    Runs that are on % of loads

    At least you don't have to give up the same percentage of your fsc, and at least you can be informed what the load pays before you accept it, nevermind the getting ALL info on the load!

    Heads-up when you decide to buy a truck

    I would take it in to your lawyer if you are only 2 months into this thing, and ask if there isn't some way to get out of it since they weren't up front in their disclosure of the real interest rate. It's probably worth the lawyer fee to at least feel you tried, even if there's nothing you can...

    Dispatch Favoritism

    Personally I also agree that you should get the first offer, and it should be your decision to take it or leave it BUT what if the first offer out of a dead place is a mini, or crap load.. i)you decline, and go to bottom of list? or ii)you take it and come back to sit at bottom of list? I can...

    Hotel Discount Card

    Thanks for the info. I must be doing something wrong.. I tried to do a search to see available motels.. tried a bunch of places.. michigan, ohio, ann arbor, toronto, ontario, boston.. they all came up with 'zero' found for any of those locations.

    Crashed Old Yeller

    Sorry to hear of your misfortune! Does highway patrol lay any charges in a case like this? I'm *ssuming insurance won't be involved? Well I guess you could look at it that you got off very lucky, I guess those things work! Good luck with whatever you decide to do with your free time!

    Sort of newbie - questions

    Best of luck to you! Sounds like you have found yourself a great way into the expediting industry without much risk. To me, it's a good sign he was willing to give you his other drivers' numbers and encouraged you to call them. When you say, 'as long as .... I'm making good money'...

    Computer Clock

    I know this has nothing to do with EO support, sorry :) One of your fellow EOer's (me) is feeling like a member of the Twilite Zone! I have a 2.5 y/o laptop; I'm thinking the problem is somehow related to the change in daylight savings time a couple of years ago? Anyway, my problem is...

    Advise on startup

    This is just a suggestion, from a newbie at that, but what about coughing up the fifty bucks or whatever the cost is for the one you choose, and sign up with a load board, just to see what's there.. check it out for a month.. make some calls to find out the real rates, etc. Might give you some...

    Liability

    Thank you Piper and Greg and ATeam But you really don't have to worry about taxes if there's no profit. D*mmit Greg, when are you going to answer to these concerns and find solutions to these problems of short runs, high fuel costs, and high percentages of deadhead???? :D

    Liability

    I had always understood that it was safer to be incorporated, becuz if you were in an accident and subsequently sued, they would sue the corporation, rather than you personally. I was reading however, that in the case of an owner operator, if you are in a horrible accident, and you were also...
