while there have been many good comments on what makes the best carrier the comment of you dont know till you sign on is the truest. you can due all the research you want but still not be happy after you sign on. we would all like to hope that after all our due diligence we will make the rite...
wish we could be there. would like to put the truck out front again. it was alot of fun. unfortunately we are doing a driveway, sidewalk, porch and having the house sided so we have a messed up schedule that wont allow us to make it but we will be there for sure next year, . looking forward to...
tina and i will be thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers also. we truly hope for the best for you and jack. if jack is a vet. please see about getting help with his chair from them or there are some other organizations that offer help also.
that is true about speedco, but the quality of the sample is dependent on how good they clean the machine. i got a suspect sample from speedco that was not suspect it was contaminated from the previous sample. just be careful.
jj, pretty presumptuous of you to assume that all people you talk to in truckstops with rotted teeth are drug users. my mother had rotted teeth like that when she was 40 and it was calcium deficiency from child birth. there are many reasons for bad teeth and yes drug use can be one. deciding...
an in addition to all the other b/s around this subject. we love how not all the personnel in our industry are included. i would bet that 50% of the carriers dont make their employees in the office test nor do some of the employees attached to the various departments of the dot. [ your safety...
not quite sure of the cost as we are members through our carrier but be assured there is nothing funny with them. they are a nationally recognized association involved in helping small trucking companies. they are rite there beside several other organizations fighting for our rights.
you as a truck owner and business owner are considered a small trucking company therefor that qualifies you to join N.A.S.T.C. [ nat'l association of small trucking companies ] which is tied to a decent fuel discount through fleetone, anyone can get a fleetone card and there are no fees for use...
the only other piece of advice i can give on retreads is that we practice [ per tire dealers advice ] putting them on in spring or fall when the temps are moderate so they acclimate to the hot or cold temps over a few months.
plain and simple, we just need a carrier to abide by the contract they provided and the one we read, understood and took upon ourselves to sign. then for the carrier to do their best at finding freight.
i think this is what most contractors want. there are however, some contractors who think...
there are lots of secondary fuel stops in the system but t/a and petro are the biggest. you can use the card at loves but loves charges 2 bucks. as far as i know you can use it at other fuel stops and get cash price. the only place i know of you cant use it is the wonderful new pilot j. they...
i have never done plates through the carrier. to expensive. the true scam is the plates. personally, i dont know how a carrier can justify charging 1200 a year for plates for a strait truck out of ohio. i am in IL. and plates are between 5 and 650 a year depending on mileage. so that means...
i have researched regrooving tires and just did not like the idea for the reason of getting deeper into the bed of the tire. that was why i went with recaps. i have used them for 10 years. putting on my 3rd set today. i have never had one let go of the entire tread since using this brand. i have...
hey vince,
take a look at nastc. [ nat'l association of small trucking companies ] they have a program in conjunction with fleet one. avg. discounts we have been seeing are .14 to .23 per gal. and no fee for using the card plus other discounts tied to the program...
