50% of your miles in New Jersey? Oucheee!!! If someone wanted me to run 50K+ in NJ, believe i'd give them a rebate not to have to. Me tink looking for a good tree and/or motel expenses is more attractive every day, with all the baggage the leaders are attaching to us these days.

Maybe you could consider contracting with an expediter such as myself to move your things. I'd be interested in exploring the possibilities.

Yes, here we are in America. Our new people don't/won't speak english, squat on the kamode to deficate, and piss the rest of us off. Signs won't do any good (they claim they can't read em), a real good latrine blanket party lesson is in order, even of, they think they have to post...

Farmalls Forever!!!!!!!!!

Use the "KISS" method for truck lighting. Austere but adequate. Will help eliminate heartburn.

What is the fascination with a "bigger" company?? I'm just kinda wondering what the general mentality about this subject is out there? What? Larger security blanket? How big a blanke do you need? More loads? You will/can only haul one at a time. Here is a couple potential...

What Caffee said. And I might add, considering this as a "career" as you research it, stead of a job or work, is a LARGE step in the right direction.

That is what I typed. I think?

Well, yes I guess. Might hand someone a business card(at the dock you are backed up to) takes ummm 10 seconds, or so. I aplaud the effort. As someone wise once said "minimal pain is surely apt to get you minimum gain". There in lies the problem from the employee attitude, like Greg...

Yep,one more call to make. And, that is not a bad thing. Probably won't help the dependent contractors much, so why would you want to be one?

Takes all kinds you know. I don't even STAY at a truck stop with my truck, let alone the camping machine. Must be something about those truck stops that I have not figgured out yet. Boy, would I love to have one of em wake me up so's he could get out, he'd probably think a boxing...

Well, I stand corrected I guess. All business places are potential, however. Greg, problem solved when you align yourself with 5700 other trucks, can't hardly miss having someone in the area. Amazing as it may seem, you really don't have to stand alone to be Independent. Teamwork, ethics...

You wouldn't be on a pipeline full/empty situation if you were paid each trip upon delivery. But, beings you are on a two week pay situation, it is in fact a pipeline of sorts. So...... If you have a two week to pay agreement, and have been not generating revenue for two weeks you should...

Also, you may want to expand your horizons a bit and take a look at organizations that don't use the terms DR unit, CR unit, surface, White Glove. Might be wise!!

Easy?? Yes. No. Maybe. Depends on from what altitude you are looking at it from. I, in the past suggested very strongly to my associates, O/O, drivers, that each and every business they drove by was a potential customer and all they had to do was ask. Over a long period working...

It seems that policy IS flawed, and kinda one sided. However, ya gotta have the pipeline full to get something out of the spigot. IF, ya can't wait to get the line full again, then don't do the time, OFF. Pretty simple.

Brit, seems to me by your threads hometime is one of your bigger questions?? Your one source stated that he runs hard for two weeks. If for two weeks prescribed running, there is some bad luck with positioning, etc., and you sat most of the time, and, then things broke loose with the freight...

I'm going to suggest, when I was a contractor, like most of you JIT gave us a large head, making us think we really were special. In reality, was/are simply rolling warehouses. Get involved with an organization the does in fact do some needed moves for customers and your rates will get...

Leo, that seminar stuff is way too high falut'in. This was more like a beer drink and BS session. But, informative. Whatever works ya know. I'm getting so i prefer the laid back BS, rather than a seminar, kinda like the Iowa Caucusus. Jes kinda mosey in, collect the info you need, and do...

It is way too bad 9/11 happened, but I hafta kinda think it's way too bad the Trade building is so short. Think, in a lotta cases we would be better off.
