I"m with IRT......I'm on a 40/60 split, owner pays for fuel, truck maintenance, etc. BUT, we keep track of dh, try to keep that to a minimum as much as we can. . Don't take advantage of the owner, he doesn't take advantage of us. We take good care of his equipment. We want to go home, it's...

I agree, Hawk. Guess this guy wants the whole pay...never mind paying the truck payment, huh?

Like I said If I stay out more than the usual team of which i do well then U know the rest. If You got the Equipment and Ibe getting the loads and be poping and u be making the money U know the rest right. Like I said My Friend I been out since May here it is Aug you do the math. Only...

Geez, IRT... you have a lot of demands for being a steering wheel holder. Owner would pay for you to go 500 miles to the house? I'd have you sticking your thumb out. To answer your question, JC... it all depends on the company you're signed on with. High fsc and fair dh wouldn't be bad for the...

Actually friend Honda King does sit up in Northern Michigan with snow up to his......sleeping in a tent drinking Labatts and eating jelly donuts going around and saying drop and give me twenty.... eh? Really though what kind Low Life would hold Military Service agaisnt anyone who is in the...

I just tossed out stay where you are. That's my opinion on your question but let me add that it's based on your saying $800 after all deductions. I take that to mean taxes, social security etc. and you have a check for $800 each week to carry to the bank. Add to that you are home every night in...

We are steering wheel holders. We are paid easy money to do this. If any new product will make my business more profitable and make my job safer with less time involved, I'm all for it. We are not Indy racers, airline pilots, astronauts, etc. One expample of using the GPS is the...

The gps is all well and good, but I think it is just another way to turn a driver into a steering wheel holder. I mean you aren't even planning your own route any longer. Instead you let a piece of equipment do it for you. Then the next thing you know you have a steering wheel holder with a gps...

I guess I don't understand why they expect us to pay for fuel to haul their customer's freight. I've paid over $1,000 for fuel this month. My spreadsheet says I'm not making $ 1.20 per mile as my contract says. ...I'm making about $1 per mile. . In my opinion that is like hiring you to...

If I were sitting in El Paso, especially 4th of July Week, and were offered a 1000 mile trip, the question I'd be asking is not "Can I get fuel bonus money," but "What's it worth to me to get out of El Paso without having to deadhead the whole way on my own dime?" __________________ And that...

I have to admit that having a resume does assist with the required previous employment verifications. Resumes do differ - JimBob that pays $35 to have a resume professionally produced will still appear to be that $35 per hour steering wheel holder, while the best driver/contractors will...

'Don't wanna conform'? Isn't that kinda like thinking outside the box? :p HotFreight... yes, that is a good summary of what a resume used to do. But now that they're becoming mandatory, doesn't the 'surprise' and the 'top of the list' kinda go out the window? Doing one cause they hafta...

your right....... well she and i are not like. life long buddies or anything as such...... i been trying to figure out a way to let me boss know..... with her knowing i rated on her. i just cant believe she is doing that. and here i am in Iowaaaaaa lol where its freezin...... i had my truck...

That's a tough situation to be in. On one end, you have an irresponsible friend. On the other, a fleet owner who both of you run for. I suggest you call your friend back up and warn her to stop spending the owner's money, or you'll have to let him know. Suggest to her to start paying for fuel...

Ya know, I understand the frustration. I have a good friend who recently came to the conclusion that their weight was getting out of control. Now even six months before, I had heard from this person how they wanted to drop some pounds and start going to the gym. I would see them again and...

"you ***cannot*** make a better decision based on your years of experience" My response to that would be... "If you were a dispatcher for as long as I've been a driver, you'd know how stupid you sound." "We have deemed that you do not need to know that information." That reminds me of a...

Ok, as far as hiring emplyees vs. contractors goes, here's my 2 cents worth of knowledge, having watched this within the air freight industry for a number of years. A P & D company starts out with a couple of forwarding clients. They buy or lease a couple of trucks to handle mostly the local...

If I thought my truck was leaking and not burning oil I'd put a peice of cardboard or something semi clean underneath when I parked for my 10 hour break then when I woke up if I saw any oil I'd know if I had a leak and how bad ir was. That's just one of many things that could have been done to...

I am a vehicle owner/operator who just happens to haul freight for a living. I would hate to think that someone would think that I am one of those truck driving guys, what do they call them?? oh yea truckers, once upon a time I was a steering wheel holder and thought I was a supertrucker BUT...
