Well Broom, JB hizzelf once said "if I make $50 per truck per year i'm happy". Now, that fity bucks comes AFTER the high dollar managers, dispatchers, sales, purchases, fuel, drivers, repairs, new facilities, ALL THINGS are paid. Then ya got 50 X 10,000, what a half mil, an all the...

I don't think anyone is advocating running for less than is desired consistently. Periodicly, making a move for less than desired, IS good business. Depending, on the where's, what's, of your particular instance. Even the naysayers of "cheap" freight, have taken "cheap" freight (to get home...

Yes! Let us read the grand plan. Please.

I'd like to see ya orchistrate cooperation between drivers, an specially that part about them paying each other for the help. That'd be a hoot. hehe

Oh Cheri, have I got a running start for you. Call me! IF you really wanna do it.

Yep, jp, overhead outa the truck gets many of em. But, they can't survive doing anything else either. Critter, that was a fine boy. Did an exceptional job coolie tending. Was apparent he had a bit of experience, and some good coaching. Congrats on your award. But, the true test of...

Jeff and fast, don't bother bantering with em. They don't get it. And if they did get it, they wouldn't have the gumption or kahoonas, to start it or finish it. Enjoy what you are doing, and stay away from contractors and drivers.

Life's a beach (sp). I'ts the golden rule ya know. I might pay $25 for an ocean front spot, but they can take the gravel and stick it. Anyway, have fun during your March madness.

Well, I appreciate all the banter for this saga. It was not directed at any individual, group or event. If you have had similar life experiences, it's shurly a coincidence. All i'm typing to both sides of the coin. Jes get along an be the best you can be, at what you do, and DON'T...

Maybe. But to continue the no no load saga. To Drivers: We all wanna start out with the top dollah. But, with any new association we anticipate it aint gonna happen. Takes time. More than 3-4 weeks to show you can take care of equipment, play well with others, be profitable, etc. When...

Yessir, I understand. However, our memorys get short sometimes. As a way to reinforce to the folks that you have to know where you been, to maybe understand where you wanna go, i did a little checking into how we got to that no no load. Lafayette, IN to Dallas, tx 968 mi @$1700 or $.26...

Jes how ya wanna start it there bud?

Wuz yer choice. Aino problem with me. Just hoping some may think about locations and other considerations before they commit to ya or na. If it wasn't worth a hunnerd a day for ya to get outa Lousiana, then it was not. Das right, get over it. And, if you want your laundry up, jes let me...

Yepper, i'd rather be lucky than good any old day. But remember , most of the time, "luck" is when preparation meets opportunity.

If Paul, it's directed to me by chance, believe me no thing personal. I simply typed how different folk look at tings. Half full or half empty? dat be da question. An if'n it's half empty, how can they get it half full? Someday. I don't know. But I can suggest I been try'in to help folks...

Yes it's a funny ting, many times when i'm going down a big road, little road, or a berg, I look like the pace car for the Indy 500. A big white one. I don't do it to be mean, I jes take my time and be deliberate. Ya gotta find yer driveway ya know.

Peer pressure is a :censoredsign: there redy. But you jes hafta get over it. Most dem push'in ain't buy'in fuel. Got it?

Eric, don't be stewpid an ask for a freebee EVERYTIME, it'll get to be like a broken record. And it'll be shut off. HOME, is no good and never will be as long as you don't answer the cell phone, and are outa the truck. Communication includes answering the phone! Jes remember I typed...

But Diva, How's your math? And is NYC in your comfort zone? Do you figgure into the grand scheme of things what you rate was going to a location? Then jes maybe you'll be OK. Ya never know tho, ya may have a brain fart someday, an blame everyone but you. Thennn.. the world will be cold...

And, I'm certain you've learned over time, that if you dont wanna and don't, that the soup on the table gets pretty thin pretty soon. Trying to get em to look at where they may be going south. It all ain't fun.
