What am I missing? Isn't the 'standard' usually more like 40% if you're a solo driver, or 20% if you're one half of a team, and you don't pay the fuel? Or would you be driving *with* the owner as a codriver? I'm *ssuming you'll be a solo if he's saying he'll pay for hotel rooms? If he gets...

Speaking of sponsors, questionable or otherwise.. aren't the ads on the nascar races just the BEST??

Well *eyeeee* thought it was funny :D Why don't you ask each of the fleet owners for the lowdown on each of their offerings, and ask for stats on how their other vehicles are doing with the respective carriers.

The 'worse' half of the pjjjjj equation picks #88, Junior. (The 'better' half has other things to do than watch cars drive around in circles)

That *was* a great idea ATeam! A little cameraderie amongst expediters sounds like fun! Next time get the waitress to take the pic so you can be in it too!

You know what they say about *SSuming.. Note: presume synonymous with *ssume. :D Either way.. c'mon Xpediter, gotta be a story there!

Anyone bearing gifts of authentic Cholula gets invited for my famous Cajun Chicken Quesadillas (best you'll have), might even give you a honey-do list too :D I hope you told the TST guy about EO.. as far as I've seen, we don't have any representation from that carrier?

What? They don't want you at the buffet til you've showered? :D

Probably should've posted this earlier in the week, but FYI, Monday is a statutory holiday in Ontario. (Family Day). Read: If you take a load into ON, you may be waiting until Tuesday to get out.

He must've been zonked from all those miles he's runnin! :D

Nice gesture.. but even if 100% of those available SK jobs were filled by Ontario job seekers, that still leaves the remaining 92.3% of ON workers who lost their jobs LAST month, unemployed. Nevermind the number that lost their jobs the month before, or this month. Man it's just downright scary...

Hmm, nice pom poms :)

Apparently not, it's not just the American manufacturers suffering. Toyota heads for worst loss since '50 - Autos- msnbc.com

I'll second that! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! And speaking of meat... JuJu, PLEASE teach your husband how to spell WHINE/WHINING/WHINERS, well I mean, since you were discussing *their* English skills the other day! Horse whinny sound effect.wav - Download Animals And then there were two!

The driver who goes with the 40% doesn't pay the fuel, and doesn't get the fsc, however, do they not cover any of the QC, insurance, tolls, cellphone, or other charges? (ie not sure if you have to pay for sending your paperwork into carrier, or if there's a charge for using comdata, or who pays...

Ha, that's hilarious! I'm wondering if some of us expediters are using that new math to calculate whether they're making a profit or not :D

I'm completely with you mjolnir131 (and people are puzzled by MY nick???) ! What difference should your household obligations make, when you are running a business? Either you are earning an 'income', or you are not. What you do with your 'income', is a moot point (sorry mon). The only reason...

Ain't THAT the truth!!! And.. as far as who is taking the hit as far as reduced freight charges, and whether the carrier is also taking a hit.. It depends.. If a broker puts out a call for a bid, on a load he got from a shipper, and the carriers all have a feeding frenzy, and compete to be...

This is just a query.. just wondering.. the J, and perhaps others, don't want the trucks parked out front.. why? Does it turn other travellers off? Make them hesitant to stop in? If so, why? Are these places getting the bulk of their profits (note I said 'profits' vs 'sales'), from truckers, or...
