    Whatever happened?

    RE: Bush Aint got no Kohunas I can't believe after reading all of these, that no one responded to the folks on the left, how our system works. The people DO NOT ELECT the President, nor does the supreme court. By the way would tallcal, arkjarhead , cheri, etc. etc. been crying if the court had...

    Lets Rate Our Carriers

    CDL, I'm a little confused. You said you only had one complaint about your carrier. Not enough miles. BUT then you admit you turn down loads, solo driver, under CDL, and you still made OVER $100,000.00. I'm sorry call me stupid but I don't see a problem. You made over $100,000.00 you had to have...

    Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?

    My wife and our two children. Since they're both in their late twenty's, it's been a long time since we've all been together at the same time for a meal.

    Mexico freight??? here we go.....

    Dave, I know it's being done to a degree already. BUT, to the best of my knowledge, NLM does not have Mexico based carriers signed on YET. As soon as they have a problem getting shipments into or out of Mexico, they will be signing them up. In other words loads going from Detroit ( or else...

    Household Movers Guide Rates

    I was told HHG miles are shorter because they can take side roads for moving household goods. Companies such as Allied Van Lines, Mayflower, etc. All other (large) commercial veh. are prohibited on the side streets and/or routes.

    Mexico freight??? here we go.....

    NLM has sent e-mails to there carriers wanting to know how many would be interested in taking freight into and out of Mexico. At 1st I thought great, it may help getting loads out of the Texas area. Then it hit me. The U.S. and Mexico border would become like the U.S. and Canada border. In other...

    letter from a Marine

    A marine sent a letter home (actually it's a poem) to his dad that I think is worth sharing. The Marines name is Corporal Aaron M. Gilbert, US MARINE CORPS USS SAIPAN, PERSIAN GULF. I hope you enjoy it. My wife and I have fifty bucks on how long it will take for some peace on earth individual to...

    I only hang with Sheepdogs...

    Tallcal, I'm not a macho man. I just take advantage of our freedoms instead of taking them for granted. Ghandi changed the world??? I would not say for the better... Look around you at the world today. Or if you would like, look at how it was when he was around, nice change???

    I only hang with Sheepdogs...

    tallcal, I don't always respond to people's political views. So I was waiting for someone else to mention this. You said you were dumb-founded by our framers to grant the right to bear arms. I think you need a TRUE history lessen. The people were granted that right to defend themselves against...

    Economy Slowdown

    Sorry Terry and Rene, but I have to disagree with you on this. Freight volume is down period... If you think about it, how many times have we seen post on here saying they don't see the expedite trucks and vans out here like they used to. I do agree that their are many more expedite companies...
