You're allowed....though there were extenuating circumstances.

Yes, I know I'm in enemy territory! I have a cohort though in Brian...

After too long with Fedex, happy to move my second straight truck over to Load 1....have had nearly a year to compare the two, and...there is no comparison. SO - now to find a good team and it will be a nice start to the summer.

Size evidently does matter....and I had one team say they couldn't consider a truck without satellite television...that conversation did not last too long. But I'm going to look into the stretch idea, could work out well, I think.

That '07 is a US Express truck that was stretched out....I looked into it, backed off because I was told the mpg on a C-15 would not be very good. With the stretches, seems you're limited to the smaller (70-72") sleepers...which it seems would prevent a lot of teams from being interested. (Let...

I'm looking at a truck that has a C-15 in it...anyone have any knowledge of what mpg that might be able to get? GVW of 54,000....3.42 rears, I believe. Think that might be a bit more than necessary? The cummins 315 I have gets 10.0 - 10.5, I believe, though I don't pay for the fuel. Thanks for...

As someone in my first year of doing this (owning only, not driving), the two best pieces of advice I can give would be to pay yourself as little as you can afford to, building up company reserves; and try to get the most responsible people you can find to work with and drive your truck(s) or...

I know the standard owner/driver pay is 60/40 one way or the other in most cases that I've seen. Believe I did see one that was 58/42, but in thinking of this, was wondering if anyone has considered something different? I have two trucks, one I pay 60%, the other 40%, with fuel charges and fsc...

Two straight trucks, two companies; one (solo) a bit slow, but had three runs this week which is fairly typical. One, part of the month solo, part of the month team - a bit slower than what I would have thought but switching from a solo to a new team in the middle of the month was seamless, so...

Guess I'm fortunate in getting great people to work with driving trucks I own. I gave both debit cards from my company account as we trust each other, just for convenience sake, and fuel is paid for with carrier fuel cards. Just lost one team for personal family reasons and hoping the new team...

Ummm...same carrier as you, one 600 mile run all last week then sitting in Taylor before getting something else tonight. I'd consider that slow....

Slow is a good word for it, I guess. One truck with one 600 mile load (TN to MI); one in a bit different situation, but running little loads in/out of Peoria area for most of last week. And this involves two companies, so not just one company with no freight. Hopefully this week will be better...

Noodle & Company....my favorite...Tuscan Linguini with the parmesan crusted chicken (no broccoli!).

As someone with a team in a straight with FDCC, but on the percentage plan, I have no complaints with them. I was told the flat rate would be better for a solo, percentage better for a team...I don't know, a $ is still just a $. My truck has sat very little with them, even out west & in the...

Thanks all. I don't have a real problem with the income I might miss, want to make sure the drivers are covered, plus just the fact that I think that it's only fair that we not lose money due to someone else's negligence. So I plan on doing whatever to recoup not only what we spend but also...

Just when things were going good, finally got the truck running good and making some money the past few weeks, someone bashes into the truck while it's sitting at the TA in Elkton, MD. While it will get fixed and the insurance will pay (their insurance), has anyone had this situation and did...

Just started this in late summer and considered getting an escrow from the drivers, but decided against it. Hopefully it won't come back to bite me like it has you this time, but guess I have the same faith that you have in people...we'll see. Of course I've paid an escrow with the companies...

Man, Reese's cups are the best. The only time I ever got food was when I picked up a trailer load of sardines in E. Lubec, Maine....gave a case to an uncle that loved eating those things..not me.

If your owner happens to be with Expediter Services, I believe they do have some health insurance option available - think it's through them rather than with FDCC.

And another truck in Hammond, LA...so, WA/OR or this one, neither a hotbed from what I see. BUT, always optimistic (not always, but trying, anyway).
