    "I guess what I don't see why a non involved sort would be concerned about the rights of big biz and the liability of like folk playing fair.." Well, first of all, just because it's big biz doesn't mean it's OK. But mainly, it's not about the rights of big biz or the liability. It's about...

    "But once all that text is placed onto an excel spreadsheet it becomes data. Data has many uses." Just because you have the data does not mean you have carte blanche to use it as you see fit.

    Top 5 things you can do to make money with FED EX

    RE: Top 5 things to make money with any carrier It amazes me how people can take a perfectly good posting and go so far out of their way to respond to who said it rather than what was said. Happens a lot around here. Slow and steady, even in expediting, wins the race - Aesop

    Anybody finding any Ice anywhere???

    OVM, yep, still here. When I dropped off Monday morning the rest of the day was for sleeping, but I was #9 on the Hit Parade, anyway. I knew it would be a few days for me, so I just kind of sat back and enjoyed the warm weather, cause I know it's gonna end soon. I'm first out now, so probably...

    Accident

    And part of being the driver is properly caring for the equipment. If you drive for an owner and have an at-fault accident, it's your dime to cover the deductible, same as a freight damage claim. Slow and steady, even in expediting, wins the race - Aesop

    "We transflo straight from the truck." You trasnflo straight from the truck? How do you get a batch number, a receipt? Does that come via a return e-mail from Transflow?

    Anybody finding any Ice anywhere???

    I dropped off a load just outside Tulsa Saturday morning and contemplated sitting it out right there. But as the weather started moving in a little after midnight it became clear that Tulsa was starting to look like ground zero for that mess. I scooted on down to Dallas then got a 2AM Monday...

    Canada Panther & Getting paid in Canada

    I signed a contract that pays me a certain rate, and I do my best to live up to it. Just the same, I won't lose money on a run. If I ask for a bonus in order to run a load, and they won't give it up because another van might run it, that's fine. If another van will run a luzer, more power to...
