I don't think many understand what I am getting at. I must not be explaining it well.

What ever you wish to think is ok by me. It matters to me. I watch what I EARN, you know, keep. Gross is not as important as net. If the "rate" is mainly going in the tanks I am NOT keeping as much. IF the rate per mile remains static with a rising FSC what the truck is being paid to haul...

Look at the REAL rate on loads, remove tolls, FSC etc etc etc. How has that rate been holding? Going up? Down? Staying level? IF there was, say a $2 per mile average last year, and still $2 per mile earlier this year when fuel was way up, that base rate went down. Only the FSC made it up. That...

I thought I said that this had nothing to do with any individual truck, team or carrier. I don't believe that I was even implying that this had a thing to do with you or you truck. I am very sorry if you took it that way. I can assure you that it was NOT meant that way.

I did nearly fall out of the truck I was laughing so hard. There was a lot of dead head but when we worked out the pay without the DH it only paid about $1.50 per mile. WAY too low for TVAL work.

This has nothing to do with any individual truck or carrier. As the business changes so will rates with it. There very well come a day when there is no "D" TVAL trucks. It is more than possible to see how rates could drop low enough to make it impossible to operate a truck like that. I can...

OH! I REALLY hope it was!! :p

Companies can offer what ever they want. They would cut OUR rates in half if they could. If no one accepted those lower rates they would not go this low. It all comes down to this, as long as people are willing to work cheap, we all will. Rates are going down. It is being masked by the FSC...

Weiner wanted pictures.

I don't know about any one individual truck. The more people out there willing to work for next to nothing the lower rates will go.

Those washers and dryers are the ONLY machines that will see my money.

LA, MS for residents if I remember right. Maybe later this week I will have time to look it up.

In our area? I know where my vote is going, the cesspool.

Obama is just the current bum in the White House. It is his turn to be blamed for everything. These problems are more caused by our useless congress than Obama's. He is a putz to be sure. The problem is caused mainly by 4 things. The ReBumLiCans, the Dumb-O-Crats, career politicians and...

Several southern states allow fishing without a license if you use a cane pole. There is a lot of good food that could be collected by fishing. It is a good way to keep food costs down. Any bets that few on food stamps bother? Bet they don't put in gardens if they have the space. They don't...

Good luck to the ATeam. I hope they do well with their new adventure. Landstar was an interesting choice for them. It will be fun following their progress. I know that Landstar is not noted for it's reefer work but maybe they are thinking of expanding that business? Good start by...

A license is required here. There are two of them. One costs less for those who choose not to fish for trout or salmon. Those programs are only paid for by those who fish for them. Our tags are not expensive. Only $15 per year for a resident, $28 if you CHOOSE to fish for trout or salmon...

THANK YOU THANK YOU!! LOL! Dinner out tonight with friends. TURTLE SOUP, WALLEYE and some nice cold beer! Life is grand!

*SIGH* Yes Greg. IF I was gathering food only it would be different. The idea of a hunting and fishing licenses was REQUESTED by sportsmen. So were all of the special "taxes" we pay on equipment. How else are all of the needed programs and studies that need done going to be paid for? By...

WE BE HOME! The truck goes in the shop Tuesday for repairs to the hail damage. The AC will be looked at as well as the APU. Big family doings this time. My son and granddaughter are coming in in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. SPOILING TIME!!!!! :p
