Current rates are now below fleet operating costs! It's official!

#### that is pretty sad stuff. Seems people have lost common sense and can't think for themselves anymore. I think that is why I cant stand most people. Ha ha

 

Dedicated stuff is for the birds. Friend of mine asked me about a month ago if I wanted to buy a food grade tank. They were working on a deal that was 5 loads a day, M-F, and I could’ve been home nightly. I asked about figuring out how to do it with 6 or even 7 trucks and rotate who has weeks off. Apparently the other 4 guys have a higher debt load than me because they all looked at me like I was stupid when I said I have no intention of sitting in that truck 52 weeks a year and I wasn’t going to try and find someone to drive it when I wanted off. The response was “but you’re home every night and on the weekends” and I said that wasn’t good enough for me. I don’t know, maybe I’m just getting old and lazy.

 

Shoot, I haven’t filled my opening for O/O yet. Had a half a dozen inquire but some didn’t even have a truck. Some were owner of truck and had 1099 drivers. Sounds too messy.

 

I can about imagine how it goes dealing with someone who is leased on with a driver in the truck. Driver tells you one thing. Owner wonders why his truck isn’t working. You’re caught in the middle of their fight.

 

Especially when it comes to payroll.

 

I've had quite a few, about 50/50 for problems. But when there is problems it's a nightmare.

 

Ha ha I think I would had said the same thing. I like my time off to much and going home every day is not time off if you are working 12-14 hours a day. Just go home to take a shower and eat. F that

 

I forgot the "are you SAP friendly?"

 

I suppose I should know, but what is SAP friendly?
