They don't want company drivers because no company driver would work without receiving any kind of benefits. Their rates likely wouldn't support any sort of bennies for possible company drivers, much less the contractors running for less than nothing. I suppose the way they see it 2007 and...

Back to topic, this do-gooder nonsense all seemed to start several years ago with the sleep apnea craze. The sleep apnea and healthcare industry in general - they are all about stripping wealth from everyone. This trend was no different than EOBR's about a decade ago when they said EOBR's...

Obviously one who doesn't pull a 53' dry van is happy to impose rediculous speed limits on those of us who do. There's really no reason the current 70 mph speed limit in rural I-65 Kentucky is unsafe for all traffic. They would not have raised it to that if engineers thought it an unsafe...

Work 70 hours with your 10 hour DOT rest breaks in between as needed then add a 34 hour restart on that. The next 12 hours you work after that restart makes for 82 hours in a week. Or something like that... For a fun exercise if you have nothing better to do figure it up... I always thought...

I see/hear the same things you mention Charles and I do get better rates from non-sylectus sources more consistently. That's not to knock sylectus, because I have had great loads from it, just calling it how I see it.

Well they've already got a left lane restriction for big trucks in KY where there are 6 lanes. I suppose it applies to straight trucks as well. The van guys can just blend in with general 4 wheelers and and mosey on down the highway. I have to believe LEO's are going to be really cracking...

Ok, no hard feelings then :-) it's just that sometimes people come across as being smart alleck over forums maybe when they don't really intend to. I'm kind of new here and catch heat from time to time for whatever reasons. I'm no expert on expediting but I've been driving a class A...

Yeah I just spoke with a buddy of mine who was routed off the interstate for that one. He said a big truck pulling a container and a flatbed sandwiched a fourwheeler and probably killed several?.?. Just a bad stretch of interstate. A busy one too. It's the main corridor for north south...

Yeah it probably is..... Sorry I didn't refer to it correctly.... as if it really matters... I don't have direct access to any of that freight as individual drivers having that sort of access is frowned upon from what I've been told. The companies that are part of the network are afraid that...

They have a smartphone app that is really nifty as well. Never make nor receive any phone inquiries from them when utilizing this app for all status updates and "check calls".

13 years of driving I've seen more fatalities on I-65 thru KY than anywhere. I've typically ran east of the Miss River in a regional operation for those years. I used to run I-81 thru VA almost weekly, which I tend to think of as a much more dangerous route, and didn't see half the fatalities...

I ran a lot of tractor trailer expedited for a CHR agent and had gotten much better rates out of that agent than a large majority of the freight that's been offered up from Sylectus. I actually prefer to work with them. If you don't have any standards you will definitely haul cheap and heavy...

I saw an independent TT o/o using a pup trailer to haul the same expedited loads I was working at a hot location several months ago. These shipments could have gone out on ST's but over time they did get larger. He was local to that area and simply taking advantage of the situation like we all...

There are consequences for every decision. That much is a given and I sort of took for granted most anyone around here already knows that.. ..but really there are a lot of owners out there who don't/can't seem to grasp that. Make poor decisions, then blame everyone else for their own shortcomings.

Sorry guys I mistunderstood the whole thing with WW - I thought it was a buyout but that's what I get for thinking.

Yes. Whirlwind Express is history it's all Farm2Fleet Trucking now.

Ok, as a TT leased to Bill's company I can say with certainty I know exactly what any load I have hauled has paid. I don't want to veer this thread off topic but a few points here. I negotiate and book the majority of load I haul. These are all spot market loads from brokers. I get the...

Best Fleets to Drive For® - News We're very proud of this one. Little late commenting on it as I have been away from all things trucking these past several days taking a breather. Noticed LoadOne made the cut as well, saw their thread also, congratulations to you guys. From what I gather...

I knew their trucks were long gone.. didn't recall the particulars but I do remember the trucks I've been trucking over 13 years now.. someone in an earlier post had to call me out on that like it was the dumbest question ever because they no longer exist lol.. My point was more along the lines...
