I wanted to reply in another thread, but I can't, so I started a new one. It was in regard to tblount's comparison of 2 carriers, and revenue, expenses, and bottom line. I just wanted to point out that escrow shouldn't be factored in as an 'expense', because it is more like a 'savings account'...

Leo, I have to say that I'm surprised by your views on the above, having heard your views on other laws. The same could be said for ANY laws.. they exist because a certain, perhaps small, percentage of the people won't do the right thing on their own, without 'laws' in place. Same can be said...

I guess we're kinda monopolizing the forum here.. so check your private messages, and I will send you some info.

I would spend this weekend really researching, and hopefully some more Ontario people will chime in here.. because I know we all know about them. I know you also need to get started right away, to start making money to pay for everything. You say you don't have any commercial driving exp but...

:( Do some research online. They're an offshoot of Kennedy, I believe even owned by Kennedy. They will own you. They're not well respected in the industry, including amongst insurers here. There are better companies out there who would be happy to have you.

Yes, sounds like the plates (and ownership) will be going in their name.. so you won't need yours, but, if I were you? I would apply for one right now, before the plates change. Then when the time comes to switch carriers, you will already have it. It will be less hassle then.

Ah, you pore thang :( I hope you also didn't sign on with Avastar or whatever they're called??

Sorry, I spoke too soon.. it depends if your carrier will be getting the ownership/plates etc under their name.. or yours.. do you happen to know? If you apply for a CVOR, it should only take a few days in the mail.. I don't know if you can go in to get one.. you can't just walk into any...

You will be operating under your carrier's cvor. You didn't go thru Kennedy to get your truck, did you?

We're too new to comment on the busy-ness, or lack of it.. But.. there's always EO to keep your sanity while you sit!

Being a relative newbie, I shouldn't speak, (but you know, I can't keep it zipped eh?).. but I've heard it said by MANY seasoned in this industry, to take all you can, when you can, cuz you never know what tomorrow will bring. That being said, of course you have to use some common sense, as...

Who are you signed on with Doug?

I've been meaning to make a post about this for some time now. Wanted to bring it to anyone'ss attention, to be aware of wording. People can say things in certain ways to make you believe certain things, which aren't true, and yet in fact, they didn't actually tell a 'lie'. Not mentioning any...

I was kinda thinkin the same thing myself.. well not in so many words.. but.. prolly many contractors would kill (not literally), for the opportunity to run that hard. If you were driving from 10am to 5:40pm, and shut down for roughly 8.5 hours.. AND you don't have to log.. I can see why it's...

I find firefox to be lacking to begin with, nevermind if it's trying to cope with popups, and pdfs and stuff. I deleted mine and went back to IE.

Shah, who are you with now? I remember you posting earlier that you were looking for a carrier, and didn't want to cross the border, and didn't have a sleeper. Good luck in finding a board, serving a specific location.. ain't no such animal. Why are you feeling you're being treated as a second...

A long time ago, I worked at an insurance co where they gave 8 sick days paid per year, but it was screwed up, something like you had to be off for 2 at a time. You can bet that every employee made sure they took the max each year, as you weren't allowed to bank them. These laws are killing the...

That's interesting.. At least they're not getting the whole fleet of OOs to subsidize the higher price for the TVAL trucks.

Ha, that sounds really fun, I would watch it!

Would that have been espresso?
