I live in an area that isn’t optimal for good paying loads (south Texas) so i get whatever i can outta the house to a known good area and stay in...
I bought a used T680 that was a fleet truck from Tribe. It had 350k miles on it and was turned in after the 3 year lease was up. I’m thinking...
They sent you the average. If you stay in the right lanes and make the right contacts you could certainly get better paying freight. Many...
I’d recommend buying your own trailer. That’s what I’m gonna do when i put my other truck on for van freight
not kidding myself in any way, i know what the deal is as do most of us. Just wanting to force the hand of the ATA to prove that they’re full of...
The whole point of this conversation isn’t really about hourly pay and it’s merits or disadvantages. It’s that if the ATA wants to push speed...
that’s kinda the point. Well not watching cat videos, lol. But logging on duty while being loaded and unloaded would eventually put pressure on...

That was already signed into law awhile back

What if you have no decals and a not for hire sign? Are you then exempt?
As far as ATBS, you can make a pretty simple spreadsheet to track your expenses and income then email that to a CPA and they’ll do your taxes for...
Well i guess this is confirmation that i need to stick around. If all these drivers are leaving then freight availability should be exceptional...
Sounds good but that weekly payment is gonna wear on you after a while. Is there any type of mileage restrictions or extra charges if you go over...
Looks like some fed ex ground routes will be opened up in SLC
I’m having loadboard issues....can’t find a load outta Cali! Lol
i can only hope karma catches up with the snitches and they get steer blowouts or emissions related problems with their trucks. Nobody like a snitch
