    WHAT ARE OUR HOURLY WAGE(s) ??

    As of today (and not counting the last couple days of air freight debacle thanks to US customs) my effective rate is around $8.25 an hour with the cr unit. What was the "deacle"? And why would you not count it? $8.25 per hour is real, real good. I was closer to $2.50. But counted all hours...

    WHAT ARE OUR HOURLY WAGE(s) ??

    NO, nope, wrong. (in my opinon) Does the car saleman then only use the 45 minutes that he writes up the contract. I can see your point Leo, but it would be better to deduct just the sleeper birth time that is required by the DOT. We can not say "Waiting is part of the job" and then say you can't...

    Hino resale values

    I will say that the Hino does show promise with some tweaking for a highway application. Dave is now the king of the understatement.

    Used IdleAire for the first time

    I only used it one time about two years ago and did not think it was all that good. The only thing it is good for for me would be to keep the hours off the engine. Or the superbowl.

    I have 3 questions for you.

    You allready answered the question. They (you) quit. Some people are not smart enough to do payroll. No pay info for runs completed would have me concerned thou. More than one person trying to make a living off of a van would be real tuff.

If every now and then they don't respond quick enough, I will go to plan "B". Plan "B" is to use my expereance(sp) and go where the...
