I read his post real well. Also read his profile. Did You? Like so many, he didn't read the warning signs in the immediate past. Didn't give us much to suggest on. Like, an O/O, driver, fleet owner? You know. Wadda ya think?

Jim has some good suggestions there Tony Baloney. Too bad you didn't pay attention to the warning signs.

LETZROCK kinda summed it up with the ambition part, but, left out an important part of the answer. DRIVE. Many whom have had that supervisor kicking them in the a$$ to get to the 60% level, no longer have that encouragement, so, their percentage slips a bit it seems. I don't feel there is...

Frankly, I feel it has little to do with what someone reads on this site. It has all to do with not being able (willing) to stand up to the plate and hit the ball, time and time again. Not just when we feel like it, or, when we want to. Poor time management has a lot to do with the problem...

Babs: It will continue to amaze you for many, many years if you pay attention to it. The situation you describe is not only pathetic, but also, a very, very important doing business distractor. How would you like to be a Company with a truck under load and a broke driver(s) for no apparent...

RE: 98 hours sitting in san antonio with a 1st ou Ain't bad setting here in South Texas. Bout 80. Be happy you are not in Minneapolis or Fargo. The wait would really get into extra innings up north.

Bigjoe: The fact that "you can't find one, because nobodys building them" should tell you the whole story. There are very few people like yourself (just killing time before the rocking chair) that would want a pimped out truck like you describe. I would think a viable working truck to...

Forgot one, yes, this is crazy!

Can't imagine you are going to be less than 17K empty. Why less than 26K GVW? You are approx. 35ft with your spechs. Why stop at that?

That question begs another question. Is it a load to wait to load, or is the question, how long would we get in the pile for the one that might come?

We have a Rigmaster that wants to "run away"(not idle back) after it is started. The governor spring is fine. Has anyone else had a problem like this, and if so, what was the solution? Are there any good Perkins shops that have mechanics, rather than technicians, that you can recommend?

As stated on here many times, what works for one person, don't for another. Let your drivers (assuming they are good ones) find their place. It should be refreshing to you that they want to advance your/their positions. Let em test their wings, unless, you feel you have a security blanket, or...

I understand how it happens. So often we are sold a bill of goods that we are part of something that is the best thing since sliced bread. And we buy into it. However it seems, the more we buy into it, or, the more familiar we get, the further we slip into La La land.

I don't know what is so hard for you nay sayers that are leased to big Companys to understand about this but.....Say a small Company like mine (less than 20 trucks), how many trucks would you think we would have in a same area at the same time?? Now, are you getting the picture of whom might be...

You folks gotta understand that, the driver that dropped third, for example, and was dispatched first, was probably behind you other two in revenue for the past couple weeks. If you've done well recently you will certainly be dispatched later than someone whom is short of revenue recently...

Unfortuneately Rich, you and I get pizzed about that trust thing, But, I couldn't believe (until I experienced it) what some of these clowns try to pull to get over. Ya can't trust many of them, having a good reputation just isn't in any longer, it seems. Seems all Carriers learn sooner or...

Can't imagine my drivers calling about weather. I'm not there. How would I know, except trying to help them figgure out where it ends, or, where they might drive out of it. Otherwise i'd have to give them that dunno answer.

Hey Hawk: The truck is on it's way to Memphis from NC. I'm wintering over in Corpus. No speed'in here anymore. Good to hear south of that mess is OK tho. Got your juice back yet Dreamer?

No Dreamer, it's sunny and 75 here in Corpus Christi. All power is fine. Have a cold fron arriving tonite I guess. Going down to 50 or so. I'll have to get my flannel shirt out. Hope your power comes back on soon.

Sorry if you misread my post. Believe I typed "thats exactly what I'D do".
