That's roughly my fixed cost without fuel. Leases are 3.5 - 5 yrs, depends on truck year and mileage. Buyout $10-12k. Originally Posted by Hazzard County

I was kidding on all that stuff.... I don't have a margarita mixer.
I'm off to bed... hope all that helps you decide and come onboard. Talk to you later.

JCW got to the shipper this morning. They can't seem to find their loading manifest. Guess we'll take that detention. As well as the 2 extra stops (which we do know about.) It does however, put our lunch on hold.

$35/hour. Whether ACT collects it or not. 2 hours after appointment time, I believe. (Cliff can correct me, if I'm not right.) So, in this case at 8:45 this am.

Still like getting paid detention for the shipper not being on the ball. Seriously, they get all ****** w/ the driver if he's late, but if the shipper or rcvr can't get their act together, the driver is supposed to smile and say "oh, that's ok, I didn't want to get down the road today anyway." Either way, I'm having a late lunch w/ my hubby today. Drop #1 is in T-town, which, conveniently is where I happen to be sitting. Originally Posted by BlackLions
