Mark: 90% Has not gotten it for a long, long time. It's really pretty simple to figure. You can either fish, or, cut bait.

Hawk, I feel knight is smarter than the average bear.

The fella that took that load probably wanted to go home to Garrison, or someone wanting to go Walleye fish'in. Who knows. It's about the bucks, but, not ALL about the bucks. And, those of you that are around for purely economic reasons'll have some rude awakenings ahead. Y'all have more...

Nightcreature, that don't compute with em. Just don't work that way, they gotta be doing sumpin every minute (when they) are "ready".

Yep, If you don't park at the end of the block, or, next to a no parking zone, it'll happen every time. Kinda like being "stuck in a Truck" I guess.

Whata you got, a flag on your truck???

I think if you'd walk around the beast once you'd find that with around 5500 pieces of rolling stock, as well as airplanes, plus all the ancillary help (sales, recruiting, etc.) You will find that there are not only plenty of teeth, but, plenty of claws to go with. A census of 5500 is four...

If that is your stance, then i'd imagine you are setting yourself up for a little bubble bust'in in the future. But actually, it's a moot issue anyway. If you have been running seventy seven cent freight for very long, you have already paid for that tow many times over.

OVM, you are wasting the skin on your fingers. They'll never get it.

It seem from reading this thread that the lines are clearly divided at the point where it depends on exactly how large a roast goose an individual expects to fly in their open face. My scenario is, if I had a contractor that had done the average 120K a year prior to having this type of...

I certainly wouldn't hold my breath for that $2800 today. I'm glad I have a dock to put something like that on, till it gets sorted out. Then you have to figgure what your load is worth, and go from there.

Nah Hawk, let me remind you. The question IS "who's tab is it".

Yep Bigguy. "Willing" tis a wunnerful word, ain't it?? I personnaly love the unwilling, you can't imagine the business available from the unwilling. Wunnerful ting you expediters got going. If I wanna, if it goes to the right place, if I feel ok, if it makes me the very large bucks, if it's...

OVM, I'm gonna quit typing on here, and stay outa your way. YOU, are doing good. Ya gotta be careful tho, some a these o'le heifers'll type bad tings to ya. Specially bout dis Canada stuff.

RE: anyone know how to find your own freight for a I used to drive a D unit contracted to a large Carrier eons ago, but, when I would sit for protracted periods, i'd go around the industrial areas and pick used skids outa the scrap, and recycle them for three bucks a pop. Give me something to...

Ahhh. Figures.

Terry, we have an on-time-every-time policy also, and, there is a budget in place for towing, this budget has been deferred to our contractors. However, when they are not able to negotiate a tow the Company pays and collects later. With the additional revenue they see, this hasn't been a...

RE: EXchange Rates (was) Heads Up On Husky Fuel St OVM, I have to opoligize for a lot of my fellow Americans, and, what they "expect" BECAUSE they are Americans. And most that expect, did not do their part to earn the respect. They only can mouth about it. Unfortuneately. You are only seeing...

Well, I certainly don't have the answers for all the players we have in this business. But, I encourage everyone, to, (even if you have to force yourself) to ask the question, even, IF, you don't think you are going to like the answer.

So, let me get this right. You don't want big brother, (except) when..... It's starting to come to me. Situations like this are not "one size fits all" ya know. If an example, we were paying our contractors the normal 60% of gross steada 75% of gross we could easily and cheerfuly do...
