Many folks don't realize I guess, that in the ruff and tumble world of business, the question really isn't what am I gonna do IF I get hosed? The question is what am I gonna do WHEN I get hosed? There are many ways to minimize the effects of a setback or surprise. Be aware of the signs that...

Well smacker, if you have those agreements in place, and, YOU tink yer gitt'in hosed.... then you must be!

Congrats Bruno, ya got em tinkin! 5700 trucks and no change prolly means the loosers or floaters have gone away and no longer float. We still have a fella that does the math an figgures there is a couple hunnert loads going begging , so.... he can cherry pick. Some are figgur'in out, that in...

I was in a bit different situation, but, we ALWAYS thanked the shipper. Jes make sure you thank someone who calls for trucks, steada some schmoe on the dock.

Actually the security was in place at the old locations. They have pizzed so many drivers and 0/0 off that they can't leave a door opened. For self preservation. Lets face it, concerning the parking issue, they jes don't like trucks, or truck drivers in a close proximity of the palace...

A hunnert ten percent?? Now, what would we know about giving a hunert ten percent?? Hey Hawk, jew ever have a moderator after ya?? Seems the Caffee has got a fix on my number. May hafta get banned some day I guess. Sooo.. if I go away sometime sooner or later, i'll jes say to all of...

Real person eh Suds?? Must be a nuther case of a too thin skinned moderator, or, a too thin skinned sombody? Eh?? We sure do get a lot of exercise round here. Jumping to conclusions and rushing to a verdict, ya know.

Shure do miss the avatar(s) tho. No matter whomever they were.

Travis AFB, CA. Waiting for a AMC flight to Hawaii. Gonna "lay" over there for a month or so. Jeez I hate waiting!!

buckeye, happy to see yer amongst the thinkin about the evolution of this biz. now, i'v been told as of the other day for the hunert first time by a fella by name of mikey, that I know nuth'in bout this business. Butt, if I were going to get in this business again, I would certainly...

I've seen an increase of prolly 500% in available load emails in the last ten days. Maybee she's waking up for you folks out there.

Folks, there are many requirements for your carriers to maintain safety records on drivers. Safety refreshers etc., etc. I'm sure your carrier don't require those things just because you think it's a "stewpid" requirement. Regardless, if'n you tink it's THAT stewpid, then don't...

KEEERFUL THERE BLUZ, ya keep typ'in to em like that, they'll be after ya. Tis been for a few years now that many will need to place household and toy expenses into the mix for the cost of running a truck. An it still don't work too well. Ya gotta be a Madoff for that kinda math to work. Even...

Tis good to be proactive bout this, however, you may be going bout this a bit bass akward. I'll agree many of the doubles you see gong down the road may very well be moving at $30 - $50 per mile. But they have sales, pickup, docking, yada, yada, expenses to accomplish that at that revenue...

transporter, are you actually shipping something, or merely checking the water acquiring online quotes?If you are trying to keep em honest by that method you'll certainly not get a very good gage of what is going on. You are only getting a quote for a "once in a blue moon" shipper who's price...

Any bidding process is simply costs (including a swag for changing costs), plus whatever the human elements feel they need. Jes wonder'in if you've decided whom is gonna run that dedicated mission when the driver don't show up?? Because they won't show up, sooner than later.

Ahhh mikey, I been told a hunnert times on this site that I know nothing bout tis business. And with yer hunert first suggestion, I jes decided, I don't. Now do ya feel better??? But, if she can't handle $403 fer a couple/few weeks, then $1209 fer a couple/ few weeks it's not a good...

Tink about it Timothy- - If YOU were a Carrier, why would you need to be leased to one??? That is where a lota folks go south in their tink'in. You don't jes merely "have yer own Authority", YOU then are THE Carrier. Jes can't get rid of the $hitbird employee mentality.

She feels she "needs" 42K or more a year. What does yer step daddy need on top of that?? Many work a day folks that have always been on the dole, with taxes taken out, don't understand the benefits of self employment. If she's in any way anal bout a steady, uninterupted $807 a week in...

Twisted, seems yer rates fer a cv ARE a bit high. My last rates for straights with like coverage wuz $415. Agency may be taking a bit more than their fair share. If any of you would like a contact for a good agent. PM me. The simple thing to do, regarding the signage issue, is, make...
