    All companies pretty much the same

    Yepper, ya gotta get the pipeline filled before ANYTHING comes out. Depends on how long the pipeline is. But, it keeps comming out once you get it full and keep putting things in the other end. Novel concept.

    No Joe! That couldn't happen because of the excessive requirements to drive a straight truck. Why, all dat logging an other foolish tings i hafta put up with? I "don't wanna". pretty simple. i'd imagine if "ban da van" gets it's way, they'll go away.

    Why do you do this?

    Good thread Broomie! I also did it for the things listed in your second paragraph, and, I thoroughly enjoyed the solitude of the road while "gitt'n R done.

    This last post makes more sense there bud. Y'all remember, dispatchers OR customers like nothing more than to hear "YES" on the other end of the line when looking fo a truck. Keeps your phone ringing. Course da price gotta be right, and not a stewpid demand from the truck.

    It's just that roast goose mentality ovm. Don't do what ya need to (like sleep when you can) an expect (whenever ya wake up) to be first out (right now). Don't work that way. I've watched sooo many lost opportunitys like this over the years. Seems to never improve.

    100% of FSC ?

    Y'all just get way too wrapped about fsc. Bottom line, if it don't pay the dollars needed for all things--miles, difficulty, finger printing, etc., leave it alone. Who cares what someone else is making, if it is enough for you. It's just a mentality problem.

    How much money do you make?

    My answer always wuz "if you take care of the customer and their freight really, really well, the money will come and lots of it". Problem is, i never minded the question, but, the vast majority, didn't like the answer. Guess it goes boff ways. Guess??
