Actually I smoke Camel shorts, if that helps? Yer employment prospects actually are without question! Can't imagine taking a load with more dh than the miles,,,, unless?? I'd have to say tho (jes guessing) that turning down (A) load once in a while like that should still give ya a 90+% rate...

There ya go "experts", the door's open. Drop him a question. Ya may jes learn sump'in bout sump'in, from the newb. But nah, what could you learn from him???

yepper, a 67% (or worse) acceptance rate???? No wonder they're wanting to cull the herd. Y'all couldn't work with me a month. Having typed that, I gotta hand it to ya, yer the best thing since sliced bread for the partner carriers. No wonder there is so much freight out there.

There are some worse than him. Many seem to be fleet owners. There is a good chance, that in this environment, business sense, don't wannas, and won't do, done him in. Dunno?

Ouchee! Dave, ya might lose some finger skin on this one. Wonder'in if you'll splain?

Layout, i'll try and answer from MY perspective. We are all dealt a hand of cards in life. Some hands are good, some not so good. As unfortunate as it is, your bride it seems didn't get very good ones. Don't ask other folks to bet on your brides cards, cause i'm sure she wouldn't bet on mine.

witness, it'll amaze you what you'll have to splain to many folks that visit here, and actually just how little many understand about their profession. Most of the time it just won't be worth your time to try and articulate by typing. Like you, I don't need a full 70 all the time, as long as 8...

Tis a mess this smokee no smokee thing. A couple amusing storys for ya... A week or so ago at a clothing optional beach here in Maui (Hawaii has the most stringent smoking laws I have encountered), a few of us buks were setting in on a game of texas holdem with cigars, beer, an other smokes in...

Leo, ya start a midnite, drive 11, sleep 10, it's 2100hrs, ya drive til midnite(3 more hours). Where I went to school 11+3 wuz always 14. 24hrs, midnite to midnite. Or, if'n ya want to get techie bout pti 13.5 hrs driving. Regardless, many of you won't have to worry bout breaking the...

I'd be happy to. There is a real good chance (if'n those results are a burden to you) that WHEN under load he didn't pull off at "too many" rest spots and kept on keep'in on with the windshield time. May have had a couple 650 or 700 mile days during that period (65mph X 11= 715, jes by gitt'in...

Maybe hawk. Maybe. All I know is, I sure wuz thankfull in the past to be out there in the mix with people who "know" where the freight will pop up. Loved it!!

Seems many of you are really quick to pee on the boys honeymoon for some reason? Ya gotta understand, jes because an area isn't "known" by you to generate freight, don't mean there isn't any freight there. I'd suggest to the experts here, that you may wanna start taking "everything that comes...

In the past we rented Condos for us and our drivers and contractors at various locations during the spring break period to discuss plans for the busy period ahead, lick our wounds from the first quarter(if needed) and in general rest and recreate. Did the same thing about a year ago...

gj, i'd say you found a place some time ago, similar to the one you are describing. Had you approached it different (with not so many didn't wannas) you'd been in tall cotton then. You may choose to type for others benefit precisely how your attitude bout all this foolishness called...

Phil, when leased to a Carrier like yours, and all you can haul is 4 skids or so, and have capacity for 10k or so, all you are going to see is in fact the small dim loads. No doubt in my mind fedup gets many moves that are dense in nature that will go on a E that take up 8-10 foot and weigh 20k...

It's really good to read about a "thinking" O/O whom chooses to field equipment that will maximize their success there JD. Steada setting in the samo cookie cutter truck. I find that "ODD" is mostly in the eye of the viewer.

pj, the landstar menue requires wayy more effort than most are willing to endure. i'm sure they are busy trying to help "themselves",steada typing on here. Tis a good ting. To keep em from typ'in BS. Not to, but, because of.

Yes I know, 300K might be a stretch to gross. But, it's the same old number game, 40% of 60% is one thing, and 40% of a hunnert percent is quite anuther thing. I'd much rather have 40% of a hunnert percent. There is some newsy stuff on that other site. Ain't there?

Dunno bout fedup, but, we had a driver that wuz consistently well over 50k for a half dozen years, driving a heavy D, single, at 40%. But, we NEVER found anything that he "didn't wanna" do. We sold out on 1 jul 08, an his 1099 wuz 34k for the first half. Maybe there is a difference. An maybe...

Ahh yes. Jes trying to help the folks that don't know any better, git "a better life". After all ya can't spend all yer time on the beach (the beer evaporates too quick there) then I don't git my fair share. Jes trying to encourage folks to go with money making equipment and methods when they...
