Hi Cheri, Good to see you here. The reason the government took over the assistance to the needy is because "the way it used to be" clearly didn't work. Those who hadn't any family, or religion, just fell through the cracks, (the way so many with mental disorders still do). Cheri -...

Thanks. I appreciate the advice.

Actually, disability is quite difficult to qualify for. First you have to go to SSD's Drs. who are paid to push the envelope to disqualify applicants - hoping that they'll just go away. Surely you've seen the commercials for Binder & Binder, a law firm that works exclusively for people that...

My husband and I will be picking up our new truck, probably next week, from the fleet owner. The truck will be equipped with a fridge and plug ins for flat screen TV and microwave. We also want to have ready access to the internet. What services are available to manage the satelite for TV and...

Simply not true! I have seen situations and circumstances that you simply couldn't imagine while you are sitting behind the wheel, cut-off from the world at large while still travelling it. I have seen hardships that you couldn't possibly imagine unless you'd been there yourself. I have...

Watch it again. The commercial says 1 gallon of fuel for ton of freight to go (I think) 400 miles. An 80 car train would burn a lot of fuel. The commercial is very misleading.

That is an excellent point, if you got into an accident you would call your agent to have your truck fixed - because that's what you pay insurance for. Right? Or, would you just pay to have it fixed out of pocket? Not likely! If you are staying in touch with "real world" news outlets, you...

. . . then I will agree with you,but if you just being introduced to trucking,then a few months with a good owner is valuable. So, Mr. Nightcreature, as a Newby just getting into the business - how am I to determine whether or not I am indeed going with a "good owner"? :confused: Some...

So, Nightcreacher, is that $200k before expenses with an 18 wheeler? Oh, and can anyone tell me what the heck a T-Val is. Thanks,

FKatz, So, my husband and I are just getting started driving team. In a couple of weeks we will being working with a fleet owner and driving for FedEx CC. What do we need to know about tax issues? Do we need to set up a separate business entity? What are the different types and...

Wow - You didn't mention a wave of new expediters! Don't Hate. I can only say that you are probably young. Your metabolism is also young. Used to be a time when I couldn't gain an ounce no matter what I ate. Now, my metabolism has slowed and I find it hard to loose and ounce. Funny thing...

I think DavdKC is right. That, as a matter of fact, is exactly what my husband and I are doing. No ES please. The most challenging thing that we have come across in the process is . . . that catch 22. :confused: Once you have passed your written exam with the State, you are permitted to...

Why, you looking for a J.O.B.? I heard on the news the other day that the one place in the country where there is no recession is in (you'll have to check this yourself because I could be wrong) Anderson, TX. They need rough necks for oil drilling. The town is growing. Money is there to be made.

What companies have you left? And, why?:confused:

I may not be the best person to answer this question, because I am not currently in the expediting business. But, that being said, I have done quite a bit of research on the issue. So, I will take a stab at it . . . I know if I quote something wrong someone will quickly correct my error!:p...

Greg, you've done your homework. I think there are more issues involved and your answers were fairly simplistic - but, this is in whole a very complicated issue and to resolve it we will need a government that is willing to head off this train. :eek: You're right, ignoring or denying a...

Hi Yall, I'm not really a newbie - I'm more of a wannabie. Things like the declining economy (specifically the "R Word") being thrown about on a regular basis; "Going Green" and the environmental effects of burning fossil fuels; and basically increasing fuel costs are all issues that seem to...

:confused: Hey Packmule, you need to go back and re-read that post - you appear very, very confused.
