Maybe, but how many would risk their skin to save few bucks?

I've heard about a carrier that was forcing their drivers to take a second load for $25-$50... I don't know if it's true or not.

Interesting... never heard of them, yet they have such an impressive fleet...

He was in Dallas, had to dh 160 mi west of Dallas...

From the middle of nowhere. I meant middle of Texas...

One of my trucks just got a $.71/mi run. An almost 1500 miles run. From a serious carrier.

For one thing you can get a good price on their Occupational, cheaper than most carriers are charging for ...

The biggest concern isn't the deductions, but the driven miles. The trucks are barely moving, and when they do, they're doing it for peanuts. When I was with Nations, the deductions were about 600/mo, but it didn't bother me since they were keeping me busy, they pay was decent, as well as the...

No need for notice, I don't drive for them anymore, but I still have trucks leased with them. For now.

I hope this is a joke... who would risk his business to hire unlicensed drivers?

That's what the carrier asked me to have, the rest is covered by them.

Beside that buyback thing, there is already an escrow of $1300 per unit ($65/wk)...

Try Hours covers the cargo insurance, but there's a 2000 deductible that has to be paid by the driver in case of an accident. Here comes the buyback thing, that'll cover the deductible if something happens... at least that's what they told me... anyway, it's something that I strongly disagree.

From my POV, it's new form of making some extra bucks... it covers the cargo's deductible ($2000 deductible) in case of an accident...

Phil, I'm pretty sure no one explained that to me, as well as all other charges beside the QC, Non Trucking and Occupational.

So, let's see... QC - $ 30/week Occupational $110/mo Non trucking $ 36/mo + 1 mo in advance Trippak $ 5/week Deductible buyback $ 26/mo + 1 mo in advance So, no matter if the truck is moving or not, there's a monthly charge...

Seeing is believing, right? Take a trip to Europe and you'll be amazed, trust me... I met in Germany many Americans that moved there after they were discharged (honorable discharge, of course) from the Army...

You're kinda off topic with these comments, but since you mentioned that, what makes you believe that in other countries you wouldn't be able to do the same thing as you do here? I'm not denying that there aren't countries where people are starving to death or suffering from xyz diseases, but...
