    Well.
    After 40 minutes, Western Express finally got parked, he tried beside me, I even got out and told him by signal, when to turn the wheels.
    He got mad because he wouldnt do what was told, drove to another spot, got it started to go in, the stretched the trailer out to end on slider. o_O
    Then got in there after I had to yell to “Stop!” before he backed through a bobtail.

    So, 20 more minutes, he’s parked.
    Then goes to telling me it was all Western Express fault, they sent him here to Montgomery.o_O

    So, now he wants to change carriers, only making .27/mile on a sliding scale..short runs pay up to .30/mile

    Wow.. I thought I paid myself cheap at $140/Day that I work.
     
    Rocks, D.Tibbitt and WesternPlains Thank this.

    I figured a long time ago, PYF(pay yourself first)
    If you had someone else, you’d pay them, I’ve done percentage, mileage, salary and the truck got guarenteed $2500 week before when leased to anothed company until the drivers screwed that by not wanting to work, and still collect, so they canceled that after 3.5 years.
    But my wage usually averaged about the same.
    That way it keeps business and me seperate, and I pay my state/federal every month, though it works out they get 1 check out of every 4.
     
    WesternPlains, Rocks and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    I think they might be a little bit light in the front end.

    Somebody has bumped this guy beside me.
    This was not here an hour ago.

    I should investigate, or say I know nothing?
