No offense taken. Everybody should be honest about their knowledge or lack thereof. I am leaning toward rebuild or used truck around 3 to 7...
I am a small carrier. The truck I own is an 06 Freightliner columbia with detroit. I am not mechanically inclined so I cannot tell you the type...
You claim that "professional" dispatchers are nothing more than junior brokers and you could not be further from the truth. First off, I am a...
Good point Winnifred. We have a safety net that prevents what you are speaking of. I do not allow my dispatchers to take $1.25 unless it is at...
Rollin Coal: Your scenario is 100% TRUE. I do agree there and you bring up a valid point I failed to think about with the last post. I have a...
I am very late on my responses as we have been swamped. I hope the rest of you have been too. This summer is proving to far surpass 2012...
Hi five on this comment Rollin Coal! Ain't that the truth!!! I cannot stand it when they tell me no touch to the driver 15 times in 30 seconds...

I came up with a good idea about 3 years ago that was born out of my painful dealings with brokers. I am not trying to badmouth ALL brokers, but...
Grumppy: A semi insurance cost $4,000 to $6,000 more per year with most ins companies. The apportioned tag is tripled for a semi. Also you...
Yeah my driver was at 30 and then that was multiplied by 3 for time weight bringing it to 90.
Back to the reason I went on this thread! Bad brokers...everyone knows tql is on the list but there is a reason that I have not seen anyone...
I have been questioned about HUT and KYU for years. Every agent wants you to get KYU when you set up an authority even if you are pulling a 10 ft...
And finally a non serious one of the bunch. Thanks for lightening my mood!
