Charles, that is a real time question for the mathmaticly challenged. Back when I was trying to recruit drivers they had been used to running for 60% of about a buck fifty (Contractor rate). I was paying 50% of two buks (Carrier rate). Nope! They ain't running for no lousy 50% I heard...

Absolutely!!! IF, I lived in the Detroit area, and wanted to stay close to home. Here ya go Hawk!!!!

You'll drive yer sef nuts trying to figgure it out. Jes don't try. Cause one thing for sure in this business.......thay ain't nuthin fo sure.

Underdog remember this, that... every [good] place is not GOOD everyday, and, every [bad] place is not BAD everyday. It's amazing stuff we have here in this biz. We have no crystal balls to consult for you. You'll jes have ta SWAG it.

I second that. Never used them myself. However, if you must....make a real plan to wean them within six months. You can do that if you don't buy too many toys.

I wonder if'n a fella would give up that dollah cup of coffee, an jes smoke that two bit smoke, how much could he save?? I'll have to do the math someday {when} I have time.

Nope!! They can't be happy. It's either too far,,,too hot,,, not far enough,,, too cold,,, can't get outa the lanes,,, there is noooo freight outa Washington,,,, California sucks,,, pays too much,,,,(read: so i'll take a little time off), yada, yada, yada. Love reading this crap. An yer...

Chef, me tink we have a comprehension problem, or a math problem on our hands here. At a bare minimum we have a sumpin problem with your nemisis.

Bloomington, IN. Got a couple C note to lay over because the consignee didn't have the equipment to unload me. Needed the reset anyway, been Indy to FL panhandle, to Roseau, MN, Bemidgi, MN to Ankeny, IA to Chi town, Chi town to here since da 5th.

A whole "month"???

A bit of freindly advice from the local cumrudgen, "Never 0wn anymore trucks than you can drive at the same time by YOURSELF". Moot, what in the world is reality in this biz?? And yes, I think you should meander into the area of fleet owner......your typed storys are sooooo intertaining.

OMG, you must be about to bash something?

Absolutely NOT from the house. Having typed that, i've been known to, (when having been out for an extended time, and finding myself in a remote location), load my truck for a bit more than fuel money, IF, the freight goes to the house, and is heavy enough to make the truck ride better than...

Yes, anything that don't kill ya, should make you stronger. But, not to worry about me listening to the tales of woe in a TS, I don't do Truck Stops well. Heading out Tuesday again to see whats up. Maybe i'll cross paths with some of you. Look'in for somemore of that newb juice.

Seems a classic tale of trying to screw the pooch. Why not just run a cargo van, or, get something that can provide all the creature comforts ya want, haul the freight needed......and log like yer sposta. You know, "lets not complicate the simple".

Look up DTH Expediters out of the Atlanta area. They move a lot of freight in and out of that area, and all over the country. Regardless, as a team you won't have any trouble finding a home just look for a good fit for the way you like to do business(read: the larger companys will babysit way...

"We"???? Hmmmm.

Ruther be lucky than what a lot of em consider "good".

I dunno about slo, but did a Sunday run to The Metro Opra in the big apple. Rested, and went over to Javits and picked up some show returns to bring back. 1628 miles house to house, jes short a four K and it's Wednesday. Seen a Daystar straight and a Tristate van on the side of the road on...

"Optimized choosing"???? Man, you be full'a them twentyfive cent words.
