    florida

    87% of Florida Manufacturing companies employ less than 10 people. Also Florida has a tax for items that are manufactured by employees but company owners who make products do not have to pay that tax so there are alot of super tiny companies. The object of the game is to have a small employee...

    Kitty-B-Gone

    We used to own a decal removal business before selling it and moving to Florida. We stripped all 50+ Amway trucks in Ada Michigan without any residue or "ghosts" in 5 days. I think this is when they sold their OTR division down the river to the lowest bidder. Anyway this is the easiest way to...

    USHIP.com

    Just like that other guy said, not worth the time or even the time to look unless you want some entertainment to see the people putting in bids to move a car 4500 miles for 25.00. My personal favorite is the two sick cats, 1 dog and 3 adults to Denver from Miami for a bid of 35.00...This is...

    Selective Code Enforcement?

    I'm pretty sure that the State DOT commercial vehicle enforcement officers will help you fight the city ordinance. We had a problem with our truck which is not lettered and under the ordinance in our town of anything over 20 feet. Code enforcement came here and called the cops who called the...

    Barn Doors or Roll Up Door???

    Barn doors are pretty easily torn off by those tired drivers that back into tight docks next to you. I can tell you that they are very heavy to lift up and put new pins in/hinges on Just a thought

    Truck finance

    I emailed Intimidator with a solution and while we dont have a tractor trailer we were able to get a truck when a dealer turned us down. With a new business no matter what your credit rating is here in Florida it was hopeless, I was told in 3 years we'll talk by the banks. We started a...

    Creating new ID's to flame someone!

    Why would anyone have their IP address available? You guys that are concerned about privacy need to look for Ghost Surf software. It supposedly scrambles your IP address like 8 times a second. Also supposed to eliminate spam and gives hackers a hard time. Your computer will also be faster. Duke

    What to buy?

    You should screech to a complete halt right away. That letter of intent means nothing if you havent actually been hired yet. I would wait until after you get hired as in take your physical/drug screen and your background comes back. This very thing almost happened to us, we had a letter of...

    Pulling trailers & Campers

    Horizon seems quite a bit strict in their hiring rules and regs,you are totally responsible for the trailer you are pulling..so if you go pick it up in the snow somewhere you better wipe off all the snow..cause if you miss a ding or a dent on your pre delivery inspection you get to pay to have...
