I'm not advocating either way, in fact it seems to me that if you take a shorty, you can end up disqualifying yourself from the better one that comes up, either because you're now under load, or won't have enough hours to do the longer one on time, or because dispatch now thinks they've served...

My condolences on your loss mrgoodtude. Glad you got to know more of him while you had the chance! You've sure got some beautiful grandkids! I just wanted to say this..... Isn't it whacked that many of these vets and other old-timers are living to such a nice and ripe old age after living a...

That might not be a good idea to co with someone you already know.. I probably don't need to elaborate on the potential outcome.. but if you do, you'll have to make it part of the agreement that neither party gets to badmouth the other or vent on EO! ;) As for the other thing, I've heard it...

It's not your problem, other than the fact that if Joelube isn't reporting his business income appropriately, you are in fact helping to fund his share of the burden. So the gumment gets to know exactly what your carrier paid you, or if you had 10 carriers, what those 10 carriers paid you. Now...

Sittin waitin for welfare day when they can take a cab to the beerstore and whoop it up on the front porch with all their buds. <pjjjjj> slaps herself for having a bad attitude :eek:

Over time here, I am really finding Americans contradictory and perhaps unreasonable. Most seem to want the bad guys caught, and want to pay less taxes, and yet, not. But there ARE lots of vendors cheating on a very large scale, and it is to your benefit that they be made to pay, just like you...

This is exactly why you can never know that you are comparing apples to apples, or that you're on the same wavelength, or speaking the same language, when talking financial information. To me, 'made' means 'net', 'takehome', 'after-expenses'; Bruno has offered up 'made' as being 'gross', a...

How can someone answer that when only getting half of the info? (the gross half).

Happy Birthday! Remember you are only as old as you feel, so hopefully you're feeling great! You'll feel even more special if you can get some free dessert instead of desert! :p

I am just trying to ease your minds because even if there are 5000 vendors in a year, it really isn't going to be that horrible if you get a program and update it daily or weekly. Everything you need to know should be on your receipt. Aside from being able to meet any new obligations easily...

That's pretty unbelievable. I'm not sure if it's even legal for an employer to track an employee's whereabouts during company time with an employer-issued phone which has a gps in it. As far as I know, the employer must disclose this, and that's when the property even belongs to them, and...

IMHO this is not going to be as onerous as people are thinking right now. You might have to report on a 1099 that you paid Truckrepairplace Inc for a truck repair over $600, but you only issue one 1099 for the entire year to that truck repair company. So you could have 10 repairs done at varying...

That's odd considering you have to pay for the privilege of renting satellite equipment for the truck which you would hope would enable them to see exactly where you are. Seems they are still relying on the one-to-one communication method of confirming your whereabouts, and based on other...

Creative new revenue streams to make up for the low rates? IMHO if they'd like you to wear their logo, they should at least pay for it, nevermind the shipping!

At however many hundred bucks an hour your lawyer charges, I'd hate to have to pay it while he learns my business. IMHO it would be more satisfying to do research oneself, create a contract, and then take it to the lawyer for approval and tweaking. You can find bits and pieces here and there on...

Perhaps I am missing something, but that's not necessarily true... nothing was said about a limitation on DH miles.. in effect someone could offer a minimum of $10,000 gross per month, but leave out the part where you may be required to drive thousands of miles to the pickups over the course of...

And say you took it (now at $0.55, unlikely, but just pretend for a moment), and you now need to tell Co#1 and Co#2 where you're headed, or call them when you're empty and tell them where you are... and depending on the situation, it won't always be difficult for them to know what you did, and...

Forgive my ignorance... I am so confused... Are any of you expediters here sitting on millions of dollars obtained illegally and on which you paid no taxes? Are you all happy to pay taxes on your meager earnings, while some who acquire great annual incomes illegally pay zero taxes? Do you...

And in this worse than average economy, companies are trying harder to make fewer mistakes, and perhaps keep the more competent staff. Their screwup is an expediter's gain. Funny how that works! The never-ending circle.

Well you know... rumour has it that Toronto does have the odd load coming out of there, headed for your country... why didn't you wait a bit?
