    Importance of Freight

    You might be surprised how many times they have driver emergencies. I had one guy that had his Grandmother pass away four times in the ten years he worked for me. Another got "kidnapped" by out of state drug dealers and missed a week of work. But one thing about the guys that worked for me, they...

    Greg even if you figured that the quarter was only half over, there would only be $26,400.00 for the year. And if you are in service 77% of the time, thats 281 days on the road times your $35.00 daily expense before fuel. That only leaves $16,563.00. Why bother, heck we can make more with a Toro...

    I sent Dave a request to delete my previous post. While what I said was the truth, I think that I painted all of PII with the brush that I wanted to paint the dispatcher with. I feel that I painted a picture of PII that was not acurate, dispatcher yes PII no. Don't post until you calm down...

    Need for Speed

    My average was 71 or 72, after I called they removed that violation, but left the one on there for 84 mph. picky, picky, picky. Right wrong or indifferent we run the speed limit, we could get better fuel mileage if we did not run 70 mph, but I have the need for speed.;)

    Our Longest Run of ALL TIME

    We did Nova Scotia last fall. If you really want to see something cool go see The Bay of Fundy. It's claim to fame is that it has the highest recorded tide in the world, 43 feet twice daily. They say it is more water going out in one cycle than all of the streams and rivers in the world. From...

    Need for Speed

    Quick question, is the speed limit 75mph on I-335 / 35 from Topeka, to Wichita? Got a log book violation from the company,and want to double check that the speed limit is 75 and not 70, before I call and whine.

    25/25 Guideline?

    $29K a year truck payment? Am I the only one to see a problem with that. On top of that as a single? With that payment you would be working on the truck for the truck and nothing but the truck. That only leaves 71K, after insurance 64K. Then fuel, Maint., Repairs, tire fund, plates, tolls...

    Any one missing a P2 truck?

    Sorry, but we all know that there are some agents/dispatchers that could care less. Defending them does not make good sense. All companys have them, they are like that at any company, there to get a check and go on. Life is to short to get worked up about it. It will not change anything. Do we...
