    Hope all owner's are not like this

    Greg: No, I certainly wouldn't expect or demand a driver drive unsafe equipment. I will never be in that position because there will never be anyone as blissfully ignorant of their occupation operating my equipment. Never. For that owner to even think of that kind of thing is, in fact...

    Are There Loads For Everyone?

    52 weeks X 2000 mi = 104,000 mi. Times $.90 per mile = 93,600. Anticipating 15 MPG, your fuel will be seventeen cent. X 104,000 =17,680. Leaves ? Understand you will be a team. Seems those numbers are available to you. Now, depends on you. Do you choose to be a 100 percenter, an 80...

    Hope all owner's are not like this

    I don't think there is anything wrong at all working with our regulators at all. However, suggesting the lambs stroll up to the wolf and wiggle their tail, is simply, not too bright. Period!! You know,, you don't stick your tongue on cold metal, or a number of other things that are not too...

    Hope all owner's are not like this

    Ya know, had some newbe, or, veteran been foolish enough to take some of this advice and visit the DOT at their scales, chances are they would have been placed out of service for a number of hours stuck in the middle of nowhere, steada being somewhat comfy around civilization, not to mention...

    Older Trucks

    As I recall there is a list of Carriers on the right side of EO Home page. I suggest you call a few and "get it from the horses mouth" insteada here, with someone guessing. You need to understand, however, a 5 plus year old truck, is not just a 5 plus year old truck, they differ vastly. I...

    Hope all owner's are not like this

    something stinks here. I certainly don't understand how a leak gets sooo bad under load... Maybe it was a little bad before the truck was loaded. Maybe it should have been repaired before you had a crisis. not sure you should have been on the road at all. I'm not sure at all. Kinda...

    Pay

    Depends on a lot of things. The smallest 1099 we sent this year was for a little over 50K, our drivers work on percentage with us paying all truck expenses.

    Barn Doors or Roll Up Door???

    Also Leo, "compared to other expediter boxes" tsh,tsh. We should be trying to inform and improve rather than compare and equal.And, We really don't need any more good used trucks on the market with matchboxes for cargo area. If they have the proper tools, then only the 80%ers have to worry...

    Turtle, most I feel don't give a rats a$$ if you get it or not, or, read it or not. I sure don't under the circumstances. I can't imagine anyone holding a colt to your head to get on the site. I'm just sorry the mule got his feelings hurt over bs like this. We/you all have things to learn (I...
