I've had no luck lately in the Charlotte, Greensboro areas...

Don't get me wrong. I am not saying I think these are things they "should" be doing. I signed up for the way it is and "expect" nothing more than that. All I am saying is the more a carrier can logistically do to aid in a higher rate of success and retention the better it is for the carrier. I...

I agree with what you said. I would go a little farther to say the Carrier has an even bigger responsibility to inform prospective contractors of the importance of having reserve money and the pitfalls of the business. I think it would be in thier best interest to do so. Turnover, as we know, is...

Yeah, I came to the same conclusion. I was just hoping someone would disagree with me because of the price but, like you said, its no bargain if it doesn't generate revenue and isn't safe to use.

To answer the original question, yes, I would be upset. I don't like anyone reaching in my pocket for money after we have agreed to terms of pay. I would stop using ComData if possible and look at changing carriers. Thats really your only recourse other than voicing your displeasure to the...

My understanding is White Glove will still have traditional CC's and the rest of us will have a team of CC/dispatchers. I believe our "team" will not change as CC's have in the past. The idea is to build a long lasting relationship between us. I think this should be an improvement. I really like...

I found a 2000 lb one with a decent size platform. A pallet would fit on it easily. I was going to pass on it for a couple of reasons. I talked to a friend who has been with Landstar for years and he said he did FEMA work and the water and canned goods was always around 2800 lbs. Also, this one...

I am looking at a used lift gate but am afraid it is a little short on weight capacity. What do you all consider the minimum acceptable to be and what do you have?

I don't see how people can't understand that gun control laws only affect law biding citizens. The criminals will always obtain what they need to commit thier crimes any way they can. After Columbine I wanted them to train and arm select teachers at each school. Why would that not be an...

Good idea, you have my support.

Someone told me FedEx was offering the same service but I haven't inquired about it yet. Been meaning to just forget.

Almost any kind recreational outdoor activity gets attacked by these idiots sooner or later. The one near and dear to me is dirt bike trail riding. Designated public trails and even privately owned lands are always coming under attack and threatened closure. Don't have any fun or they'll get ya...

They hold your settlement pay for being inactive?? What is the logic behind that or is there more I should know?

Am I just blind or oblivious? I haven't seen one that I can recall and thought about it when I saw thier banner adveritsing for drivers popped up on here.

Predatory lending practices is a different subject altogether. As for my mail box being crammed full of offers from credit card companies that is another case where I don't expect anyone to look out for me but myself. If I am stupid enough to max out every credit card I have and file bankruptcy...

You've answered your own question. Do you think you were safe? I know I don't want me or anyone I care about to meet you on the highway. Shame on your carrier too.

I am not going to quote the numbers here. You can do the research yourselves and it isn't hard to verify that the so called rich in this country pay a huge portion of all taxes collected. Its a fact people, the rich do pay taxes, corporations pay taxes and we pay taxes. Corporations, however...

I have tried leaving mine on more lately with varying results. Most of the time I can't leave it on very long for all the reasons you stated and the ones that think the microphone is an invitation to show off thier singing talents or let us all listen to thier favorite music. Every once in a...

Are you pre dispatched as well?

I'm having similar results with my 99 FL 70. I too try to minimize idling with my sleeping bag and a blanket but it is brrrrr cold in the north for this southern boy. I am in the Georgetown, KY Motel 6 tonight for $32 including tax. It ain't the Ritz but its new and seems clean. I can't idle 24...
