    "Y" Max Membership

    Chef, you'll find that what you are entering seems to have a way of interfering with most types of normalcy. Ya just can't have a routine, of any kind. IF your going to be around long.

    Missing.......

    Must only have 1500 pieces of equipment out there to only make that much. Believe it's named 'float" or, sumpin like that. Y'all better not continue to dwell on how much "they" (the enemy) are making. Better get in there and help yourself to some. IF you can get past the other.

    Understanding the Load Opportunity

    And THAT honeymoon may be over for some more folks. I could only imagine what frustration some are going thru with others pulling the puppets strings. I feel as a rule, good folks. Ain't no excuses for stupid stuff. NONE!!

    Van or Sprinter

    Chef, this may muddy the water a bit on the "how many miles a month" thing, and, i'm many will say mixing apples to oranges. Butt, the last twelve months I was in business (with straight trucks), two of em, we ran 269,001 miles (IFTA). Me tink, that 48K a year, particularly in a fairly...

    FedEx

    But Leo, i'm not touchy feeley. I'm not here to help, i'm here to type my observations. If they can't pick the fly crap from the pepper, no one can help them. Even you. Being on the Contractor board and all.

    FedEx

    I weren't pointing it at the fed fleet owners, I wuz just pointing it. As far as i'm concerned WG is no different (except for refer). I will go on record as stating, why pay the fed five bucks a mile for a sensitive load, when I could do it better for four. We were wayyy nimble, as compared...

    FedEx

    I may be completely off base, but, I feel the days of non-operator contractors may be ending (read fleet owners). With the percieved needed high dollar equipment, extremely excessive repair rates, big fuel bills, and, seemingly everone in the chain (drivers and owners) expecting to live beyond...

    Van or Sprinter

    Well Beemer, I gotta admit there wuz nothing at all typed with your handle preceding it. Those are observations. However, IF any of the shoes fit you........ I don't run around in those circles any longer, so our opportunity to have a chance meeting is pretty slim, I will keep your...

    FedEx

    If you read it at all, I believe you recieved some "real world" suggestions. Simply put, to my way of thinking there is nowhere you can go with that camping machine and get a "warm and fuzzy" feeling. Don't surprise me at all that the sprinters are grossing more than that one. If there were a...

    Confounded by Big Cat Giveaways

    Yessir. Depends on the Cowboy, and the equipment the Cowboy has, that don't wanna be lost as an asset for service. It is a simple concept, tho many will never get it. And, there are those that you type that provide bottom feeder rates, that hit a homerun outbound and run back to within a few...
