    I have been in the field with swift. throwing money at something that you know nothing doesnt mean they will stay long. I am still running 90% street tires. Swift (by the hour) is one and a half hours longer than us. They are chaining up now. Just wait until winter hits. Foreman in pennyloafers. Joke a strieght Joke Sheridan

    cobra, ironmule, and other - can i please get an update on how things are looking up there for power fuels, MBI, and some of the other big boys? activity increasing/decreasing? still super competitive? pressure on rates or are rates finally increasing again? i've heard its generally been warmer up there than normal so activity has stayed stronger than usual for the season.

    any idea if power fuels is still adding new trucks and equipment? if anyone works for PF, have you noticed a change since Heckmann took over? does anyone know anything about what the rental market looks like? thanks guys.

    Changes since heckmann... Insurance rates are going up.... They have been firing people for stuff lately that they wouldn't of 6 months ago.... Checking billing and times with a fine tooth comb.... If u do your job and don't try to scam or cheat billing u have nothing to worry about... Also they say they want to hire 200 drivers after the new year.... We took a big hit on our shift... Half the drivers just quit or were fired in the last 90 days... Plenty of apt in our building available.... We even lost a few dispatchers... Jan is the time to apply... But there going to be more picky on driver qualifications.... Your gonna have to have good experience. The days of 2 weeks out of driving school are long gone...
