we have both a loadboard you access and a coordinator that will help you also, you still decide if you want a load or not, its entirely up to you.
its a percentage pay 75 per cent
if ya dont have a trl , you can lease one. it is not a rental, if you pay out the lease its yours. \\
NO QUALCOMM paper logs or you can use a laptop log program. you make a check call once a day and call in empty or loaded , thats it. -
i used to look at net fuel cost when i did my ifta , i tired to spend the least on fuel and if i paid some tax , so be it, if my overall cost between fuel and ifta was lower.
i went last year buying fuel wherever the pump price was cheapest for me , since i didnt have to pay the tax, and was surprised when it worked out so close. -

join in anytime, shadowed. any comments on this thread are appreciated, just trying to give a different perspective than many of these threadsgive -
well, delivered in indiana. saw a load delivering at the naval station in belle chasse, la where my daughter is stationed. delivers monday, kind of affects the revenue somewhat, but i get to see my granddaughter. pretty good trade.
and to add to what shadowed posted,
you also have an assigned payroll person, your own log person , and when you lease own they give you your permits in a notebook that has your cab card, truck and leases in front and the rest in alphabetical order. makes it easy, not like most places that give you everything in a pile and say have at it.
they basically are nice folks. -
No complaints? Thats good ill have to check them out. Do they have an age requirment for equiptment.
