That is interesting piper1 changes your cost of business from ours a great deal. Thanks for the insite on that as I had just not paid much attention to what you guys were having to pay for fuel in Canada.
How is everyone doing?

Piper is prolly paid the same rate in US dollars...so when the Looney is low like last month at .82 vs the US buck....there was money to be made....BUT when the Loon is high as it is now...it bites.

After Pelicn said may was bad for them, I threw some #'s it the wall for may....may was pretty good here...1st i do not look at fsc as a seperate stream of income...it all gets tossed together for me. I know alot of you don't do that, but I'd be willing to bet most of you don't run your business as i run mine at all...so..
for may i ran just under 10,000 loaded miles and less then 1300 total dispatched empty miles to get to a load...(i don't keep track of the miles i ran all over lookin for freight because that is my decision to do so as i refuse to sit for any extended amout of time, but you can bet that it was more then my dispatched DH miles) when i move emptu lookin for freight, I move on my dime i never take a paid empty move...in the month of may i ran for over and average of over $.86 a loaded mile........so that ain't too bad in a CV......solo driver..........

It is nice to see diesel prices lower than gas prices. That is the way it should be. Diesel is cheaper for the refineries to make.

Dakota that is not always the case in some areas of the country.

Bruno,what can we fight about when your not posting anything negative?
May sucked out loud for us. We were driving an owner's truck, and the runs just weren't there. I believe the better part of the month was just wrong place, wrong time.
Bought our truck on 6/3, in service 6/5, and have been going like gangbusters ever since. Got laid over in Toronto last week and thanked the heavens for it, as we knew there wasn't crap coming out of there. We were dead tired. Parked in the Husky in Mississauga, used the head, laid down, and the darned phone rang again. I prayed that it wouldn't ring, but was equally glad that we could keep moving, with money to boot. That little run paid well, too.

Well, at least with 14 loads a day they should have something for me by the end of the week. I'm #12 so we'll see...............no beeps yetI am good...993 miles already and it is only Monday....
Last week was 1862 miles...the week before was 1700 and change..and most of it no NLM..

Sorry I didn't respond to alot of your posts. My wife needed me more, sorry to say. Her Father became very sick last Monday morning and we had to call EMS to take him to Lodi Hospital. It didnt look very good so they flew him to Akron. It was a very bad week for us as her Father passed away this past weekend. I hope you all understand, I wasn't trying to be rude.
Your right Steve. Sometimes in life you have to look at yourself and not others for the dumb things you do or say. You know what I'm talking about. I have come a long way from a year ago Steve. I'm sorry if I ever upset anyone or any company ever on here. I know I took somethings the wrong way on here a few times with Ateam, Phil I'm sorry for my actions if I upset you in any way. I'm going back to reading and not posting now.
