Any companies worth going to here in Hampton Roads or are containers a lost cause the rest of this year? I am ready to make a move from where I am at now (rather not say). They are not worth mentioning anyway. My tractor is a day cab. I just made the last payment this month so now I am going to be picky before I pull anything. I am seeing plenty work, that is plenty cheap work. Even thought about some short haul flatbed work but I think the container rates have driven that down in the gutter with them. Any suggestions, anybody?

I just had it out with my trucking company. One of the CEO's came here today talking about some of us refusing to pull loads that didn't pay as well as others. He said starting today everyone would have to take the good loads with the bad or face not being dispatched at the local terminal. I gave this a lot of thought while fueling up at Frank's a while ago. When I got back off my run this afternoon I pulled my placards and told them to shove it. I own this d**n truck, they don't. I will find another company in the morning to lease to that pays, if not screw it. I'll park the truck before I run it in the ground because their customers all want discounted freight rates. yjwyjwyjwryjwryjwryjwryjnrszayjnr

SUCK IT UP AND GO BACK TO WORK. YOU DRIVERS HAVE IT MADE WORKING AT THE PORT. HOME EVERY NIGHT. DECENT MONEY FOR WHAT WORK YOU DO. LEARN TO HANDLE YOUR FINANCES BETTER. THAT'S YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM. WHERE ELSE CAN ONE OWN YOUR OWN SMALL BUSINESS WITH VERY LITTLE INVESTMENT ON YOUR PART? NO WHERE THAT I KNOW.

"SMALL BUSINESS WITH VERY LITTLE INVESTMENT"?
This jerk must be talking about other trucking agents with rented office space dispatching loads. Let's see they have rent, lights, phone, fax, computer, etc. None of this equipment drinks fuel, requires constant maintenance on weekends, has parts damaged by nails, bolts, screws or other debris at the terminals, is exposed to hazardous working conditions, or can be ticketed for the slightest infraction of the law. Yeah, we have it made out here alright, moving your f*****g freight.

These trucking companies that have cheesy leasing programs to make you into an instant owner-operator are like working for a title max or payday loan shark. "QUICKCASH" is probably one of them.

MANY OF YOU TRUCK DRIVERS DON'T HAVE THE CREDIT TO PURCHASE A DECENT AUTO TO DRIVE MUCH LESS A PIECE OF FINE EQUIPMENT TO MAKE YOURSELF MONEY. THE GENEROUS LEASE PURCHASE PLAN PROVIDED TO YOU BY A FEW SELECT VA CARRIERS OFFERS YOU THE OPPORTUNITY WITH LITTLE OR NO MONEY DOWN FOR ADVANCEMENT. IF THAT LEASING PLAN WERE TO BECOME UNAVAILABLE THE MAJORITY OF YOU WOULD STILL BE DRIVING A COMPANY OWNED TRUCK, OR DOING MANUAL LABOR ON A CONSTRUCTION SITE IN THE ELEMENTS. INSTEAD OF CONTINUOUS GRIPPING YOU SHOULD BE THANKING YOUR LUCKY STARS FOR BEING ABLE TO WORK IN PORT TRANSPORTATION AS AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR THAT PAYS PROBABLY MORE THAN MOST OF YOU ARE REALLY WORTH.

You get an incredible whammy out of all this by skirting employee taxes, avoiding paying full freight revenue to any legitimate O/O, paying no truck expenses but taking full advantage of write offs, and profiting ten fold or greater over what you paid for the used fleet trucks in the first place while you continue pass it to the next fool. You also manage to get everything repaired each time from anything the last guy left you broken by just adding it to the new lessee-owner (after you steal the last guys final pay & escrow) and the poor saps continue to pay all the expenses over and over again. This is a better scam than having the only buy here/pay here used car lot at the gate of a giant military installation.
You are the very type that have sent port freight rates into the toilet over the past twenty years by you & your fellow cronies unscrupulous trucking practices. You also are the same sort of self serving greedy individual that continues to add fuel to the California (CTP) Teamster employee mandate plan to take away the rights to truck ownership from legitimate owner/drivers nationwide. That's OK, because if we lose our individual right as an owner/driver to haul intermodal freight because of corrupt idiots like you, you also lose along with us, your illegal business scam will also be out on the street. Maybe you can get in line with dozens more just like you to apply for dispatcher at Swift, Schneider, or JB hunt who will be replacing your operation along with all your sleazy buddies too? |

Great post. Your right on the money with this. You can thank at least 80% of these fly by night trucking companies who line the boulevard outside every port gate for escalating this terminal pollution issue being used by the Teamsters to grow legs. If these money hungry companies had been paying what they owed us instead of busy scheming how much they could steal they would have not run off the majority of good drivers with decent equipment. Now the remainder of us left may suffer because of their foolishness if Congress allows every port operator to decide on this clean truck plan replacing the owner-operator trucker.

The posting by this management moron sadly fits the mentality of many of our local Hampton Roads trucking companies. I used to work for TTSI before I realized what a disgusting bunch of liars those people are. They fit the exact same company profile of what (QUICKCASH) thinks of truckers hauling out of the VA ports.

I know what you mean heavyexpress . TTSI is a joke, Cathy, Drew and the others in the office are just plain not a very nice persons, not to mention those ass kissers that drive there , the favorites, the ones who are to stupid to stand up for them selves.
I know only of maybe two or three owners who have any intregity there , the rest are just dumb asses who cry on the cb all day long but will not stand up for them selves
