I'd pat you on the back but your hand is in the way. Also be careful not to trip on your ego today.

@ home. I'm considering giving up expedite at this time due to health concerns. I really need to go see a physical therapist due to neck and back problems. I'll be making a decision shortly, but I need some time to think it over. It's bills vs. a disability check. and the bills are winning....

Sure hope you can figure it out. Health problems are not good. Good luck to you.

I can get a check for 800 a month and then you will see me hanging out in front of the truck stops begging for spare change. lol. I am gonna go the "build another company from the ground up approach" before I give up and get the obama checks. I think you can get a lot of contracts of you are a "certified disability owned business!" All I need now is a woman co-owner and a minority and I will hit all three diverse certifications and there will be no stopping me! lol. I hope you get your medical stuff looked into. I worked day and night right after being discharged from the hospital and it tore me up pretty bad.

Yeah, that's the dilema I'm in. I really don't want to be "mooching" off of the Obama checks when I can still drive, but in my current status if I don't get this neck or back taken care of soon I may be permanently disabled....And you're right, $800 doesn't cover crap. and my E1 paycheck wasn't covering the bills either when I was only getting 5-700 miles per week. I can make more money delivering pizzas. LOL
Well I hope you get well soon Fal and for the rest of ya as well. Your right about one thing the Loads are not paying what they should.
Dont matter if your a Tractor Trailer Driver or a Straight Truck or VAN.
Fuel at 4.25 a gallon the Tolls well George is 75 bucks for a tractor and the white stone let not go there then there is the Gonth and the Verazo and that wonderous NJ TP as well. Let us not forget about the 76 the or the 276 or the 476 or Wonderous baltimore and Del and the such. If I was running south when fuel was cheap i coud run the 301 and save a bit. But now fuel is such that somtimes depending on the weight stop lites ect its cheaper to run the tolls.
Somtimes its not.
Depending on the Price of the load and the tolls is what makes or Breaks the Decission.
Some people dont like going into NY with a Tractor Trailer some do.
The price has got to be right to go in.
If Im paid 2 bucks a mile for the milage and then paid the fuel surcharge on top of that and then paid the Tolls on top of that I dont got a problem.
But if the load payen 1000.00 for 563 miles I say pass. The trucks paying to run the Freight.
You pay me 2 bucks a mile and then add the fuel surcharge as well as the tolls then Ill do the load. Many Companies wont do that. But why should the guy that owns the truck have to pay to haul their freight. Thats not how it works. You got to remember somthing 2 bucks a mile is for a Tractor Trailer not for the Straight trucks and Like I said then add the fuel surcharge and then add the tolls. One last thing when you go in You got to come out. But that is not seen (Plow Horse with Blinders on.) Even if another load is offered to ya as Prize if its not picken up there or Paying Excessively well you still eat the tolls coming outa NY NY or Jamica or where ever. So when I go to NY area My Price is enough that I get in and out. I have sat at many a table with teams and Know they dread NY as its not a money maker for a team. Long times ect. Thats why there is a High rate of turn downs of loads Tractor Trailer that are going to NY NY ect weather its the Airport or Manhatten, Bronks or even Madison Square Garden. ect. Where am I at same place as Yesterday after Dropped. Oh yes for those Tanker load Drivers dont forget the freight Totes with HAZ ect each one has to be marked same as outside of the Truck DOT will check and your Fault if its not. I had a gut feeling when I read the regs. I got checked glad I did. You dont know better re read. (Haz Tanker loads Marked same as out side) Also if there is a team in the truck and one has Tanker and one dont if its a Tanker load You cant take the load. DOT Regs.
This is a HINT I know you read this.
Garbage is taken out.
