Out of curiosity DD, do your t-shirts also mention GM?

:D ha, thanks for the laughs!

I thought it was a metal horse too, looks way more like that than a grasshopper, I'll keep trying to see the grasshopper though, while I wait for JJ to post something profound.

That makes 4 of us :eek:

Can you go out and get your own truck lease? If things didn't work out with a carrier, and your truck lease was with them, it may not work out so well for you.

I remember reading back in an older post one time, someone saying their carrier wanted them to sign a power of attorney, and being really confused about that. In investigating our options for getting our own operating authorities, I received a quote from a 'service' which looks after getting...

Is it better to sit for 4 days (or potentially more?), paying for a motel, or to get your fuel cost covered by the carrier, and move towards 1500 miles (that IS an awful lot!), with perhaps more opportunity along the way (they got a 'good ride' before they reached Chicago in the end anyway)?

The carrier currently holds everythiing in their own name, so we have to get plates and insurance looked after before the CVOR, since the app asks for that info. We were hoping to do this one step at a time, but seems like the steps pretty well have to be done all at the same time.

Thanks for the info, but I need to find a Canadian broker.

Man, am I confused! (I know, what else is new eh?) I'm trying to get some ballpark pricing on insurance.. truck, cargo, etc. I was given the name of an apparently knowledgable broker who deals with the trucking industry. Give her the info, she calls one insurer so far, who deals with the...

Not saying your drivers don't have a pretty good deal, relatively speaking, however that $4000 in taxes which you are paying on their behalf, is still 'their' money. It doesn't save them anything, except having to come up with it all at once at tax time. They of course, also receive other...

Ya but, can ya take a field bath in that rain?

Guy must be an expediter, to have had all that time to practice! haha, I kill myself! :D

I was speaking to someone today who was telling me about an OO's payment arrangement with his driver, and I don't recall reading anything about this on EO, and wondered how this works with folks. Who pays for the fuel used in unauthorized deadheading, if the Owner is paying the fuel on a...

I'm wondering if, in the case of carriers who take a percentage of the fsc, those carriers will be viewed as the ones who actually buy the fuel, if the company's fuel card is used; Davekc is right, this doesn't sound like it could ever be policed, too many variables.. Seeing as how there...

ahhh sooooo :eek:

Haha, good post! I remember when kids were threatened that when they got 'the strap' at school for .. whatever.. from the principal, most of the parents would also give the kids 'the strap' when they got home! Now, they just lay criminal charges against the principal, pull poor Johnny out of...

haha, thanks for the laugh :D but i see you didn't answer my question eh?

It seems for the past couple of weeks, postings have slimmed down somewhat.. I'm going to be an *ss and assume this means things are getting busier over there? I don't think the same seems to be true on this side of the line.. have spoken to a few companies this week who have been quite slow...

Congrats Eric on doing that well with your carrier, just a short time ago, you seemed a bit concerned :eek: The fuel surchages WOULD do a good job of covering the fuel IF we all received 100% of them. Who is your carrier again?
