Hi will a 140 watt inverter run a tea kettle?If not what size inverter would I need?

Hi One of the reasons that companies do not give alot of perks is a few years back states such as Illinois started questioning our independent contractors status.The courts decided that if a carrier helps pay health insurance,fuel or maintanence then the owner operators are employees and can...

Hi This is why I don't ask for my board position.It really doesn't make any difference.If there is freight coming out of that area I'll get a load.Whether I'm #1 or #25. I would rather be sitting at a truck stop with 2 or 3 other vans ahead of me in rotation. That way I can get an idea of what...

Hi IMHO I think that they thought nobody would pay much attention to this change.You have people in this business that can't even tell you how much they grossed last year.They just drive their trucks and throw their reciepts into a shoe box for the tax preparer to figure it out.Even if the...

Hi Don't spend to much money.It only seems like you can afford it.Since you haven been paid yet you might be in for a suprise.Good luck.

Hi Yep at this rate we will be paying them for the pleasure of hauling freight.And if you really want depression look at old fuel and maintance reciepts.30 gallons of diesel for $28.00, a 55 gallon drum of Rotella $312.00 + drum deposit and oil filter $5.00.A 7.3l in the crate from Jasper in...

Hi Suggestion:run behind off in Nov, Dec and Jan then sleep in Feb.Kind of like bears and squirrels.

RE: landstar/7yrs/super Hi 24 to 48 hours on weekdays. Untill noon on Saturday. Its a flip of a coin on Sundays.If it the busy time of the year I like to troll for loads.Cargo van with Panther.

Hi I second the U Haul deal.Just get a cab to take you.You can rent a van for about $30.00.Then just drop it off at your neighbor hood U haul.

Hi I just bounced home from Dayton.I70 from Dayton to Zanesville is an absolute mess.But from Zanesville to Cambridge the roads are just wet.Yep all my clocks were flashing when I got home so the power must of been out here also.Good luck.Keep it sunny side up and between the lines.

Hi I read bambam's post and wondered what tips would you give a noob about driving in snow and ice.Personally I try to never change lanes on a bridge when its slick.Also I clean the windows and lights everytime I stop so I can see them and they can see me.

Hi I don't get it.Why do we have the illegal immigrant problem.All the jobs are moving down there but the workers keep moving up here.If big businesses keep sending job to Mexico maybe we should all move down there and send our earnings back to our families in the USA. And why is Mexico still...

Hi Yep I've had it happen.The bendix gets stuck.Usually tapping the front of the starter with a hammer will make it spring back.I didn't know it could be caused by low voltage though.Just always considered it a warning that the starter is going bad.

Hi Thanks Aviator that explains alot.One more question though.Is the ISAS treating this as a policeing mission,a peace keeping mission or a search for justice.

Hi The ground doesn't have to plowed or tilled if they use field grasses (hay).All the farmers have to do is mow it and bale it.It naturally grows back and they do it all over again.

Hi Are they flimsy or do they feel like they will hold up.Usually the tools I see advertised on tv just will not hold up.I've stripped the gears in most of my ratchet wrenchs.

Hi I wish p2 would have a separate dispatch for loads that require border crossings.That way they would only have to train a dozen or so dispatchers.This would also allow the drivers who cross the border on a regular basis to help train.I think alot of good info gets lost in the personal...

Hi Why is Bush sending more troops to Iraq and not to Afganistan?Has he forgotten who attacked us?It seems to me that he is pitting the US soldiers in Iraq against the US soldiers in Afganistan. Why does the news constantly report on Iraq but avoids talking about Afganistan?Its like the...

Hi The use of corn for fuel is a waste of energy and land.Field grasses produces the same gases.Just more worthless trivia from a very bored expediter.

Hi I still blame them for the hole in the ozone.Seems that shooting a flaming rocket thru something would cause some damage.More beleiveable than it was me using Right Guard.
