DD Why, only the bigger carriers???

Whatever. Just remember, IF they are going to be successful, they WILL be, or, they won't be, regardless if it's your truck or theirs. I'd suggest you make them prove themselves before you get into any contract purchase agreement. Do what ya gotta do.

Frequent, required inspections of the equipment by you WILL be required to insure you don't get total junk back, WHEN you get it back. Without SOME investment there really is no incentive for them to "keep on keep'in on" when things get a little tuff. No investment makes it real easy to walk...

Sounds like he is off to a good start for "next weeks" paycheck. Maybe he'll hit $16-1800, problem is, he won't remember the $1800, just the $475. Both ya need to start averaging over a 2-3 or more month period, maybe you'll feel better about things. Like your ground business, there isn't any...

Well Iceroad, some WANT paid by the mile, some WANT paid by percentage. I paid my drivers 40% of CARRIER gross, and still don't work. Only way it'd work is to pay them to stay home, prolly work for a while till they screwed themselves out of a spot at the dinner table, then they'd need a...

There will ALWAYS be a hunnerd reasons why they need to go home. In your case, "he has to pay the rent", how pathetic. There seems to be no time management used by most. DH a few hunnerd miles to pay rent, aunts birthday, get the watch cleaned, go to the bank, whatever happened to using a...

I have found it best by far, to never own more trucks than you can drive by yourself at the same time. There will be a never ending amount of heartburn with a clown or clownette running around the country in your truck. And, that is after you get them to show up, and get started. Seems after...

I don't know about dat "screwing a Caribou " stuff, but, i'm not from Alaska either. Who is Glenn Beck? And, what is his stake in all of this?

rlent, you are kinda funny. And when you can't explain it away any more, don't try to splain it to me, cause I won't be having any. Been there, seen it, done it, don't believe it. Thems some fools.

OK. Those of you that have made A contact to a SHIPPER to place freight on your truck, keep whining. Those of you that have not, please dont post further. Lets see whom has whining rites. There is a difference you know.

Some a yous guys are typing like Chuckiewagon. Maybe give him a call, he might be able to enlighten you on some facts of life these days. Bet he won't encourage a strike now tho.

Thats it Dave. The folks that wanna do it "for themselves" will. To expect that, getting rid of drivers with "driver" attitudes, and contracting with owner operators with "driver" attitudes IS a recipe for some interesting times. Seems someone at Towne Air had a wet dream. Me think they'll...

The First Cav Cowboys gave me a few rides back in the day when the black stetsons were the rage. YEEEEHAWWWW. My son is a 1st Cav result. I kept telling him looking at that patch seems like it says the horse ya never rode, the bridge ya never crossed, an the yella speaks for itself...

I like goat. Been to many a "goat grabs" in the Mideast. When in Mexico, I go outa my way to find a kid goat on a spit. Believe it's called cabrito. But, so some of us don't get lulled to far to sleep by our new found aquaintances, I understand that there is a few thousand miles...

Jes spoke with our guy on I10 getting into CA $3.989, a few minutes ago. I tink when has arrived. Anyway, don't get yourself hung out to dry on those team runs, don't take much dh these days to hurt.

I understand, and agree. But then why go thru this unknown for a couple times a year, if your happy now. Life is good enjoy it, till your fuel hits four bucks, an yer still doing a couple k a week.

If that wuz the first thing he asked, you may want to consider leaving him at home. I pay, 60% of gross, minus fuel cost, drivers split remainder. 5K load, drivers get 60% or 3K, minus fuel (say $875), drivers split $2125. Then you get to split the next load too, IF he isn't barn sour an...

And CharlesD, when you find all these git r done "adults" to lease on, please let me know.

Maybe, to make you want to come back again, or, thank you for the couple c notes you left there, or, god forbid to be neighborly??? Dunno, should be A reason.
