"Long time paying"??? What's that got to do with anything???

More story(s) than you can imagine. Stick around as an owner a while, an you'll have plenty of your own.

What's the problem here. They pay slow. You know it, they know it, sooo...keep em on the bottom of YOUR food chain. Run a few loads for them only when it is convenient for YOU, when it is extremely profitable for YOU, put it in the pipeline, and go about the other 97% of your business. As...

Therein is the largest mistake in the figgur'in process......slamming ANYTHING jes don't work.

Actually, the whole industry experienced a slowdown in cash flow. Bottom line is, no matter what the pay period may be.....if you keep the pipeline full....there will ALWAYS be something comming out, each day,...regardless!! All the blabbing on here about having SIX months in the bank when in...

Running for fedup I completely understand where you are comming from.

It would most likely have something to do with the Carrier, or more precisely the load hunting crew of the Carrier. The importance of a Companys effort to network with the freight world cannot be over emphasized. If you are with a company of telephone anserwers and board watchers, versus a...

So, all this is happening to your "friends"? We are getting whine by way of second hand. I have as little tolerance for second hand storys as I would for second hand beer. Maybe you should jes go er alone hauling those clocks, or, sumpin, steada putting up with all this "crap" YOU don't...

See now....we want six hours steada four hours. Don't ever end!!! We whine about not making any money. We whine cause we're running too hard. IF, someone can't stand up to the plate and hit the ball that is offered.....then jes say no. Also, the Post Office is an option.......and.......they...

This is a good thread. After reading tho, it seems all you'd have to provide is an iron clad, irrevocable, guarantee that no matter what.....you can and will deliver the "roasted goose".

Y'all ain't gonna let this crapped on driver brood by his'sef is ya. Danny, ya gotta support em now. I'm jes kinda wondering if there are many out there that WOULD hold up there part of the bargan. The original poster it seemed whined about a 1000 mile run that most of you would likely kill...

Well now, seems Gator has caused some lively finger movement. It's all good! I guess if I "yap from the porch" enough I (might) be able to cause some of these owners to be more vigilant concerning placing some of these brok dik drivers in their equipment that have handled their personal...

Regardless of it all, I never understood WHY,someone would make a major investment (multiple units) then place their destiny in the hands of an organization the considers you just so much canned meat?? Care to share??

Not evident to the way I read it. Didn't see a thing bout running any loads, jes orientation and setting....not quite pay material in my book...unless the driver is hourly or something...then yess I guess there is something due. Reserves?? Do you call funds only to last a week or two on the...

You may wanna consider that......no matter what numbers you get....you can't do them being on the course much.

WTF is right. Why don't you jes go park it, steada wasting yer fingers on the puter? Miss a weeks pay an it's a crisis??? Git agrip, or, a life!!! BTW, orientation, no loads run, jes watca got comming exactly???

How do you like my Silver tractor??

Contrare there shelled one. You are spot on....except for that tongue in cheek that may be mistaken for real life.

Nope! The same bad habits WILL carry over to their own thing. being "dictated" to by a customer for what they want (as an example), is/would be the same as the "company" in their view. And many other things come into play. Funny thing, it is.

I have NEVER observed a failure as a contractor, a success as a Carrier. NEVER! A Leopard jes can't change their spots. I have however, observed successful contractors, be very successful Carriers. The attributes you all have mentioned have to be up and running ALL the time.......not jes...
