Re: 1st post: any companies give you complete choice over when, where, if you take a I guess a disclaimer is in order. Nothing personal with me either. However(coma) There are {some} that seem to come here that truly want info. Problem is many don't have the background or socialzation to...

Re: 1st post: any companies give you complete choice over when, where, if you take a Hey Ark, with your stellar experience with someone handleing your equipment/freight, i'd have figgured you'd be one of the first ones seeing thru this foolishness. What do you need, s'more education by em??

Re: 1st post: any companies give you complete choice over when, where, if you take a Dunno Dave, me think the response may be that that kinda gig wouldn't provide nuff revenue. Seems we got a trailer to support in the future. Sides, that kinda thing may cause too much demand in that period...

Re: 1st post: any companies give you complete choice over when, where, if you take a Seems to me that we have here the ultimate, champeen roasted goose hunter in our midst. I'm jes kinda wonder'in WHY y'all are wasting yer finger skin??

Well Christmas is over before it got here. I was impressed with the fact that new guy has been doing his thing for an extended period and (assumeably) dealing with unortidox hours while performing. Additionally, there was no extensive concern about goofy extremely unimportant things like a...

We used to haul a lot (at least one load a week) for toyota from IN to CA. I remember back then, hoping folks would continue buying those anchors. They did!!

That thought seems to have come directly from the truck stop coffee klotch. Y'all gotta remember, each supposidly "good" place is not good EVERY DAY, and each "bad" place isn't bad EVERYDAY.

Ten trucks? If you were getting twenty phone calls a day, i'd think would be a stretch. Any more than that, i'd have to speak with them about phone discipline. I'd say you can't charge for the "wait'in for the call" that is just part of what you signed up for. Maintaining ten trucks as they...

Better half/opposite sex, Christmas present, been on the road a long time. Really Jack, don't your imagination work better'n that?? But, I always chose to assemble gifts that were relevant to the recipient from exotic/unique places while I traveled. Shur is more meaningfull than...

Well now, hey charles, jefferson and the rest of you, she seems to not know that those boys are not the only ones making "calls" because of their responsibilities. Amazing that how little is really understood bout the realities of the business world. But I suspect, the most of their incomming...

Leo, are you growing a shell? C'mon give us some of that opinionated, one sided blast that we are used to. I had no idea you have gone thru all the sizes. C'mon, ya gotta know which one. Please tell us.

Leo is correct. It's unanswerable. Bottom line for me, nobody in the biz has it too tuff. I always figgured, expediting was the EASIEST money I made in my lifetime. Cept for this retired thing.

Like I typed earlier, it's all good. I wonder tho, if the foolishness of the motel and towing bills will take a trip thru the toys pocket?? I'd like to read the post if the "drivers" had "worked" for a contractor, and had figgured outside the box like these two and holed up under load...
