    Hours Of Service & driver retention dilemmas

    The present HOS requirements certainly present a challenge for team members to discipline themselves to rest when they are off duty, and support their round on the clock. That, seems to be the most difficult part, or, is for myself. Eleven is a stretch if you've had only a couple winks. I...

    Baskin Robbins?

    But, if the only thing available to you was a couple skids for a much smaller truck (smaller truck/rate) and was under your percieved revenue floor, how dependable would you be? Would the teams record still be error free with a full roster?

    Baskin Robbins?

    Good point BigJoe. However, the problem wouldn't be too many trucks. The problem would be too many what's in the trucks, if we took the whole ten. Best way to start, would be with the three mentioned and let the seven walk, then, there would be opportunity for a big happy family. Notice, I...

    WHAT IS THE MOST COMMON SKID SIZE?

    Heard? How about some facts here??? The interesting thing, is, that seems a lot of folks ask questions here, instead of asking a/the Carrier of interest. That way you can get it from the horses mouth instead of some horses a$$ guessing. Does not relate to this post, but, think about it...
