    How Does it Feel to Buy Fuel?

    I just KNOW this is going to be a stupid question, (but oh well eh).. why do I remember a time many years ago when people were thrilled to have purchased a diesel fuelled car, becuz diesel prices were SO much lower than regular gas, and now diesel is higher than gas????? :confused:

    How Does it Feel to Buy Fuel?

    Ha, yes! I keep telling myself I want to sell our second vehicle, which we rarely drive, and pick up a decent, $1000, safetied sh*tbox to just have in case of emergency or the rare times we need 2 cars.. but I guess those don't exist anymore and the $1000 sh*tbox is now probably going for $5000!

    Flat Rate Pay Plan

    Sorry, I guess I asked a stupid question? All I've been hearing about are: i)too many trucks for the number of loades, and ii)how cheap the loads are paying on the boards. So I asked an innocent question. Just seemed to me that instead of having a whole pile of unhappy OO's who feel they...

    Flat Rate Pay Plan

    Great post! I'm curious though.. if they need 1500 trucks to cover 500 customers/loads, why not just have something like 750 trucks, and post the no-pays to the load boards?

    fuel pump 1999 chevy

    Too bad I didn't read your little tip there Moot, to pass on to husb to try. His is a new truck with not many miles on it. So I guess they are still making the crap fuel pumps, or maybe his was built with the very last old one. Interestingly, he's heard from a couple others with similar...

    Stop Smoking Now!!!

    Why isn't there the same concern for all the women, children, and families' lives who have been devastated by alcohol and gambling? The affected parties aren't always the ones actually doing it, but many a life has been ruined by the effect of someone who did. Car crashes, life injuries...

    How Would This Work?

    Just was wondering how other carriers would have handled it; I forgot this part - husb was in city of pickup, just having delivered something; they asked him to hang around for 5 hours to wait for a pickup in same city, diff location; so he arrived at pickup early, (earlier than the 5 hours til...

    How Would This Work?

    If you're sent to pick up at a certain location, certain time; You arrive early, let shipper know you're there, they're waiting on a part to arrive from someone else, so they can get the thing you're picking up, ready to go; They're late; other part has not yet arrived; It's Friday night; The...

    ROI or Return on Investment

    I made a new thread so that those who don't want to read about ROI, don't need to find it in the middle of a different topic. I'm also confused as to how to calculate ROI. I'm good with P&L, but not with ROI. I know that in real estate, it is supposed to be a simple calculation, for...
