    Depends. Depends on the high dollar of the equipment. Depends on the willingness of the driver/s to git r done. Depends on if or not the two unrelated drivers have a goal, or they are in it for a job. A lot depends. An Leo, we still don't care bout the owner.

    Well here we go with the first timer questions!!!

    Jes because you don't have a QC, you don't have to run outside regulations. Jes means you can get full benefit of your eleven or fourteen. Whichever comes first. And full benefit of your time means a lot in this business. Don't believe I typed anything bout "creative" or any such thing...

    Well here we go with the first timer questions!!!

    Don't tink he asked what is better for the owner. That concern usually is waaaay down on the list of concerns for folks. And yes, stay away from qualcom equipped trucks. It's a monthly/weekly expense that'll really cost you more than the fees.

    Well here we go with the first timer questions!!!

    My experience with this subject is much different (as usual) than anyone elses. We ran both costs from the midwest routinely as single drivers. HOS is not as large an anchor as many make it. You can drive 11 hours a day. Depending on the States you can run 700 or better each day. Hone your...

    Anyone ever lose a load because they had a pet in the truck with them?

    On the question of where to leave the truck, seems you doged the bullet with your Bro. Seems to me the school book answer to a challenge like that would be "depends". Depends, on how far ya wanna walk home. Depends, on how much you wana pay me to retrieve it.

    co driver info

    There are many variables in the question "what am I worth"? I have had team members getting $.20 per mile as their share, and were not worth that as steering wheel holders, with their freshly minted CDL, and whole month driving experience. At the same time, i've had folks with plenty of...

    Anyone ever lose a load because they had a pet in the truck with them?

    Charles, many upon many, wouldn't even consider putting forth that effort to advance their position. The "don't wanna" is in effect and alive out there. Jes like the original poster. It's all bout choices. Chose da mutt. Or, chose da load. My problem wiff it is, it appears he...

    Understanding the Financial Crisis

    Yepper Turtle, it's that trying to have a "life" as some put it, that does the magic to many folks. Teaming is not the answer, totally. And, the "good" spots are not good everyday. And, the "bad" spots are not bad everyday. The notion that "you must make money on everything you touch"...
