Well den, know we no what be impotant. If'n someone ain't astute nuff to gleen information from a post that is important to THEM, then the poster should jess save them fingerprints.......I guess. Only problem I personnaly observe with the original poster report is......occupants ok?, or...

Splain please, Just what is Lol about being in the ditch?????? And, the other fella must be a JAG, but, I hope he still understood the message if he's on 65 and choosing to keep moving.

Ahh, not sure which length you are asking about, but, the overall length limits range from 40 feet to 65 feet depending on the state. It's all listed in the Motor Carriers Atlas. Even with this cyber stuff, good books are still worth reading.

An A cdl is simply one more tool. Jes like a lift gate, 110 inch door, extra capacity, pallet jack, e-trac, etc.. Depends if you want to be bothered or not.

The really, really disheartening part is.......y'all CONTRACTORS consider y'sef's Owner Operators......when yer really Contractors. They'll take yer money jes the same. And there is a difference!!!!!!!

If the price is 95 cent a mile (driving for someone) and you pay fuel, (30-35 cent a mile for fuel), i'd prolly be knocking on their door tomorrow as a newb. IF, that is 95 cent, and YOU own the truk, better keep making the calls.

Hey nobread, after reading your response, and having read many, many questions from newbs since this site started, i'm going to suggest that you are lightyears better equipped to enter this business than any of your responders in this thread were when thay were newbs. Reads like you've taken...

Didja watch that, read that, or feel that??? It really does make a difference ya know. Regardless, i'm heading toward the Keys. Stayed too long in the Hoosier this season and got snowed on. I'll learn someday.

OMG! There is that four letter word again. But, isn't that what this business is all about?? Fun, luck and travel.

I'd suggest Missy, that you begin to bone up on the "little known" things in your trade and what "does" these days pertain to straight trucks. Crutches appear in many forms and maybe this is the FMSCA way of kicking those crutches. Dunno? Regardless, any infraction it appears will be costly...

It is simply gain vs pain. If your contractor is WORTH going thru extra steps for because they are math challenged, then do it. Otherwise, let someone else have the headache.

Companys are jes like the driving dikheads that are out there, some are pretty good dikheads and some are not. You'd be better off, maybe giving it some try, then typing back about the results. We need some interesting reading.

Charles, yer jess gitt'in yer big toe wet in this business, you'll have to rassel a lot of bears befor you hang yer spurs up. It's best to jes rassel em yer sef, rather than ask here. The good ones can't imagine what you are going thru with Contractors, and the roast goose hunters don't care.

As I have typed before, FSC i'm convinced was devised by a bean counter somewhere, that, saw it as a way to get creative, even again, with the numbers that we all work with to advance their position. Regardless, we all keep attuned to fuel prices one way or another on a daily basis and we...

Surprisingly freight IS billed "that way". Meaning....all in. It really has nothing to do honesty, or creative math or anything else, it is just straight forward business. If you can't run the freight for what it was offered then don't run it. Pretty simple really.

You'd be suprised tho.....how many DO refuse to open an account in the same bank. Too much bother for them. Can't let the Carrier help them it seems.

Reads to me like Charles is "rassl'in" that math challenged contractor thingie. I guess you'll have to change your accounting so's it reads like they want, or.......move on to the next contractor.

Look'in for that "positive" reinforcement, ya know. Moot, yer bad! being a smart azz.

One of these days Vinny,, you'll learn not to tip your equipment over and scratch the freight. it's pretty simple really. Also, i'd suggest, you not worry about making the big buks with more exposure because you simply are not ready for that next step. IF, you PAY for insurance coverage...

In reality it is simply about nickels and dimes in this business when it comes to drivers. i have found tho...if you have to have a discussion about whom funds arrival at the "JOB" then...jes ask "whom funded your way to McDonalds"? If your prospect has THAT question for an issue, i'd...
