class and be...

Your opportunity reads to me as industry Standard for a driver. But, some folks feel they are being "hosed", even with a sweet deal. IF, you can't get past the employee mentality, you will always feel "hosed" in this business.

Right?//////

Maybe, jes maybe the drivers have a personnal issue that "came up" with that load in transit, or the driver really didn't "wanna" do this thing anymore. Dunno. But, I read a lot bout the allmighty "Contract".

Kinda like "the plastic chair" Phil. How much crap do ya put up with? We all have our go-no go limits. Some were such azzholes I took the load home and put it on the dock cranked them hard before they got the freight, and others were in such a crap sandwich i'd a stood on my head to help em...

PM, PM, PM, PM, equals preventive maintenance. A lot cheaper to routinely do things even when they are not a problem and you are not broken down than when you are. There are routines you will learn as you move on.
