Just finished up reading the posts about our new president. So many people whining, ***ching, etc. I was just wondering how many of you actually took the time to vote? I, for one, didn't get to the voter's booth, so I have no right to speak up, thus I have sat quietly, disappointed in the...

We have had the luxury of being in California for a few days and as we prepared to leave smelled heavy smoke and heard a flurry of sirens. One cigarette butt carelessly tossed out of a car and 20 condominiums and 7 single family homes were destroyed.. It's amazing how fast fire can destroy and...

I'm sure that somewhere in the archives there is a post about people commenting about noticing that they have seen changes in rates, but **** if I can find them (have no patience in searching because it can take several hours), I'll just have to be (more than likely) repetitive in asking this...

Ban Boy wanted me to give a invite to his latest pics including but not limited great photoshop stuff.. He sends his regards and appreciates the support during exile.. Cynthia picayou's photos- powered by SmugMug

I am not a fleet owner so I will shoot ya straight.. It's a BS offer. We have only been at this 3 years but have had the misfortune of playing this game. You should be a good student and study the archives but more importantly seek advice or mentorship from someone in similar shoes.. Pm us...

Dang, have the prices gone up that much? I was quoted $500 to replace my crystal and have a thorough cleaning on my watch, but that was November 2006. I guess everything keeps going up in price. Cynthia

As RLent said, one does not know just by words. Mike (mrgoodtude) has posted a great deal to this forum. A majority of which have been very positive, entertaining (at times) and has provided a great deal of information. He also can be quite sarcastic (been around him to dang long), but...

Guess that is what I was getting at.. Airfreight is abundant in that area and I was going to suggest looking into Towne Airfreight as I believe they pay 68% of tariff and probably have alot of P&D.. But if you get .61 all miles plus $15 an hour with motels you will probably be ok.. Mike BTW...

I'd be happy to help out. Cynthia (and Mike)

Hey All, I bought one of these but have never used it. I misplaced the recipe book they sent with it and wasn't sure how to use the darn thing. I guess I'll have to see if I can get another book and start using it. For those of you that do have it and are using it, is it necessary to have...

RE: My Submission for the steering wheel zombie co He'll just cover it up with a little make-up! I'll let it ride this time as he showed me the pic right after he posted it. Fortunately, I have a good sense of humor (a MUST with living with Mike). Cyn

Thank you Rene and Terry, that means a lot to me and my partner. I wish you the best this upcoming year and perhaps we will meet sometime. Skittles

First off, I want to thank everyone that has contributed to this forum. I have been reading posts and archives for the past several months to get a better understanding of this business. While I am still confused about the types of trucks (I'm a female and I'll leave that up to my partner), I...

I have read this thread in detail and my interpretation is to start out as a driver. Time and time again, it has been reiterated for those starting out in this business to work for someone else to gain experience, understand this business and determine if this is right for you (me). So many...

Tom, I reread ATeam's response along with your respone to them and I don't understand why you made that comment to ATeam. ATeam was making an honest comment about how some fail and some succeed as a fleet driver or an owner. They said that some fail as drivers and some fail as owners and some...
