    Chris Presley M. G. F.

    We seen the news post on the opening page and felt a need to also put it here in case some do like we and go to the forums without looking. The news of Chris' passing puts great sadness in our hearts. We have held a, lets say special relationship with all at Middle Georgia Freightliner for the...

    Another Life After FedExCC

    you can make those 2500.00 $ monthly pymts. without the fed or panther or any of the big carriers, i did. its not the carrier, its you who decides how much you have to have by how much debt you create for yourself. as far as brand name goes, it can hurt and help. i just...

    Pet Owners/Laredo

    im with ovm, you did a good thing. i think the crappy attitudes of some could be corrected by the presence of a furry friend. i would think you would get tired of being so negative all the time.

    FSC-Why don't companies pay 100% of it to us?

    another thing to think about when on a flat rate fsc is the formula used. EIA use the formula of natl. avg. fuel - 1.25 [the cost govt.says it should cost ] = _____ divided by mpg. = weekly fsc. amt. paid to truck. the trick and money maker for companies is what they use for trk mpg. most figure...

    D O T numbers

    thanks for all of the replies. i was in the notion of why not cause they are contracted to the co. they haul freight for only the co. and the logos are already cut that way. so, with all that i think i will have my vans run the logos and be done with it. after all i want the customer to know who...

    D O T numbers

    just a general question for you vanners. are dot/mc # required to appear in the carrier logo or do most carriers put them on just because they are already there. what i mean is it ok to just put carrier name and city/state. how do most of you have it done. thanks for the help.
