    I think that about sums up what many of us have been posting on here for quite a while. I will add what many forget when looking at the rates for a market is to convert that to their situation, the market is a gross rate situation , and if youre running for 75 per cent adjust accordingly.

    your description is exactly what several of us have been posting, but we somehow seem to be at odds over this. must be a difference in how things are worded. what it takes is a bit of patience sometimes to get a better rate.

    Yup I'm waiting to see what's wrong with mine. But I'd rather mercer point it out rather than DOT. I'm already starting in the hole with some exhaust leaks I got repaired yesterday. On another note the driver here are truly helpful. For no reason they'll help you out no questions asked.

    Taylor, that has been mentioned in this thread several times. Including me when my last annual cost me a week and over 3 grand. If I didn't mention it when we spoke on the phone, I apologize.
    Another big one to look for is having atleast a couple threads showing on your lug studs. This can be an issue for guys who had short studs, then added aluminum rims.

    This is one of the few things we disagree on. I think new guys need to talk to their coordinate as often as possible to build a good relationship. the best way for a coordinator to know what you like to do, and what you don't like to do is lots of repetitive communication.

    No worries. All is well, I passed my inspection so I'm good. Either way the whole atmosphere is unbelievable with the people here. The drivers are beyond helpful.
