Bad company or good, are you ready?

Controlled Regional is more or less City-to-City and Terminal-to-Terminal far as I can tell. I imagine that you live in the Midwest, since that's been the biggest opening for them recently. I'd have to get back to work to look at the exact numbers, but i do believe it's 35-40% D&H, the rest being L/U. Also, if you do have back problems, make sure you get Lumper info from us when you know you're on such a load.

GOOD LUCK!

 

i just scroll past any thing that jb hunt dude posts

 

I spoke with a recruiter yesterday. He said the next year will be a blood bath for small carriers and ANYONE carrying a debt load. It's going to be tricky, there will be some killer deals on used equipment but can you keep it moving to pay for it?
But we've all seen tough times before. And that which doesn't kill us, makes us stronger.

 

Well I get big laugh out these post like this. Oh the Construction has falling out so bad economy. Every where I look I see new building being built. I see new business every day. But the economy is falling. Guess we forgot how everything looked during the 90's when all the business were closing their doors going to Mexico and other countries, and we survived. But when I see all the new business being built it hard to see the view points of the sky is falling.

 

It was a cover thy dispatchers arse run. Seems the "original" truck sent to get the load, was lying in the middle of the Interstate on it's side, just outside of Denver.

I was drafted to get the load, Moly powder going to Iowa. And yes, I was running chains unlike the other super trucker. Chain law wasn't up, but I wasn't taking any chances going in empty, high winds and snow does that to me. Winds had been clocked through the pass at over 70 mph the night before.

Actually, the road isn't as bad as the pic makes it appear. It was well maintained, just a hard grade with snow and ice. What you can't see, is the guard rail under the snow. To prevent mistakes

 

I wonder if the big trucking companies will cut mileage pay, to help pay for the high diesel prices? I feel sorry for all of the owner operators out there
paying for their own fuel. I dont see how you guys can make any profit with the fuel prices so stupidly high? I heard that the gas/diesel prices are expected to keep rising, well in to 2008.

 

I'll bet when Biff and Buffy, the yuppie couple have to wait 5 extra weeks for Birkenstock Shoes or can't get gas for the BMW and toilet paper goes to 50 bucks a roll, somebody will decide to do something about it. Let's see if they can send a train to Wal-Mart and Kroger or the Gap.
