    Gonna try it in a van.

    Seems to me there isn't any commitment in this statement. Like so many others considering this business. Gonna "TRY IT", instead of "gonna "DO IT". There is a difference. From a fairly experienced Expediter and Carrier, I don't even open the gate for them when I hear that three letter word.

    Panther Straight Solo Drivers - need input

    I believe if I were that concerned about my soup getting too thin, i'd rethink which ways that I could un-set. You're just a young buck, you can do it.

    Graduating Soon Need Advice

    Ya gotta understand Tall, that most of the "advisors" on this site pretty much have "one dimensional" views that they can draw from for giving advice. Meaning, most have been either a owner operator contracted to someone, or, graduated to being a owner of some trucks contracted to someone...

    straight up talk regarding expiditing

    If you are diabetic, I suggest you forward your physical evaluation results to the Carriers you are considering. Because diabetes is controlled does not mean you will be qualified with the Carriers Doc reading the results. At a minimum you may be required to test and send results frequently to...

    The perfect driver for any fleet owner....

    Actually, there are a lot like that looking for jobs. The vast majority however, don't lay their cards on the table like that. They try to surprise you after the fact, or, come clean when they are 1000 miles down the road with your truck. He's actually doing the readers a favor.

    Looking For Volunteers

    My, my, this seems to be quite a fire drill. All you really have to do is play fair, like your momma learned you. But, I know, some can't help their actions, and, others I wonder IF they had a momma. Regardless, you could't carry the document produced to completely protect us from ourselves...

    Average Miles per Week - Newbie Question

    Well Buck, you could probably do the math on this yourself, but, here goes. 2000 miles per week minus 20% non-paid DH, personal transportation, traveling to sit at a truck stop etc. (depending what your personal habits are) leaves 1800 paid miles X whatever you are paid loaded, minus about 10%...

    Yahooo, 17 Jan and it's starting already this year. Conway screwing you on this thread, Pilot screwing you on another thread. Man, if everyone is getting screwd as much as I read about here, there should be nothing but perpetual smiles on most everybodys faces. Seriously, if you can't run a...

    a wild and crazy idea

    actually, there is well over 150K miles on our split, I have not measured remaining tread, however, looks to be half used up. Regardless, even if they were used up right now i'd cheerfully replace them knowing the extra revenue they have produced.

    Recruiting good drivers

    Mr. G The ONLY effective way I have found to recruit drivers is, simply not to recruit. If you have a crew of happy campers, word of mouth will do wonders for your driver count. After they knock on your door, you then can start the tedious process of picking the fly crap from the pepper...

    Somehow its all comming back to me.

    I dunno if it is fluff or what. From what I look at each day on the road there is nothing for sure for success. However, when I see the average cargo van type guy thinking about the buisiness generally in the back of their mind is "screwing the pooch" meaning they want to do it easy ie. no...

    freightliner parts

    Seem we have one or two of each. Freightliner service (for ALL my experiences so far) sucks. No parts, give a ##### attitude, rah, rah, humma, humma. Peterbuilt service is generally very good. However, we use the class 7 330 model, therein lies the problem for Pete, not really a lot of 330's...
