So, I guess MY math is off. But seems to me that the one you wanted to run wuz 750 total miles for $900, be $1.20 per mile, or $.186 per driver per mile. Much better I guess. The point i'm trying to make to the ones struggling is, don't let your don't wannas, get in the way of the...

And, I remember back in the days of dolla fuel, a fella wanted to dh 150 miles to pick up a dolla fity load going from Louisiana to Oklahoma(yuk) 600 mi, steada dh cross town in LA to pick up a a dolla twenty load, going to the Bronx 1400 mi. Wonder if that wuz a mistake, or, there were some...

Your statement "they'd rather I" leads me to believe there is another split in the revenue/decision making process. (fingers in the pot) Read people. Read.

"They'd rather" You must have some other fingers in the pot eh? Well, sorry there Motha trkrs. Jes ain't no justice, is there?

Dave, names on here that change is only part of why I type most things. I hope y'all are not tagging me as a naysayer, for I feel as a fact there has been and is, opportunity. However, folks that visit this site i'd say are a miniority of expediters, in the grand scheme of things. It is...

Yep. Jes don't field a "toy truck".

2motha trkrs: A couple years ago I purchased a 3700 RV gasoline generator, has it's own container to exclude the elements, and made it easy to mount to the truck. A roof top RV AC unit, at a cost of $2300 combined. Mounted the generator, roof top. Hardwired the two together, and split off...

Interestingly, the answer is still the same. Choose one, provide 100% effort, pay attention to the pulse, be attentive to your spending, stay focused, enjoy the road, swing with the available freight, and, succeed. Nothing magic about it. Jes "git r done"

Just use a converter on a battery pack for thos things.

What are you going to hook the generator to?? Roof top Air? Computer?

Thats good info for em there Butterfly. Good info. There is no instant gratification in this business. And there shouldn't be in any others either. That week to week thing you mentioned, is what gets most of em, they can't get past the $hitbird employee attitude, that {someone} owes em a...

99 dolla? What a bargan!! Can you imagine how happy the shipper {would be} if there quote were {actually} about $150, to have a man and equipment on call at their demand at that price?? Think about it. KW there are too many of em. An remember, at BEST odds, 30% don't get the message.

For those of you still in la la land on this subject, the "push come to shove" statement is extremely valid. In fact, the situation does not have to get that dire, for the tru colors to fly. Granted, this is from someone that has worked and lived with em extensively (in) the mid east, but, ya...

That is too bad with that kind of effort. Just clarification for many that you cannot support that Ivory Palace and all the high dollar clowns that come with it. Not to mention the stockholders, outside things like qualcom etc. Escrow accounts are anuther thing, had your predecesors played...

Don't think you are missing anything there pj. Most that are drawn to this are not business people, or, don't play well with others(don't like punching a clock or, supervision), like to screw the pooch when they can. Those types that are used to managing on what you quoted. The ones with some...

Yes and, look at all of em planning on going to the truck show. I'd suggest if you are going for other than entertainment, don't. If you are going to take time off to sit in a parking lot with your peers, you are really foolish. You can do that each day in truck stops all around the...

In? Out? What difference does that make? If there is a history of an average 3-4 MPG when it's sunny and 70, how'd you like to get the fuel bill? That kinda behavior is simply cutting into YOUR bonus at the end of the year. Nuther reason for you fleet owners to put contractors on 60% and give...

Not pick'in, jes wondering what the general grey matter process is on that subject. Don't really matter to me cause i'm not in the market. I wuz jes wonder'in, what?

Be a lot like picking the Powerball, but, some things... Age of the fleet miles on equipment are drivers cowboys? Y/N % idle general tire condition heavy loads Maybe someone like Ryder could help more

Where is ericmoss when you need him?? He might be able to justify something like this away also.
