Hmmm, is that kinda like a veiled threat? <snort>

I don't like to be a doomsayer, but apparently the implementation of HST on July 1st in Ontario is expected to create a flurry of activity in the months leading up to it as buyers and sellers scurry to save the 13% on everything that now has only a 5% tax, including realty, legal, inspection...

How do your numbers compare with same from previous carrier? Any word on how many actual miles/how much DH? Are the owners happy they made the switch?

The decoder ring I picked up awhile back says he's talking about trucker fitness/BMI. Is something new at the Fed?

Be sure to do the math before you sign up! IF you get 1100 miles per week, every week, for say, 48 weeks per year, you'll 'gross' the $45000...... but there are a lot of deductions to subtract from that amount before you get to your income before taxes. It may work out that you will end up with...

Squish you head!

Shouldn't this thread be in the Panther Forum so outsiders are not able to comment on your carrier's inadequacies?

Altho one might get the idea that factoring must be a great service, based on the large sum of money they command, there are HUGE issues with that as well, issues you couldn't possibly think of considering until you're there. I'm going to vote for going with a small independent... or a little...

Take some proactive measures to check it out for yourself. ie.. hang around and see if you can meet up with any current drivers in their lot or something, go armed with the questions you now know to ask from reading thru EO archives. I know one person that was completely disillusioned with them...

<hehe> Kind of like the other way around where the employer asks you for references.. you're not going to give the bad ones.. but if you can't come up with ANY good ones, there might be an issue there.

Wow! Look how fast my horsies are galloping today!

Thanks! I didn't realize it was going to be such a tough thing to find! I guess perhaps many places would not want to share theirs even if they did have them. Having them and operating by them are 2 different animals tho, so there shouldn't be any great big trade secrets! The secret would be in...

I was wondering if anyone here might have some background in shipping AND be willing to help me out? I need a starting point from which I can develop a set of 'Standard Operating Procedures' for a shipping department. Does anyone know where I might be able to put my hands on a sample document...

Not meaning to be argumentative here, but..... how do you figure that setting a goal, or even choosing an arbitrary goal of double the revenue from month before, is going to be a great way to gross more income? If you set the goal, and check it twice (daily), it isn't going to make the goal...

Do you think the net income might be better than in expediting? :D

I love QB! You can enter it in different ways, and get into however much detail you want. Don't go too hog wild tho, becuz it can become a monster. You want to keep it simple, while being able to easily obtain whatever information you're going to want to look at often. One way you can do it is...

Oh, OVM! I didn't know! Rumored good taste in summer clothing, as WELL as being a fancy man too! Woooohooooooo! Sounds like Juju netted a good catch there!

Ah, does that mean you're located in MD? Anyway, cool idea for sharing info, allowing updates among allowed associates, and still keeping the whole process secret, so no potential liability! I imagine the list could also be sorted alphabetically, or by whichever piece of info is needed, so easy...

Hi Mdbtyhtr (what's the scoop behind THAT nick??) What do I have to do to access that document? Thanks

It's the same sort of thing with owners of investment properties who have tenants. There are a lot of bad tenants out there. It would be great to have a list of bad apples available, but potential liability prevents such a thing. It's possible though, for owners to band together, much like...
