Maybe I've been reading too much of the stuff in EO's Soapbox, but something happened today which I am feeling really uncomfortable with. On Friday I shipped 2 very small shipments via courier from Canada to the USA. Done before. No problem. Next day delivery please. Value: $25. Contents: Books...

Which carrier will your owner be signing on with?

Sure. Can you say obnoxious?

If the expenses are shared, shouldn't the write-offs be shared also? OTOH, does a 40/60 driver get any write-offs?

=============== Just thinkin here........... You'd be a 'team'... in a D unit.. with FECC... Say your gross revenue was $2500/wk or $10000/month (is that too much to expect these days for a team in a D with FECC??) According to BigJoe himself (in saying that out of $1000 to the truck he would...

You're right, that IS one of the saddest things. Forces me to think about husband/wife teams. Not only does the spouse lose his/her significant other, which is awful enough in itself. The widow/widower also loses their team status, perhaps their driving business (if they choose to not drive as a...

by chefdennis by greg334 So you're saying that this new program where everyone will be covered, will be the same as now, where everyone is also looked after? So let's take this a step further. Everyone is covered now, the hospitals pay, charities pay, and tax dollars pay. Who pays the tax...

Forgive me if I'm asking a stupid question or making a stupid comment, as I don't keep up on the day-to-day happenings re your healthcare bills. What I'm getting tho, is that many Americans are totally against having the type of healthcare we have over here, where everyone (except illegal...

Will you 'have to purchase' the van from the co you're contracting with to give you the work? Why would you consider a 'new' van if you're only going to work minimal hours? It's prob best if you can go somewhere else to purch/lease a used van (there are bazillions out there). Sounds like your...

You know Screech, you're sounding awfully familiar !

OMG Arlene, I am SO sorry to hear this. What a shock. I hope you have family to support you through this time. Try to take some healing time before making any huge decisions. I'm sure that Jim would not hold you to any promises made if they were going to affect your ability to earn a living. My...

If you are an employee, you have a regular payday and you must wait until then to receive your pay for past service. It is common for contractors in other businesses to demand partial payment upon agreeing to do the work, which would usually cover the outright expenses the contractor would have...

In my experience, it's more like 15 ;)

There is a small handful of us from Ontario Rucan. If you feel uncomfortable saying who you're signed on with, msg me and let me know. Between the handful of us, we might have some suggestions on where you might try to sign on, to better meet your needs. Are you an owner/operator now or are you...

Is the vehicle paid for? The vehicle would have to be in the corporation's name. The corporation would have to claim the lease payments as income. Would the corporation have many expenses to offset the income?

It can't stay away. Must love us!

Oh c'mon.. adds some salty seasoning and flavah! :D It seems many employees get 'more' careless with gloves on, than they are without. It's almost like they think the gloves are to protect 'themselves', rather than the eating customer! If they changed gloves as religiously as they're supposed...

Hola! :eek: Maybe it's your accent!

Rlent, how long ago were your bad experiences with the 407 ETR? Just curious. I know in years past the admin end was impossible to deal with. I have found there has been great improvement in more recent years. They seem to speak and understand English now, and seem able to deal with whatever...

Our government is being oversensitive and overzealous regarding their interest in cigarettes lately, I've been hearing a lot of trucker stories of being harassed by police for carrying minimal quantities. There is a lot of smuggling and contraband activity going on, and they're cracking down. If...
